| My 2001 bmw 330i is experiencing tail light problems. the right rear turn signal light does not work and when activating it, it blinks twice as fast on the front and side marker. on the display panel it shows the rear right signal is out. the left rear brake light is also out. this problem has been going on for a few months now at least. the car display on the dash indicates that the rear right brake light is out. i have changed everybulb in the rear of the car which fixed nothing. i then disconnected the the tailight connector on each side to reveal that some of the pins inside of the connection have melted away. i am positive that is the problem as it is with the 2002-2005 model 3 series. i called bmw about the recall and of course 2001 is not included yet! i hope this gets fixed soon. it is extremely inconvenient and dangerous. *tr | |||

| There is a current recall for 2002-2005 bmw (various models) regarding the rear lights. we are experiencing the same problems in our 2001 330i. the right rear tail lights do not work and the turn signal blinks and the turn signal sound is twice as fast as normal. i am writing to make your department aware that the model years should be expanded to include the 2001 bmw 330i. | |||
