One other point - yes a tail light is important but it's not THAT important. You could probably get someone to do a perfectly fine wire repair and not replace all the wiring harness. It wouldn't be the BMW-approved super expensive option, but it should get the job done.
It's not like an airbag where if the thing fails you could die. It's a light bulb.
