My Ride: '04 545iS 6 spd, bought new via eBay, 11/05; Blk/Gry, Cold, L7, PDC, BMW Rear seatcover for pets.
First "Bumwa" was a new 1971 2002. High performance 5s since 1987. Beamer motorcycles too, currently on an 07 BMW K1200 GT; also a Moto Guzzi 1000 SP III.
Has anybody ever had their Auto headlights get confused after using their fogs? After using my fogs, my Auto function hasn't been working for 2 days (no LED either). This afternoon, I tested them and discovered that the green LED and the headlights lights would come on only when I engaged the Fog Lamp switch.
Manual headlights worked fine, but in my search, here, I discovered that Manual doesn't include the Marty Feldman Eyes routine, so I wanted to get them going again.
After reading the manual a couple of times I tried engaging Auto, with the key in position 2, but nothing. Then, just now, driving off with them in Auto position, I noticed that they were on, without the fogs. It seems as if they were confused, but have now set themselves right.
Further, while checking lighting settings in iDrive, I bumped delayed shutoff to 60 seconds, from 40. But, I still don't have that feature (never have had it). Is that something that is disengaged with Auto?
I think this car will drive me nutz before long.
