I have a left turn signal + brake light + reverse light 💡 malfunction on my 2015 F56 mini hardtop. The mechanic told me that the pin was burnt out and it cost $259 to replace. Is that a fair price?

Sorry, I do not speak Spanish. Here is how your message is translating for me: “I already changed the bulbs but on the board it keeps showing me that I am doing help please” I’d love to try and help, just need to know what problem you are experiencing. Thanks! ----- en español: Lo siento, no hablo español. Así es como su mensaje se está traduciendo para mí: “Ya cambié las bombillas pero en el tablero me sigue mostrando que estoy haciendo ayuda por favor” Me encantaría tratar de ayudar, solo necesito saber qué problema está experimentando. ¡Gracias!

Hey Felipe, thx for reaching out. Pulling the codes for the airbag light show a faulty airbag control module on mine. I suggest pulling your codes and seeing what faults are present as the light can be on for many reasons. Best of luck!!

Dang. I did not know what I was getting into. Mine is damaged from going to carwashes by previous owners. I got the new base but I not know how to remove and replace. My 2014 Clubman has no sunroof. It’s a base model with no GPS, etc. (Mini manual tells me no automatic car wash. Now I know why.) The number of wires differs as the R55 Mini has no GPS or the cellphone wires. The base replacements vary from 60USD to 120USD. The diff is in the GPS and cellphone antenna. Crikey.

You can remove the panel that the lights mount on (the one you are working on) simply by reaching inside the little storage area behind the taillights inside the car, and pushing down on the tab that you can see on the top of that panel. No need to remove the taillight lenses, etc....

No, you can't. Those clips help hold the whole unit in the body of the car. The bulb assembly is held in place by a series of little clips around the shell of the unit ( as he shows in the video).

Bummer! I have been back many times but ALWAYS unscrew the shorty antenna. No problems since. I hear it happens most during cold weather as the plastic is more brittle. I don’t risk it anymore and just remove it each time. Good luck on the fix. Many have saved a lot by doing it themselves.

Thanks for the video & all fitted. However, mine only has the blue block connnector inside the headlining. So the white one (3rd wire) goes nowhere as it's a generic BMW/Mini part to fit others, but my issue is i have no pink block in the car? All very odd & BMW are looking into it. I did connect the blue-blue & try the Satnav, but sama as you i'm still around 200 miles off track. I wonder if disconnecting the battery would have same effect as an OBD?
