Adaptive Xenons

Just drove at night for the first time with the adaptive Xenons and they are amazing how they lead through a turn...extremely bright and white. My 43 year old eyes are starting to not work as well and this will be really helpful when driving at 95 across the curvy eastern Oregon landscape.

We got the adaptive xenons and I'm very curious to try them out once we get our CM. Good to know they work so well!

Hey guys! I was gonna start a thread on this. Can you guys confirm if your adaptive lights 'look' left when steering to the left? I discovered that mine didn't so the following day I stopped by my dealer to discover that 2 other cars in the lot didn't 'look' left as we turned left. So the adviser contacted BMW tech regarding this and said that it was normal.
Reason: Not to blind on coming traffic.
It does make sense but I could swear that my BMW e93s Xenons would look left. I just couldn't confirm because the car is in storage.
Thanks guys!

Adaptive xenons should turn as well. This video will show.

It does not look left if the car is still, but if you are driving it should look left but not as much as the right direction does, and as you mentioned it is designed to not blind the upcoming traffic. one other thing that I discovered is that if you put in reverse they stop working. what you are experiencing is normal.
