Adpative BiXenon tracking left/right question

E-XLVI · 11-25-2009, 09:33 AM

Not sure if I have an issue.. hoping someone with Adaptive BiXenon headlights can verify..

With the ignition on and sitting still in the garage, moving the steering wheel to the right, the headlights will track from center to the right on the wall. Moving back to center and steering the to left, the headlights do not track to the left.

Car is on
Headlights are turned to position 'A' (auto)

Thanks in advance for help from E46 coupes owners with adaptive headlights.

I have adaptive headlights. Your car is perfectly fine. If you are stationary it will only sweep to the curb side. The logic is not to blind on-comming drivers say you are stationary at a filter waiting to turn left with the steering turned. Once you start moving it will sweep both ways. This logic applies if you are reversing as well:will not sweep to drivers side.

Thanks. Makes complete sense if I gave it more thought ...and thanks for the reverse comment.. as I was backing out of the garage sweeping back-n-forth with no luck.

MysticBlau330Ci is absolutely correct - however, in reverse, your lights will center and stay there. They will not "sweep" either side.
