Pauly,

I just sent the following email to my BMW service advisor:

"Hi AJ,

An acquaintance with an E70 X5 in NY has the same cracked headlight problem I had a while ago and his dealer is not aware of the manufacturing defect that caused my headlights to be replaced under warranty. I know that BMW N Scottsdale was also not ware of this manufacturing defect until the factory rep came by. Do you have any information on my old cracked headlights problem (details, warranty code, internal BMW reference #) I can give my acquaintance to help him out?

Thanks!

Christiaan"
