Gold will not deter savage birds! How about a warranty, if this happens again, it will be in the house?
It would look good in the beemer's community! After all, what are the chances this to happen again?
Just a thought,  :thinking:

After my pheasant experience, a friend of mine bought me a life size hawk decoy.  Still looking for the official BMW mounting bracket because as we know it has to have BMW written on it.  Given the right old kerfuffle with changing bulbs (previously discussed at length here) taking the light out may be the simpler option :)

While you had the headlight unit out you should have popped in 3 LED headlight bulbs.

Too late now but do you have a recommendation for suitable LED bulbs that work with the RT Can-Bus system. Something I may consider later.

Yes sure. Both Terry and myself have changed and are using these (with great success):
