Crosspost from e63 lounge, seems to be more e60 guys on here 
Perhaps some of you had similar problems in your e60s...
The stupid green led indiacator keeps flashing on the knob where you turn the headlights on off from. (The one thats solid green usually) Nothing comming up in idrive...
turns out, my adaptive headlights arent working! (They do self auto adjust level, but not turning with the steering wheel!) I read somewhere, you need to have the lights set to auto for them to be in adaptive mode. Well i set it to auto, still a blinky led, and no adaptive headlights... Perhaps it will take some time? Is something else pooched?
Cheers

I took mine in to the dealership and they replaced it. They were able to duplicate the issues, so it is working fine now.
