From the Sylvania/Osram site:
http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProducts/AutomotiveLighting/LampReplacementGuide/
If you run the brass base bulbs in the tail lights of your E30, you'll likely be chasing funky check-control warning lights and wondering what is wrong with your system.
Don't use an American 1156 single filament tail light bulb, use a Euro 7506, for brake, backup, and turn signals in the rear.
Tail light/rear running lights take a 5007 bulb.
Up front, the turn signal/running lights are the 7528 dual filament bulbs.
