Nothing yet bro, I have to take the car in, on monday (2days) see what they say... It might be simple as resetting the adapative lights, or complex as replacing motors, headlights etc...
i had the same problem a few months ago, they replaced the whole headlight assembly when i was still under warranty, now that im out of warranty the same passenger side that was recently replaced isnt working again. luckily i hear there is a 2 year replacement warranty on parts that bmw replaced so i should be able to have them fix it again for free.

could it be that there is a seperate motor that doesnt come with the headlight assembly but is plugged into it? maybe that is still defective since they only replaced the headlight?

anyway, let us know how it goes on monday...

Finally, 4 days later, after installing new set of headlights, reinstalling the olds ones again, they determined it to be a faulty ALC module... New software update as well, everything works good
