Thanks for the suggestion, but they are both good. However I did find that the left angel aye was out. Rather thna take an academic approach, I swore and slammed the hood shut, and it came one again. I will ahve to try taking that bulb out and inspect it for corrosion. But for at least now the problem is fixed!

Hopefully my quick fix (see post above - slamming the hood in anger!) will hold the repair off until I can work in warmth and comfort..... a heated garage anyway!

Thanks for everyone's help,

Memo to BMW: You could come uo with a more meaningful error message!
