I suppose for starters you could set the light control to manual ... activate your high beams and then walk to the front of your car to see if the bulb is on.

No, it won't come on on that side only the right one comes on.

Well, I'd start by removing and testing the suspected bulb ... don't know if you have halogen or adaptive xenon. High beam arrangement is different with each.

Bimmer28 meet Luigi524td

I think the obvious answer here is check your connections and if its not loose then its probably a bad bulb...
