You could try to tilt the wheels for easier access. I have done it many times. Unscrew the mud guard and tilt the wheels and you should be able to take them off. A bit easier than taking the front tires off.

Look directly behind where the bulb sits. There's a circular cap with a knob. You simply twist out and remove.

There are not aftermarket PY24W bulbs at the moment. Your only option would be the OEM mirror coated bulbs which comes on the E9x M3s
