Usual problem is corrosion, as the front indicators aren't waterproof.
The corrosion is on cheap bulbs though, not the holder. the BMW bits are made of better stuff.
Only other likely problem is the connector behind the indicator, or possibly a broken wire to it. These connectors have to be refitted with one hand while carefully balancing the bumper with the other, when replacing it, and if you let the bumper fall, it's conceivable you could break a wire.
