xenon lights prob on M3

[InvIs Inc]

Hey guys my xenons are pointing 2 the floor for the second time but first time i had this prob it was the control arm that came loose and it was sorted straight away.. now i have same prob but for diff reason only the dealer cant find that reason [hmm they looked at it few weeks ago and told me it was cause i had a nail in 1 of my rear tyres got that sorted but still same prob so cant be auto levelers... any ideas guys?

can only see about a car length infront of me when i leave the city :(

mate if your car is still cover by the warranty get the dealer to get you a new unit, all modern BMW lights have auto leveling function (moves up and down when you start the car). Do the headlights still move up and down then you turn the ignition?

HI Invis

there is a similar level control device fitted to the rear axle , same side , worth checking that one too

good luck

yeah it still has waranty and i have it rebooked for 09 jan but i dont want them doing what they done last time they said they checked the mechanics and the lights and they said all was fine :mad: and it still does the auto leveling which is rreeealy wierd u can still see it ajust if im sitting at traffic lights on a hill then start 2 move over it they reajust :confused:

so i should ask them 2 look at the rear auto leveler?

cheers guys

ask them to take a test drive in the dark shouldn't be too hard to spot the problem as it gets dark now after 3:30 nowadays. If all fails demand a complete new headlights replacement mate

oh don't forget to ask for a loan car :D

good luck

My dads seven does that ! ! ! i swear the lights when you start them swivel a full 360 round ! looks awesome from outside !

i also think my E46 M3 does that, im not sure though [read

maybe your dads 7 has daynamic xenon which doesn't just self level , but also turn the lights while taking a bend to light the bend :)

lmao uh huh

the anoying thing is now all the orange street lamps up here have been replaced by super bright white ones so now u can barely see ur on headlamps on the street so really gunna be hard proving this... on the up side should get some cool night shots when i get my new cam :)

Should be able to park it a couple of yards in front of a wall at the dealer and see whether the lights are pointing down or not Cris. I had this happen to mine last September when the dealer screwed them up doing an Insp1 and had to drive round for a week like it before they could get me back in to fix it. I know how you feel driving around, it's not funny when you can't see squat in front of you and you end up praying for a car to come up behind you so you can use their lights instead.. Good luck sorting it buddy.
