Hi All,
2004 e60 530i ......... I have a warning coming on the screens when i start the car claiming i have a left rear light failure. Problem i have is there seems to be no problem.
the service screen in the idrive suggests i go to the stealer to have them look at it however is there a way i can a) source this imaginery issue or b) clear the erroe code.
thanks in advance.

Mine came on and I checked the bulb... it was loose... I put it in tight and the error msg went away. I wouldnt go to the stealership for a bulb.

+1 ... loose bulbs or corrosion in socket are common problem. Another is when a bulb is near failure with a broken filament that occasionally connects in the bulb and shows intermittent errors.

my error message would come on when i would break only, it would suggest to go to the dealer aswell (but then any warning and it wants u to take it in)
found out i had a bad bulb in there
swapped it out and its gone
