SIB 06 05 26 (2026-01-20) BMW 230I 2025 VISIBILITY/WIPER Headlight Return MC-11028204-0001.pdf Posted on https://g87.bimmerpost.com/forums/

The link above is to a forum which includes USA members, same issues over there. BMW have now apparently changed the design slightly, date on these is 2025 manufacture, check if it is replaced. I tried using the forum information but it was rejected as it is someone's personal opinion of a fault, not BMW's. Two headlights replaced is £3500+, the attached image was mine and BMW still had to prove the unit was faulty.

A re-occurring problem with the G42, see link from another forum below regarding issues. I had both replaced @ 12 months old and nearside replaced again @23 months. Covered under warranty once tested by BMW, you have to jump through hoops to get anywhere, as BMW don't recognise the issue then after warranty who knows what will happen https://www.babybmw.net/threads/g42-headlamp-condensation.147368/

Good morning, been visiting as a guest on a few occasions and finally joined. My name is Stewart and based in the north east of England just south of the borders I currently own a 73 plate 240I LCI and a also have a 68 plate 435d cabriolet (wifes car). Previous BMW's and first were a 66 plate 420d coupe followed by a 20 plate 135i both of which I no longer own. I have posted images in the members gallery for viewing. Apart from the cars, other hobbies include Scuba diving and mountain biking but as coming up to retirement age these might be short lived. I hope I can contribute with learnings over many years of previous car ownership as well as picking up tips from others
