I'm down in Cornwall - kind of you to offer though thanks.
Yes I'd probably go for spacers in that case.
I want the M Sport for all the spec stuff, but I don't want the M Sport for the sporty ride and look. Tricky!

Update!

There has been much happening following conversations with BMW and my nearest dealership. £205 inclusive to supply and fit whatever this damned bulb is. I've asked for confirmation of the bulb type and whether wheel removal etc is necessary, if it is as I am advised, then the handbook is clearly incorrect, and i will seek some input from BMW.

Watch this space.

BMW have agreed to pay the dealer to replace this bulb while the car is having the front airbags replaced.

When i asked the dealer if this was an admission that the supplied handbook was woefully inaccurate, i received a rather bland non commital answer. Regardless, the outcome for me is the same, for which i am grateful. It was neither a job i fancied doing and even less, one i was happy to pay for.

For the second time in many years of BMW ownership, i am pleased at the outcome of complaining to the makers. Its nice to be heard and responded to positively.

What a result
Well done you

The handbook for my i4 still showed completely the wrong gear shifter (think X6 type lever) for months after BMW stopped using them and went to a simple switch. They do have a bad rep for crap manuals.

Very poor and very surprising
