I think there\'s a DVD available on how to do this.  It\'s not too scary!

What mods are you running?  Have you checked the bulb sensor?  Its on the back bulkhead and can sometimes lead you to think its popped.

You can\'t risk DIY-ing it, make sure you get a reputable professional to do it - and check the warranty!

Yeah! I advice WGT, Pip knows all about blown bulbs! You should tow the car there just incase, you don\'t want to risk any further damage!

Just make sure the bulb holder is within tolerance and dont need a light skim before you fit the new one, or it wont last long

Nah mate, location is up here on the right >>>>>

Only had the Beemer for a few weeks (twice the mpg of the Rex) and apparently I get:

My own lane on the motorway/dual carriageway on the far right
Radar assisted cruise control so I can sit 2 feet from your arse
No indicators
