Turns out, the directions are in the user's manual! But, since I didn't look there, and to save others from having to look it up, here's how to do it (for a 2004 525i):

  1. Insert a screwdriver or key into the slot in the license plate bulb bracket and slide the bracket to the right until the left edge drops out of its latched position
  2. Then, with your fingers you should be able to slide the bracket to the left to release the right edge of the bracket
    • My license plate frame obstructed the right edge of the bracket a little, so I had to remove the left screw attaching it to the car, and screwed it back in after the bulb bracket was reinstalled
  3. With a slight wiggle, the bracket should drop all the way down, allowing you to easily get to the bulb and replace it
  4. Reverse the steps to replace the bracket
