problem #1

X5 SW 3.2L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 105,315 miles

The left front blinker light went out, bought the bulb to replace it, couldn't find a way, there are no instructions. Took it to a garage that checked the BMW site on line and discovered that the front bumper has to be removed and that it will take 1.9 hours to do so.That has to be intentional. I will not pay this much money for the bumper to be removed, etc, and I could get a traffic ticket for the violation, which in turn would affect my insurance.

It appears that in manufacturing, this could have been avoided because the head lights (adjacent) are easy to access.
