Description of the problem	On my 2006 bmw z4 3. 0i, while replacing a blown headlight bulb i discovered that the insulation on the low beam headlight wiring was crumbling off and in parts had bare copper wire showing. As this is the main headlight wiring and both the + and - wires were showing bare copper a short circuit and or fire could be possible. This wiring is within the headlight housing it's self. Upon doing research online i am not the only person affected. I reported this issue to my local bmw dealer who said there were no recalls at this time and i could call bmw na. I called bmw na who repeated that there was no recall and said they would make a note of it but offered no other help. *js
