Go Back and check where you were changing the reversing lights.The contacts on the BMW 3 series back lights are really fussy.Double check the brake light bulbs are in tight.If need be undo and screw them back in a couple of times. As you've disturbed the area, theres lose conact or earth, so the brake lights suddenly don't work.I've had exactly the same frustration previously.Its in the area where you worked on the reversing lights.Make sure all conacts are clean and shiny on every part of the brake light connection and you'll get there.Its called the joy of owning a BMW, or the frustation!.
