I have a 2003 bmw 325xi but there isn't a 2003 year to enter for some reason. Both tail lights and both headlights have gone out multiple times. Hazard light and main lock next to hazard light button have gone out completely, dash warning light have also gone out but have since been fixed with fuses.

This is for a potential fire hazard or possible rear end accident due to a known failure in the terminal block on the tail lights.
(1) parked at a light. (2) light changed, I accelerated, the engine lost power, various dash warning lights came on, I nursed the car through the intersection, and pulled over. Turned the car off, restarted, dash warning lights came on again. After talking with the service department I reached the conclusion that the car was driveable. Warning lights stayed on but engine power was back and I was able to get the car home. (3) dealer researched the problem and found a service bulletin which explained the engine failure as an electrical fault involving "defective crimping" in the throttle motor, resistence fluctuation due to pin contamination, or "faulty crimping or defective female pins" on a connector. Wiring harness and throttle motor were replaced.
The seat belt latch triggered the air bag default and the air bag had become inoperative. The service check failed to correct the problem. Even though the system was cleared, default/inoperative air bag occurred with the next seat belt latch. (model 325xi) *jb *scc
