I was going down the road doing about 45 mph, at night on a back road when my front headlight on the drive side without. On the dishboard of the car the check bulb light came on. I got home the next day when tk the part place to get a bulb to find out the wires where bare there was only metal no plastic. Theg told me you had to replace the hole thing witch cost over 1000 dollars for. I went home research it online, and found out it happens a lot on BMW, and they never recall them. That they have even been on fire due to this. I called BMW and they told me they know of the issue, and they have yet to recall then and after you fit it it will happen again and about five years due to heat.
