The next Generations 2011 BMW 5-series 535i GT

The next morning I decided it had to be a relay that was at fault so I hunted around the car looking for relays for the lights. I checked the handbook for the location of it. I took panels off here and there,I removed literally every fuse and relay I could find, pulled them all out and put them back in again. And guess what the light would still not go off. So I started looking on the web for answers. I visited most of the BMW forums I could find and found a few owners that seemed to have the same problem. Some of the answers that came back were quite similar, some people said it had to be a relay, someone suggested removing the battery for 10 minutes, then reconnecting it again and it should all reset itself again and everything should be Ok. I tried the battery idea but that didn't work either. So over the next week or so I went back to the web again and finally someone said they had tried those things and then eventually gave up and took their car to a BMW dealer.After parting with a wad of cash to pay BMW for their services, BMW said there are no relays to control the lights and the lights are all controlled by the "LCM".

 

The BMW 5-series' price on the European market starts at 40,000 EUR in Germany for the 520d version and can go as high as 70,000 EUR for the 550i version.
