I would swap over the other bulb to make sure the bulb is bad again. Assuming it is, I would replace it again with a bulb from bmw and make certain you do not touch the belb when installing. If it goes out again, or the bulb from the other side when swapped over also does not work at present, then the ignightor or xenon control unit is likely bad.

 


I hope that is helpful, please let me know if you have further questions, or if I can clarify anything.

 


Best wishes to you and best of luck with the vehicle.
