I have humidity in both my headlights, they both look the
same as the one I took a picture of an hour ago.
I remember that someelse also had this problem.
Did anyone get them fixed/repaired by the dealer?

My Ride: '04 545iS 6 spd, bought new via eBay, 11/05; Blk/Gry, Cold, L7, PDC, BMW Rear seatcover for pets.
First "Bumwa" was a new 1971 2002. High performance 5s since 1987. Beamer motorcycles too, currently on an 07 BMW K1200 GT; also a Moto Guzzi 1000 SP III.
I had condensation inside my taillights when I took delivery; the dealer said it was no big deal, which I agreed with, but was surprised to see it. I wouldn't worry about it unless it starts to pond in there, then you'll need it drained...preferably before mosquito breeding season.

We've been to the dealer several times due to the headlight condensation problem, and each time they've changed the headlights under warranty, so shouldn't be a problem 
There is one 'but', though, as there has to be a small "pond" of water before they can be changed.

Had the same problem. Both headlights changed under warranty and condensation is gone.
You should refer to your dealer if your E60 is still under warranty.
Good luck

that seems like a lot of condensation...
it happens on our MB, but only when the car is washed or when its raining...to help speed up the evaporation, i would leave the car in the sun, and switch on the head lights...the heat will help remove it...but ur in finland, i think that it is cold there and would be more dificult...but try it..start the car and switch the headlights on...or keep them on all day maybe it will go alone...
