seems simple enough but I haven't been able to find a manual (the car didn't have one). I assume the only way is through the hatch in the wheel well, after removing the wheel.
If anyone has a digital copy or knows where I can get a copy of the 2006 M Roadster manual I would be extremely grateful. I hit a dozen sites and found nothing useful.... just basic sh*t, the 48 page Owners booklet etc.

cheers

Let me know if you still need help with it, I've replaced all of them before.
 
Owners Handbook for a 2.5 E85 here details bulb change page 84 onwards, access through wheel arch cover, can be done by turning the wheel or remove the wheel for more space.

You don't need to remove the wheel. Left wheel, just turn it outward, to the left. There's plenty of space to unlatch the light cover to get in there. I've changed blinker bulbs and headlight bulbs like this.
 
Thanks for sharing these tips.
Does this method work for other bulb replacements like headlights, or is there a different process for them? Also, does anyone recommend a specific tool to make unlatching the cover easier?
