The side blinkers on mine are full of moisture droplets that does not seem to evaporate. Should I ask the dealer to replace (will they?) or replace myself? Wouldn't mind swapping them out with some kind of LED replacement but not sure of any good ones out there.

could be a bad seal, so possibly could be replaced under warranty...
if you decide to get aftermarket LED side indicators...browse the vendor classified section as we have a few vendors that carry that product....

are they the oem lights? i would take them out myself and look at them first.
just grab the light and slide it to the side....i think towards the rear of the car.
then the light just pops out. make sure the bulb socket was seated right. i would take them the light housing out and dry them with a hairdryer or put them near fan.

Addit. turn indicator lamp, left white, 63137165741
Addit. turn indicator lamp, right white, 63137165742
Same for E60/61 and E60N/61N (LCI)
Slide marker towards the rear of vehicle, only a little movement is needed. The tip of marker that points to the front of the vehicle can then be easily pried away with finger tip or credit card. Best to clean area around marker before working.
