I just bought a 2018 X2 M Sport X amazing car and the nicest car I've ever owned. 

Previous owner had coded some minor bits on the car which I wanted to revert back to stock. Seller gave me the OBD adapter after I said I wanted to reset it all they said it's easy but he would give me the OBD incase I wanted to do anything to it. 

I followed his instructions on putting things back to stock, using the OBD adapter. Everything seemed to go well other than my right rear indicator has thrown up an error on the car and doesn't work now. Also the front right headlight indicator and mirror indicator also started working differently flashing faster than before. 

The seller followed me through sorting this out, which has worked but still no rear right indicator. 

We tried several attempts while I was on the phone to get this sorted to no avail. 

Can anyone point me in the right direction to a fix please?

Morning James

Welcome to the Forum 

First I gave never had a chance to poke around a 2 series so some information may be needed

If the rear lights are LED they can still fail (had it on my E70) sadly they are not serviceable so the whole unit will need replacing, or (fingers crossed) is there a Bulb that has failed? A failed bulb often causes rapid flashing of other indicators on that side.

I would first do the easy thing and check if there is a bulb to change

If it isn't one of the easy fixes then a Diagnostic scan is needed if you have program access do you have diagnostic access?

Hope this helps

Morning Greydog, thanks for the warm welcome to the group!

I do have diagnostic capabilities using Bimmerlink/Code with an OBD adapter. 

There was a fault present but looking into it it's showing as front right headlight issue and not rear! 

I'm going to take a look at fuses tomorrow however I know from looking into it there's not a fuse for the headlight itself rather the controller for the whole headlight system and a few other things. 

I'll also pull out the headlight itself see if there is a bulb, I'm sure they're LED though 😔

 

Thanks for the reply by the way, I'll keep you updated!

Hi James

If you aren't aware take a look at www.realoem.com put the last 7 digits of your Vin into the search box it will call up your model then look at Lights section. You should be able to see what you need and get an idea of how it goes together. If you need parts you will have the Part numbers then just Google them to get the best price 

It was the rear unit I wondered if the indicator was a Bulb (it is on the E70)
