Hi everyone!
The automatic headlight with my car(520i) sometime working quite sensitive with the environment,ie shut down or turn on at the right time.However, sometime it just on ALL the time,even at noon in a sunny day,it's still on.So I've to turn the light off manually( I waited for 5 mins want it would shut itself but it didn't)
Does anyone have the same experience as me?

There is a sensitivity setting you might need adjustment. I would have it looked at by your dealer.

Welcom aboard!

Mine is exactly the same in my Bee Em Trouble-U. It's nothing compare to automatic headlights of my Toyota Solara
Nice stuff but does not work well. IMHO.
The only thing in BMW that most other cars cannot beat is handling department.

Nah, not worth it. Let's BMW figure it out by themselves and they'll fix it next year when I buy a new one .
