I can't believe a car worth over $55,000 has such a cheap defective rear light mechanism and it is not even be a part of RECALL! I heard they did on other BMW models !

So, naive me, thought it would cost two light bulbs for replacement turned out to be over $1000 harness replacement at a dealer. What a shame for BMW!

Terrible terrible... I have owned many cars but this over a grand brake light fix is the first time Ugh!
