Hi tmr,

Another front headlight bulb went out in my car the other day (that makes a total of 5 burned out in 1 year's time in addition to numerous more serious problems). I spoke to the service manager who has not be very helpful in this matter. I am convinced that this is either a product or service issue (what else could it be?), but he is not convinced and seems to think its bad luck.

Given my poor experience with both BMW's product and customer service, I would highly recommend another car. My previous 95 vw golf and 87 acura integra were entirely trouble free and I never even had to replace a single lightbulb. My family has owned over 5 hondas/acuras and they have all been trouble free.

I think the 3 series is a good car, but unless you are willing to deal with a lot of potential problems (my car has 22,000 miles), I would recommend another option.

I would be happy to tell you more about all the problems I've had if you have any specific questions. Good Luck.
