Well it should actually be H21W reason...
Out driving on Sunday morning and the bulb warning light comes on. The right turn indicator started flashing very fast so I quickly narrowed it down to one of the 2 bulbs on the right front corner. As it happens, I was on my way to an auto parts store (Canadian Tire for any Canucks) that sells just about everything else as well so I thought I would pick up the replacement bulb while there. Turns out they didn't carry the required bulb and told me that I'd have to go to the dealership.
So today at lunch I head out to the dealership and discover when I get there that they want $26!!! Give me a break, that's probably 6x to 10x the price of a comparable bulb with a different base at the auto parts store. I expected to pay more but never thought I would have to get out the vaseline for such a basic part. Before he rang it up the guy behind the counter said he didn't know why BMW packaged the bulbs individually but having seen and paid the price I should think they would be using the same little velvet boxes jewelry stores use instaed of box board.
