This isn't correct, Left lights have there cables on the left and right lights have then on the right. This goes for all the lights even the licence plate lights are split in left and right. The defroster is in both sides.
Pritty sure there is no no difference for left en right handed cars, that would be stupid

If it is the brake lights, then I'll just wait it out and see how it goes. Doesn't seem too bad if I'd have to replace it. It's a $100 part at least.

Today i opened the passenger side outside loom. No damage that i can see.
Isnt that where the right brake light is? I have a "Rear Right brake malfunction error" in idrive.
Also anyknow know the specific loom with the comfort access wires.
While popping the hinge on the glass, i forgot to keep pressure on the hinge and it catapulted my bolts into a black hole. I had to stop and drive to BMW to get a new bolt which wont arrive until monday...

Swap the bulbs around. Could be a bulb on its way out.
Also there are 2 bulbs each side for the brake light, check carefully that all 4 work and swap them around.
Not sure about the comfort access, but the diversity antenna below the spoiler has cables left and right. Remove the spoiler and you will see quickly.

Good idea, thanks for posting. It should be an obvious thing to try first but often we read a forum and assume what's going on with our own car is exactly the same.
My key fob will open the rear hatch however the actual electric handle will not. One section of the right brake lamp but also the right reverse lamp are out. Will test lamps before digging in.
