i have been waiting to know how to adjust the LEDs.

I had done the adjustment on all my HID cars before.

But since F3X LED uses all 4 headlights, do i have to adjust all 4 low beams individually? or just 1 adjustment on each side will adjust all 4?
The inner and outer chambers (2 per headlamp assembly) sit on a "chassis". The chassis is moved/adjusted for up/down vertical changes. The outer chamber is the only one that moves horizontally.

The alignments can be a bit odd depending on any coding has been done as this changes the beam pattern, the alignment reference point, Null Stop (Zero Point), and the the left/right electronic soft stop points.

Each vehicle has a standard vertical value in PERCENTAGE DOWN from the alignment reference point on the headlamp assembly and the height at the measurement distance is calculated using this. 10m can be the distance but BMW suggest 25m for LED vertical aiming to achieve optimal results with the exception of Selective Beam alignment which is best at 6m-9m.
