headlights, adaptive feature?
I know they are bi-xenon, auto leveling, but do our E55s have adaptive headlight function?
If so, is it pretty obvious? It was pretty obvious in my past cars (bmws) but I havent been able to notice if my car has it, and now its parked for awhile so cant really check properly haha...

They turn a bit into the curve but I think that's it

^^ What he said. The inner light as your turn is more noticeable. I notice mine more when going through parking decks as i turn left, the left headlamp turns left too. too. Not sure if they function at highway speeds though. Try drawing an "s" while coming to a stop from say 15mph and you'll see them bounce around

I've noticed it at high speeds on curvy roads as well. It helps A LOT. I got into a car without this feature and it felt awkward going fast in the curves at night.

How can I check if my car has the option
Reason I am wondering all this is because I found a set of xenon, auto leveling facelift headlights for cheap! But they do not have the adaptive function.... Would I get an error if I used them, hence I want to confirm if my car has it or not...
thanks
