My Ride: 550i
Hi,
Recently purchased my 08' 550i CPO, great car, but still discovering missing and broken things.
One is - fog light adjustment screw, can's seem to find its part number, asked people in my local BMW dealer part dept - they could not figure out either.
I tried realoem.com, but the screw is not seem to be a part of fog light or front bumper diagram.
Anybody here can help?

Well, when I purchased the car I noted steering shimmy and they promised to fix it. Eventually I had to pay myself for wheel balance and they found a bent rim. The seller now refuses to replace it saying I bent it myself. I know I did not.
I bet same gonna happen to the missing stuff like this screw, they will just say I lost it _after_ they sold it.
BTW, I have another missing screw from under the hood, which secures plastic piece covering brake fluid tank. Anybody can help me identify that one? It's a torx screw. It seems like this one is 17117510907 from "Microfilter/housing parts" diagram, but not sure.

+1 failing ballast for sure. You can buy any one of the ones they sell on eBay and swap them. I recommend the slim digital ballasts vs. the normal ones. They all have the universal plug. If you look hard enough, you will find some sellers who have been in business for a while and provide a decent warranty.
