Adaptive lights and turn signal failure. There seems to be a widespread issue with BMWs across all makes and models. The failure of the turn signal creates a safety hazard in that the car is unable to properly signal a change of lanes or turn at stop signs or stop lights. BMW is aware of this defect but has failed to act.

Suddenly the car headlight, taillight and brake light on the passenger side stopped working in middle of night. Only the right indicator works now. Its a big safety issue. I could have had a major accident if it had happened on a busy highway. I think BMW had this issue with some of 3 series models.
