Yes, parts for the 1-series seem to a bitch for the dealerships to get. I am waiting for a headlight lens / casing that is apparently on national backorder.

This warning just came up for me last night. It turned off when I restarted the car, and they functioned properly, then a little bit down the road it came on again.

What has failed on your car? What part needs to be replaced? Is your problem now solved?

Thanks in advance.

oh boy...good luck. right front xenon headlight assmebly in including the xenon light bulb, ahl-xenon headlight, and xenon control unit were what was replaced. the parts are on national backorder so it could take over a week to get fixed. i got my car back 2 weeks an 1 day after bringing it in...yes, it is all fixed now. and its all covered under warranty...

I had the same problem. It took 2 months to get it fixed...waiting on parts, and waiting to get a loaner as well. It better stay fixed. Oh, they replaced the exact same items on mine as well.

I wonder what this part would cost out of warranty. $800? This sort of thing makes me worry about owning the car out of warranty.

Good estimate! I had to replace one of my Z4's xenon units damaged in a parking lot encounter. The parts price was around $800 for the unit plus ca. $200 for the bulb. Incidentally, there were 5 different BMW part numbers listed for an '03 Z4 xenon unit! (One reason I've got good ol' halogens on my 128i.)
