2004 bmw 330xi sedan (e46) rear tail light indicator light consistently comes on, even though there is no tail lamp failure. Online community forums report that this is likely due to ground wire short in the tail lamp assembly. Cost of repair at dealership estimated at $700. Currently being investigated by the federal safety agency as ea09-019, but I'm wary of being overcharged by dealership for what should be a recall.

I want to report a problem with the ignition coils in the bmw 330xi model made in the year 2004 that results in reduced ignition firing power. The engine runs rough and the "service engine soon" light illuminates. Bmw had a recall on ignition coils failure in 2005 and 2006 on some models but this problem now surface on other models as well. Please investigate.
