Left-hand/right-hand traffic

Halogen headlights

Measures to prevent the headlights from daz‐
zling oncoming traffic are necessary if you take
the vehicle into countries in which the opposite
rule of the road applies. Your Service centre can
provide the appropriate light benders that can
be affixed to the headlight lenses. Proceed in
accordance with the enclosed instructions
when affixing the light benders to the headlights.

Xenon headlights*

Measures to prevent the headlights from daz‐
zling oncoming traffic are necessary if you take
the vehicle into countries in which the opposite
rule of the road applies. BMW recommends that
the work be performed by the Service centre if
you are not familiar with the procedure. Once
they have been adjusted the headlights will not
dazzle oncoming vehicles when you drive on the
normal side of the road, so you can have the ad‐
justments carried out, for example, before en‐
tering the country in which the opposite rule of
the road applies.
