One small question. Why doesnt the E60 lights (the xenon bulb) also turn while im turning, lighting up the corner path properly? other german cars have that. is that an option.I have xenon.

i used to have a lexus soarer and when you had lights on..and put your turn indicator on, a large (almost fog light) came on to light your way round the corner/turn

i liked that.

i have on my 530d (2004) non zeion headlights.

when i turn on my car at night, i see the beam rise up (to normal level), almost from pointing at the ground to level (if that makes sence)
why do they go down when the cars turned off? and whats this for?
i know the lights can be adjusted for height/load carried, but this happens every time the car is started and i turn lights on ?
i find it bazare.
Easy answer . . . . it's Tinkerbell and the light fairies who are to blame.

I have an 04 545 and my headlights turn when I turn the wheel...

One thing I have noticed though, this only works while in drive. In reverse, it does not do this.
