Does your driver's side headlight move?

I noticed this yesterday when playing with the headlights in the garage. It seems that my driver's side headlight doesn't move to the left at all, and barely moves to the right when the wheel is turned. The passenger side light moves considerably back and forth. Is this normal or do I need to pay the dealer a visit?

The left headlight doesn't move a lot compared to the right head light. It's designed that way so that you won't blind oncoming motorists when making a left turn.
Yeah, it was parked, just sitting in the garage. Like I said, the passenger side would move a considerable amount side to side but the driver's side barely budged. I kinda figured BMW may have designed the left light to move less due to approaching drivers.
