Those germans over engineer everything, almost

are you sure they arent just pushfasteners, did you try a little screwdriver pry up or pin removal tool.......its only a plastic door, remove the screws you can and you should be able to pry up a corner with something to get it open and snap it back in........bumper removal is a pita for a bulb
ive replaced bulbs in all my cars, its always tricky the first time but only because it was the first

Just trying to help
The video shows a halogen bulb being extracted so the car either has Halogen headlights or the person is just removing the cornering light bulb if he has adaptive xenons. In ISTA, BMW state you need to remove the headlight to replace the HID bulb.
