How easy are the bulbs to change over if your 'not much of a hands-on/pratcical' person?

These are all standard wattage bulbs, not LED's or High wattage bulbs so no errors. Exactly the same load as the standard bulbs so no difference to the standard bulbs as far as the cars ecu is concerned.
If you have small hands it's easy, if you have big sausage fingers you will struggle.
The hand book and instructions on the idrive have very good pictures for bulb changing so look at those first
The high beam, drl and side light you get at by removing a circular cover under the bonnet on the top of each light assembly.
The drl is a push in two tabs and pull out then the cartridge bulb is just a push fit.
The high beam is underneath that and is a twist and pull to get the housing out then a standard H7 push fit to change the bulb.
The side light is just a pull out to remove the housing and a baynet cap push and turn bulb.
For dipped beam and turn indicator you need the front wheels on full lock to get to the removable flap in the wheel arch.
Pull down the two top tabs in the flap and remove the flap. the tabs are very stiff.
You will then see another circular cover to remove. (A torch may help)
Now you can see both bulb holders and both are a turn and remove fitting.
The dip beam is standard H7 so is a push fit. The indicator bulb is a baynet bulb so a push, twist release.
It all sounds a bit hard but the pictures in the handbook really help.
