1 week before i buy z4 2.0i n46b20 engine 6 speed manual (everything is fine except the engine) but right side headlight sometime work sometime not than i check "bulb" is ok after check cable sockets fuse's all ok still not working rarely works
What i need do it shall I burn the car or is there any other way

Have you identified exactly which bulb is failing? If so can you swap the bulb with the other side and see if the fault goes with the bulb or stays with the headlight?

Do you have halogen or xenon bulbs. I have xenon and one of those was tempermental for a little while before I replaced them.

Good morning, that's a teasing first post.
You have bought a car with a bad engine, but you are first interested in fixing the headlight?
What is wrong with the engine?
Have you bought this a project to fix?

Burn it, keep you warm for a while with all this snow around

Intermittent is usually caused by a poor earth - you could try attaching an additional earth from the headlight plug to a suitable grounding bolt or screw in the area and see if ythat cures the problem, also move the wiring harness about and see if the light comes on / goes off.
You should change the bulb as well and clean the bulb holder contacts in case is has oxidised.

Ah I see, well anyone who has the knowledge to fit a V8 should have no problem with finding the headlight problem.
Good luck, and look forward to seeing some photos.

Good news. Not too expensive either.
