I searched and didn't find much detail. Adaptive headlights definately aren't working, which doesn't really bother me actually. The little green LED flashing at night is the annoying part. Anyone have a simple fix or is this a dealer only type thing that is going to be expensive. Thx for the help.

If its flashing, their is a adaptive headlights malfunction. Most likely a trip to the dealership. Last time this happend to my car, they replaced the LCM.

there is a green led light by the headlight switch that illuminates when the headlights are on, it flashes if there is something wrong, atleast that's the case w my 545i
the connectors under the hood behind the headlights? This fixed it?
what is an LCM? Replaced under warranty?
it flashes in both modes

My car came with adaptive headlamps. I swapped in some OEM euro clears w/o adaptive headlamp feature and my LCM (green light) started flashing as well, so I would say yes, it most likely is adaptive headlamp malfunction. Fortunately, in my case I know exactly why the light is flashing and it really doesn't bother me. Unless you've changed your headlights out to non-adaptives like I have, there's probably an issue that needs to be researched. Reflash perhaps?
