Somhow I feel mine is turning to the left more than to the right. And I wish it's little more sensitive.

My Ride: F11 520d white, auto, professional sat-nav with internet, variable damper control, sports steering wheel, extended lighting, retractable tow bar, wing mirrors with dimming & folding, full electric seats with memory & lumber adjustment, etc.
On my right hand drive UK car the adaptive head lights move stationary to the right & the left, however they move less to the right than the left as I would expect. I must say however that they really do work and are not a gimmick, all around where I live are country roads unlit at night and they have really proved themselves.

when you drive it turns, when you stop still but then you steer when stationary, when you just started the car of course not as normally hard to turn the wheels.

I'm having this exact same problem, only my headlights DO move while stationary....or it used to.
my headlights have always been able to move while stationary for some reason, but tonight while driving, I noticed that they did not adapt at all, even at 30 + mph turns.
While stationary I turned the wheel to the left, then the right, no response. Then I restarted the car and while stationary again, turned the wheel left/right. I got no response while turning to the left, but did while turning right. What is happening here?

That is strange...mine seem to move at slow speeds no problem. I was just checking them out last night and they seemed to move both directions just fine. IIRC, they are programed to move one way more than the other (depending on your country) so as to not blind oncoming drivers. The self leveling works just fine as well! I started the car last night in the driveway and the lights went up a bit and a bit left and right then settled in the correct position.
