I've had the same problem multiple times as well. Is your car a MY2012?

The only thing I've been able to find is it seems to mostly effect first MY cars and is just a thing that happens. Everytime I've taken it to the dealership they've unplugged the bulb and plugged it back in to make it go away.

Hopefully someone else will have more input.

Same issue here.. 2013 328i. I wiggled the bulb and it went away, warning came back on in a couple months. Annoying.

Just had this come up over the weekend. Which bulb? Or do I just "wiggle" them all? :-)

Just had my car in into the dealership Saturday because maintenance contract expired on Sunday. Of course on Monday when I went out to lunch this happened to my car(2013 328i), all the bulbs appear to be fine on my car as well.

I second mcleod52, does anyone happen to know which bulb is typically the culprit?

Stand in front of the car with it locked, then unlock the car with the remote and look at the lights in front. One will likely be out.

BTW, Oreilly Auto wanted $29.99 for the bulb, while NAPA got $9.99. Still high, but a lot less.
