those star type allen keys (name?), not the normal ones.
My xenons were set high, and a lot of the time on the road when a cars lights is bothering you its a BMW with high xenons. Ive concidered walking around at night and offer to 'fix' any BMW I come across for free :fencelook:

Maybe the best. (but I dont know if they have the equipment to help you. it wont be night time)
I saw last night that my dims are good and my brights also to high. So it will be interesting to see if BMW can sort you out. Please remember to give some feedback afterwords?:thumbs:

There you go, did mine myself. Huge improvement.
It's quite hard to see a difference while adjusting slightly but mine were extremely low to begin with.
Get it as high as possible without blinding cars.
If you have xenons with a clean cutoff you can see the line of where the light stops.
That line should be below oncoming traffic's windscreen
For cars in front of you, keep it below the top of the boot (& side mirrors).
Halogens allow you to slightly adjust height from inside the car as well (not sure if xenons can do this, think they have auto adjustment?)
Useful for when you're driving in a dark area & you don't want to use your brights but you need to see further ahead.
If some of my advice is a bit off, feel free to rip me apart :flyfun:
