No, it isn't. My 3 series did that too and it was not even self leveling like the xeons. It is the mechanism to adjust the lights level that can be manual or self leveling (usually standard for xeon lights).
Adaptatives turn left or right according to your wheel movement and car speed. Very nice features for mountain roads!
See you!

Yes, I was in the Blue Ridge Mountains over Thanksgiving weekend and REALLY liked the fact that the lights followed the curve to the right going around those corners. It was very noticable and helpful.
