Faulty Headlamps after just 24hrs :(

Well, After taking delivery of my car on Friday I quickly realised I had a problem with the headlamps.

The left one is pointing to the road (about 6" in for of the car) the right one is pointing at the sky!

Just had a call from the dealer - they tried to reprogramme the adaptive lighting module, which failed, they will now order a control module.... if that doesnt work they need to order headlamp units.

God forbit they would order everything it could be....

Better still, no loan car available.


I still love it though

The F10 is truly the ultimate driving machine with its only fault is its connections to humans and their erroneous ways.

Tough break man. Glad that bad experience did not sour you on the great car you have on your hands. Hope the problem is fixed completely and soon. Enjoy the car and good luck with the rest of the ownership experience....

They still have the car and cannot find the problem........ Strange, as BMW Germany have been involved.

Anyway, they gave me a 60 plate X5 (twin turbo) the day after, which softened the blow somewhat.


Keep you posted.....
