Wow, you should take it in. I have 12 and not experienced this issue before. I have noticed that when I get into a well lit area my lights do not go off as quickly in Icemans's but that could just be my settings.

Quite likely! So many things return to default after a software upgrade -- radio presets, nav address book, etc.
You'd think they'd be able to backup/restore those types of things before clobbering them with the upgrade...

My Ride: 2008 535i: June 6th start build, complete June 17th, at NY Port July 5th, at dealer July 10th, took delivery Friday July 13- Plantimum Bronze/Natural Brown Leather/Light Poplar, Sport Package, Sport Auto, Active Steering, Premium Package, CWP & PDC.

Where I live its very hilly and trees canopy many of the roads, so there is alot of shade, then sun, then shade etc. The lights cycle quickly between on and off, enough so that some drivers in front of me think I am flashing my lights at them.

To those of us who have set the auto headlights sensitivity to 'VERY SENSITIVE' :
After the setting, the headlights now turn off under bright, direct sunlight (it does not, previously in 'Normal' setting). However it does NOT turn off even in bright, cloudy noonday. Unless there is direct sunlight on the sensors, it will remain on.
So, its not practical since the auto headlights will only turn off between 11am to 2pm when there is bright direct sunlight. Do you think there's a problem with the sensors ? How do yours function ?

And the other was.... Now ... when you turn off the car and restart the car immediately, the acceptance screen does not come on anymore and goes straight to menu screen.
