Hi,
I've noticed that few of members have had this same problem.
Problem was that this green led started blinking and xenon lights stopped turning.
So our local dealer changed left light unit because it seemed to be jammed... and they also changed some
other xenon lights units.
Okay the led is not blinkin anymore and the light is moving when they move it with the car tester.
BUT it still dont work as it use to be :-( When i start the car left light does it own movements and right its own.
They are not syncronized.. They were before.
Also when i drive left light in not moving only right side..
I've been at the workshop for four times now and they dont know whats wrong
Anyone with same problems and hopefully an solution

This feature is disabled when the car is at a standstill, isn?t it?
And I think it's normal for the nearside light to be slightly higher than the offside light - I'm sure I've seen a BMW drawing where this is the case, effectively giving you more illumination of the hedgerow/curb/etc.

They are indeed - well they'll turn to the nearside (passenger side) slightly, but not the other way.

The post that I read also said that. That is why you have to move the steering wheel all the way to the left to get the lights to be able to move, Sorry if I didn't make myself clear.
