Apparently BMW has caught on that this is an issue. After my third visit the SA told me that they had been replacing the tail light assemblys and that the part was becoming a rare camodity finding itself on back order. I guess the look on my face and the question about how long i would have to drive around with a burned out lamp prompted his quick response, "but we have a fix for you that will eliminate the problem once and for all". Thats when he explained that the fix came down from BMW. This fix was base on order # 63 08 07. Repair 2 circuit board contacts. WE shall see how long it last. 
Edit: Isn't there a a link for BMW TBS online?
