Keeps Blowing Bulbs
Had my D3 since August and passenger side front sidelight went, then a month later headlamp bulb. A few weeks ago drivers side headlamp bulb and today drivers side sidelight bulb. What the hells going on. Never had any vehicle blow bulbs so often.

How's old is it, if its 7 years old then it probably ain't bad? They can be very temperamental if you use cheap bulbs, I always went for genuine ones.Joined the BMWX5 45e group

Have you got Halogen headlamps by any chance? I would suspect the D3 is set to Xenon's (previous owner probably swapped them out before selling). You just need somebody with a Faultmate to dis-able the Xenon and thus enable Halogens and Bob's yer uncle - worked when I did it on mine as I must have blown about 10 halogen headlamp bulbs in 2 years!
