Damn auto lights
If I start my car is a dark place with the lights set to auto, the lights come on. When I come out into the sunshine, the lights stay on. My E60 had this infuriating "feature" too. I've got several other brands with auto lights, but they all turn the lights off when I hit daylight - as you would expect. I recall getting a load of technical BS from the dealer (but no fix) when I complained about the problem on the E60 - I'm not looking forward to raising the issue again.
Anyone have any ideas? |

Not really a solution, but you might want to keep the lights off when starting if you'll be driving immediately out into daylight. It's not good to fire xenons and then turn them right back off. In fact maybe that's why they don't turn back off right away in your scenario?

Yes I believe this is intentional. They will turn off eventually, but there is a timer to prevent them from toggling on/off too quickly.

Hi, is it the full headlights that remain on in daylight, or just the "rings"? If it is the latter it sounds like you have "Daylight" lights switched to on.
To check...press Menu, scroll down and press Settings, scroll down to Lights and check if the Daylight option is ticked....sorry if I'm pointing out the bl**dy obvious but that's all I can think of.
