I hate when valets turn my light switch to off instead of leaving it to auto. wtf are they doing.

Or when they hit the auto start/stop button by accident instead of the engine off button.

I do agree that they are set lower then I prefer. At my 10k service I am going to have them adjust the up a bit.

Stealth shared the procedure with me and seems like a easy dyi but I would prefer the dealer takes care of this.

OMG, the LED's are so amazing compared to my E90 M3 Xenon's. I feel like all three lanes are lite up in front of me and I love the adaptive feature. Very cool.

the led's are nice, but i prefer the sharp cutoff edge of a porjector bulb.

the led is pure scatter

All of BMWs (E90 330i, E60 530i, E46 M3, E60 M5) have had Xenon until my F10 M5 which has LED.

My personal opinion is the LEDs do not light up the road as bright as my E60 M5 bi-xenons did father down the road. However the swiveling and pointing is better with the LEDs. They are still good, but the bi-xenons were brighter illumination at a medium distance and beyond. They both seem the same on the close part of the road.
