97 Z3 - Even after replacing the bulbs, the driver's side parking light and the side marker light are non-functioning, but they work as turn signals. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Sounds like a fuse problem.

id imagine that if it was a fuse there wouldnt be any life so my thoughts would go to the relay, have a look under the hood at your diagram on the fuse box and try figure it out, you may need to go to the net either, diagrams for fuses and relays are available
Since the bulbs do work, I doubt it's a fuse. And since they are such low wattage, I doubt they have relays. I think the problem might be in the switching. Since the turn signals work OK, perhaps the head light switch is the problem, as its first position turns on the parking and marker lights.
