Hey E61 Fans here's a quick tip: My Adaptive headlights stopped working and I couldn't figure out why. It wasn't until I replaced my bushings that I noticed the level sensor was broken. This is located on the Passenger Side Thrust Arm. Check it out:

The arm that connects the level sensor to the suspension broke.

Here's the new piece. SUPER easy to replace. Just two nuts and done!

Hope this helps!

Very interesting find

Wonder how many headlights were replaced before this failure was noted
