I searched the forum already but I did not come up with a definitive answer. If there is already a topic on this sorry! Post the link if there is.
When I used Adaptive Head Light control I notice that one headlight (the passenger side) will turn with the wheels. The drivers side does not appear to move. Is this the correct functionality?
When I have read other posts and read that section in the manual, it would seem that both headlights are supposed to turn.
I am not getting any errors on the iDrive display and the green light next to the headlight control knob is solid green.

I notice this happens when my car is not moving.. I read before that the lights are programmend to only turn one way when the car is not moving not sure if this is what you mean.. Can you tell if both lights are moving when you are moving?

This is normal. They left light will only move if your going 5kph or faster. This is done so that while you turn out onto the street from your parking spot, it won't blind oncoming traffic. (I guess it's the other way around when you're driving on the wrong (read: left) side of the road )

Ah ha!
Ok. That makes sense. Would have been nice if that was documented in the manual!
I knew someone here would know the answer! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
