This morning I start the car in my garage then notice the green LED next to the light switch is flashing. I have the lights setup on auto mode. I switched the lights manually and the LED was still flashing. I stop by a local shop when I came back and started the car the light went back to sold green. Any idea was the light was flashing?

Is that normal to happen and then go away?

Adaptive headlight brain f_rt!

If you're covered under any warranty get it checked out - it certainly will return again!

Do you know if this would be covered under the certified series warranty?

If this is an Adaptive headlight problem, shouldn't the iDrive report an error message?

Maybe not ... and to see if the adaptive headlamp is covered check your CPO paperwork (most electronics are not covered).
