Its an adaptive headlight malfunction - see page 109 of the 5 series manual.

you have to have it serviced by the dealer.

Ok what if the green light isn't on at all but the adaptive headlights still work, what does it mean?

Only that you don't have your headlights set to Automatic, or you do and its light outside and they don't need to be on, and thus aren't. I think. I'm just reading the manual to help the OP out. Haven't had this issue myself.

Hmm, possible, but it never comes on anymore after the dealer updated the computer. I do have them set to auto, haven't manually turned on headlights in like 14 years. But I never see the light come on anymore, used to be green when in auto mode.
