Bootlid tail light dealer "modification"

Hi guys/gals,

Not sure if many other people here have had this little issue arise but thought I'd bring it up.

The right side bootlid light kept popping out on my 328i. So I swung by the dealership and luckily they were able to take the car in for an hour on zero notice to modify the bootlid/tail light so that it would stay attached as it should.

I should be receiving the work sheet tomorrow and will have a bit of a look as to what they did exactly. But it seems to be a known issue within the dealer network as they had a "modification" already sorted.

The upside was the lovely lady that sold me my vehicle showed me the new M6 and 6 series Gran Coupe. All I can say is that I plan to sell my first born for one of these haha.

Ahhhhh yes.....

the old tail lights fall out and dangle along being the car as you drive trick....

both by tail lights suffered this fate. There is a service bulletin out regarding the issue, I believe you'll find they glued a small additional piece to the tail light clip to stop it falling out again.

Mine have been fine since then.

Make sure they fix both of them!

The other one will just fall out eventually if they don't.
