Cracked / smashed foglight
Gutted!!
6 weeks old and discovered one of the foglight lenses smashed, the unit still works but was wondering if just the lense can be replaced or does it have to be the whole unit? Would it be worth pursuing bmw under warranty or am I wasting my time, there is no damage to the bumper so I'm guessing a stone has hit it but likewise I would expect the lense to be stronger than it is.

It cost £190. I think that I will ask the dealer to submit it as a warranty claim. Roger |

Replacement unit with bulb cost £125, the partsman said the bulb alone is almost £40 but you cannot buy the unit without one.
Thankfully its an easy job to replace - took 5 minutes after dusting off the cobwebs of the user manual - see it does have its uses!!
