Description of the problem	I am the original owner of a 1999 bmw 323i, purchased new and which today has a little more than 72,000 miles on it. 1. No specific event(s) other than normal driving conditions seem to lead up to the failure; 2. The failure is that the right rear tail light bulb repeatedly burns out, requiring replacement, a failure that has occurred at least twice each year over the last 11 years. The consequences are that i have been received warnings and/or citations, some costly, when i have been unable to have the bulb immediately replaced. Other consequences of a financial nature include paying much more than i should have over the years to repeatedly have the bulb replaced. In addition, i have actually purchased this specific type of bulb, which i keep in my car in the event a repair shop doesn't have one on hand; and, 3. What was done to, temporarily (since, for the past 3 days, the bulb is burned out again), correct the failure: the tail light bulb has been replaced countless times over the years, at least twice a year, by different mechanics including those at the bmw dealership. I would like to add that in the last 11 years, not one of the other bulbs has ever needed to be replaced, and that where asked for "approximate incident date", i am listing this year's date rather than the first year i owned the car since this is the time of the report.
