I'm down in Cornwall - kind of you to offer though thanks.
Yes I'd probably go for spacers in that case.
I want the M Sport for all the spec stuff, but I don't want the M Sport for the sporty ride and look. Tricky!

E70s, with halogen lighting
Update!
There has been much happening following conversations with BMW and my nearest dealership. £205 inclusive to supply and fit whatever this damned bulb is. I've asked for confirmation of the bulb type and whether wheel removal etc is necessary, if it is as I am advised, then the handbook is clearly incorrect, and i will seek some input from BMW.
Watch this space.

BMW have agreed to pay the dealer to replace this bulb while the car is having the front airbags replaced.
When i asked the dealer if this was an admission that the supplied handbook was woefully inaccurate, i received a rather bland non commital answer. Regardless, the outcome for me is the same, for which i am grateful. It was neither a job i fancied doing and even less, one i was happy to pay for.
For the second time in many years of BMW ownership, i am pleased at the outcome of complaining to the makers. Its nice to be heard and responded to positively.

The handbook for my i4 still showed completely the wrong gear shifter (think X6 type lever) for months after BMW stopped using them and went to a simple switch. They do have a bad rep for crap manuals.
Never anthropomorphise computers. They hate that.-
