Changing headlamp bulbs on E90

I can confirm you can fit the bulbs without having to take off any wheels or inner wheel arches. It can all be done from the engine bay.
However how the feck do you get to the side light bulbs these are major hard work to get too.

Unless you have 12'' long rubber fingers then it's time to get the wheels and arch liners off the car.

In a 335 you cannot access the bulbs through the engine bay.
You either remove the wheels and liners or remove the front bumper.

Had a side light blow last week - dealer replaced under warranty. Which was a pleasant surprise.
