    If this was just some random dude there would be 20 negative comments about what she says ~ 35 seconds into the video. I found the video helpful but can't believe how guys will overlook a gal making a trivial mistake (rightfully so) vs when a guy does the same. It's always a fun learning experience to watch people interact when you take the time.

      This is the 2nd time in a month that I've had to remove the RF wheel & liner to fix simple stuff. Last week the windshield wash reservoir filter got clogged w slime and had to removed/flushed/replaced. No idea what caused stringy slime (incompatible fluids?) but its a common occurrence & was a PIA to get to.

    Replaced today my halogen H7 on my E90. It was 10 $. The downside is we don't get the xenon light output. Also the 2011 models have the window in the front of the wheel where you can open it and replace the bulb. In that case you don't have to remove anything. It takes less than five minutes. I found your info useful.

    Bulb price sounds like AdvancedAuto. In case you buy stuff from there, a quick google for coupon codes usually will get you 25% off if you make your purchase online with store pickup. Maybe you already knew, I don't know. I try to buy my stuff from FCPeuro because because everything they sell has a lifetime warranty. They say everything they sell. They say no catch but I'd be curious to hear what people say.
