Another condensation victim

I woke up to the condensation problem in both headlights last Thursday, contacted dealer from which I purchased the car from to book in for inspection to be told, they will need the car for all day and as I need a courtesy car it will be the middle of January before this can be done. Questioned time scale and they now have an appointment for next week, with a car. I have sent photos via email but they still need to see the car in person. If this is a known issue why are they not replacing them when it occurs as the above course of action is very frustrating.

I had the O/S replaced last year in May and the same unit failed again once the UK weather turned a couple of months ago. I had it replaced again a couple of weeks ago. Both times under warranty and never any challenges getting it authorised.

Anyone got some issues with dealers refusing or so.
Im fighting my dealer. Was booked for the 30th of oct to check up because i had condensation in both headlights. Now on the 18th i brought my car in to change the headlights. Even got confirmation they ordered both lights via mail. I get a call yesterday that bmw germany declined my warranty case. I was suprised, i complained to my dealer this is not what i expect. I already filed a complaint with bmw belgium and there Financial department. They said they will check up on it.
