you have to completely remove ur tail light harness from the trunk and then u will be able to access all the bulbs its like 3 bolts per side

i was talking about the front turn signal bulbs but thanks anyways. i have to remove the wheel well or tire to get good access to it, more work than i was looking for at this stage

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.

you dont have to rmove the rear light to get the bulb out there is a small flat piece of plastic on the baclk of the light push it down and slide the black plastic out which contains all the bulbs

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
