Can anyone tell me how to get at the fog light bulbs? I do not see the screw the owners manual says should be there.

Thanks - Bill 2002 M5

Insert a small flat screw driver in the crack between the outter edge of the foglight cover and the bumper cover. Lever the cover towards the other fog light and the cover will snap up and out. The screw is easily seen from there. When replacing the cover note that the flat (inner) edge of the foglight cover has little tabs that must be properly seated before snapping the rounded (outter) end in place. Drink beer.

Two tips in addition to what rvacha mentioned. You might want to wrap the screwdriver with some black electricial tape as not to scratch up your paint. Either that or find a flat plastic screwdriver. And do NOT touch the screw visible through a hole on the black bracket. That's to align the foglight. The mounting screw is as rvacha said, under the black bracket.

Good points Jason....but at least I remembered the part where you drink beer
