Or are they also charging for tea and crumpets downtime. 1/2 hour for coding? It's not like they are recoding/programing the entire ecu or perhaps a really/really slow computer? |

I think he’s being sarcastic/ironic about how BMW inflates it’s costs…

My right headlamp is now crazy bad, taking it in as it looks terrible!
Hopefully there isn’t a huge back order in the UK! |

Had zero issues with condensation since mine were done, but they weren't as bad as yours are! |

Anyone got some news on this matter?
I’ve complained like a crying baby to Bmw support and 3 different dealers 😂 Wont accept the headlights looking like shit on a new car, maybe if we bought a Dacia or some cheaper brand i could expect a lower quality. Latest i got was approximately 2weeks ago and there was no new part number for the headlights at that time. All the headlight replacements must have cost a LOT of money for Bmw.. instead of just find the issue and fix it ![]() |

Mine are going in for their second replacement on 15th January. Having been replaced already in April. No question having them replaced. The dealer told me BMW have recognised this issue but not sure if a redesign is on the cards.

After thinking about what causes this, as it clears after a few days of sitting without driving. The only explanation I can think of is when the engine compartment gets warm, hot air passes thought the light units and condenses on the cold lenses. The active grill being closed doesn't help matters I think.

I’ve heard some dealerships pressure test the headlights and if they can do that on the replacement units before shipping them to the dealer that would be good 👍 But if your theory is right it maybe doesn’t matter if the headlights are properly sealed or not 🤔 Not so eager to get them replaced again if not guaranteed it will be better as it’s a big job and last time they fucked up a lot of stuff.. |

The one positive of bringing my car to inspect/replace the headlights
is that they gave me a 2024 M850i as a loaner. From the driver seat, the cockpit very similar to the G42, but more lavish. The Merino leather seats are very nice and are ventilated as well as heated. The 4.4L twin turbo is also impressive. |

not something you want to deal with on a new car G42 or G87 both expensive enough to not have this kind of issue. Merry Christmas anyway 🎁🎄🎅🏼 |
