Has anyone had an issue with their adaptive headlights? I just went over my 50k warranty and i get an error message and the will not turn with my steering wheel.

Has anyone dealt with this and if so, what was the fix? How much?

I feel you pain....well somewhat.... I had issues with my adaptive headlights twice in the year I had my car but it was covered under the 50K warranty! LUCKLY!! I was told to fix it out of pocket cost just around $1,600!! now they could have been just trying to make me see the value of the warranty to make me renew because im at 40K now and gave me a crazy price.... or that could really be the price... They kept my car for almost 2 weeks waiting on the part they needed to fix it (had a loaner ofcorse) but good luck in getting yours fixed...

If you're recently out of factory warranty your Dealer Service Manager could request BMWNA assistance - this might be handled by one of those "secret warranty claims".

I had this issue... $1600 is right on... I made mine part of another claim through insurance. Just make sure the light isnt stuck facing oncoming traffic because these lights are bright!!! If its not, then I would say let it ride until you have the money or feel like fixing it. And dont look at the blinking green LED - it will drive you crazy!!!!

Is there a way to have that error message removed?!?!? Because it annoys me to see "Adapttive headlights malfunction" and not be able to see the time and everything else. That's just me tho

I didnt have an error message... just the blinking green LED by the switch. Although a code came up on the reader...
