Simple, but happened to me the first time after picking up my E46 from an authorized dealer. Not knowing, I called them and they suggested a bulb, which it was. Fixed myself but just bad timing since they had disconnected the battery for some of their other repairs and it seemed to be related on the drive home. BTW, that was the easiest car to change bulbs in I've ever had! No tools necessary. <rear tail light> >> My left turn signal blink rate doubled (twice as fast) while my right >> turn signal rate remains unchanged.

If you havent, its a good place to start. > My left turn signal blink rate doubled (twice as fast) while my right > turn signal rate remains unchanged.

Turn the Left Side blinkers on and compare the inventories. Make all lights on the left side that are not on on the right side come on. > My left turn signal blink rate doubled (twice as fast) while my right > turn signal rate remains unchanged.
