I think some guy on a bike with a crummy flashlight strapped to the handlebars rode by me and cast a shadow :)

Ryan. Thanks for keeping us in the loop. I have nothing to add, other than the fact that, a headlight should not be a standard wear part. The bulb... Sure. The bowl, no way. Should last life of car.

Well, surprise surprise Patrick BMW changed their story when I got there this morning. All of a sudden it was $200 to diagnose the problem because the car is out of warranty, and then it actually went up again while I was talking with the guy to $200 per headlight :rofl yesterday the lady was super nice about it on the phone, asked if I had a number etc for them to mail or fax what they found...this guy was just an ass.
So, back to the nhtsa to see what they have to say. I obviously didn't pay to have them tell me something I already knew, and that was actually per the request of a government agency.
Glad I got out of the house so early to basically be insulted. Gotta love dealers...

dealer told me the reason the projector bowls got burned out is because the bulbs weren't installed correctly. How can this be???? The bulb holders are "keyed" so the bulb can go on one way....then there's the bulb retainer that ensures the bulb is correctly held in place and aligned. I didn't buy their answer so I just rebuilt my headlights....still disgusted by how BMW will address a tail light issue but won't bother with the burnt bowls issue on ZKW headlight assemblies.....
They also told me they had to remove the entire bumper to get to the headlight. Ummm...I think yer doin it wrong....

LOL I can remove my headlight in 3 minutes. The magic is I don't have to take the bumper off. Damn BMW......
The dealership is trying to rip you off by telling you this. The headlights can be removed with bumper in place...:facepalmQuote:
