I hope it is just the AE. However when my AE stopped working, I bought a new AE and the stealership fitted it. However, even once fitted, it still would not work. They then done some diagnosis and identified it was a LM that was needed. As you can imagine I was not impressed.

Just to correct that my bulbs were in fact not replaced with LED's today but with longer life halogen bulbs. The SA said he gave me incorrect information. Bummer. I think I will now look into after market LED's. Whats a good brand?

I had my right parking light, (AE), go. I bought a new bulb from the stealers and they attempted to install. However, this did not fix the problem. After further diagnosis it needed a new light module and programming. Not the cheapest of things! I was told by the SA that he has seen this more frequently on the adaptive xenons as I have.
Hopefully you won't need to change your LM.

I actually had water damage due to clogged storm drains only 4 months after buying the car... i somehow worked the headlamp into the damage
Look for my thread with "Worst day in my BMW life" or something like that... what a fiasco that was.... make sure your drains are clear because it will back up the water right into your passenger area!
On a side note, my AE is working again... must have been a loose connection or its on its way out but either way I am upgrading!!

You do not need to change the LM. The LM cannot affect just the angel eye bulb. It;s definitely a lie!!! Dont trust the dealers.
Thanks! Yes we carry it.
