Mines a 2018 too, i recently gave up after 3 years of intermittent failure both sides. I didnt want to take it for warranty as BMW would update the car and block obd tuning which i use.
The coding fix didn't really do anything for me except prevent dash warning even when the turn signal was failing. I've not heard of any failures with the later darkline light versions fitted from about 2020 ( may be wrong though). So i bit the bullet recently and bought 2 new darkline taillights from a eBay ( genuine parts). So far so good, but early days yet. |

I have just joined the club with mine right indicator tail light.
I have an m2C MY19 but luckily is still under warranty. According to the dealership they are not sure that the warranty can cover this issue, I am waiting for a confirmation by BMW Italy because the taillight has some condensation and drops of water inside (the gasket of the taillight wasn't perfectly fitted)... I am losing my patience and thinking to try by myself cleaning the connector and using bimmercode... |

So any water inside means a factory fault or its cracked. The reversing lamp is removable and has a rubber seal so I think that is the only place where water could get in otherwise. |

Left rear flagged for me today. Only once though...will observing the rest of the week. Anyone know if BMW will do any coding for this if they replace the lamps? Should be plug and play no?
I definitely don't want them touching my ECU/ODB...

That's why i never took mine for any warranty work and had to fix /pay for faults myself, including new tail lights eventually. |

For warranty work especially, they will not do anything more than the bare minimum since they get paid by the labor hour. Taillight replacement wouldn't require programming or coding.

Maybe UK specific but here in order for dealers to get any warranty claim approved the first stage has to be "vehicle updated to current level". I had to refuse the HK amp splash guard fitment recall as they said the vehicle would also have to be updated. |

I’ve recently learned that FCP Euro is now carrying the LCI/M2C rear light assemblies. Yes! That means this problem is now effectively covered by FCP’s lifetime guarantee.
