Adaptive Headlights on new Convertible

BMW have loaned me a new 3 series with adaptive headlights before I add them to my convertible order.

I went out tonight to try these out on a country road which had many up and down undulating parts and found dark spots on the crest of up hill parts and bottoms on the dips it was not great at all. The lights would move down when I drove just over the top or bottom of these dips in the road. Has any other found this as I will not be adding this option.

They rock.

You can turn them off if you'd like.

Drive down a dark road fast and you'll be glad you've got them.

No way, I love them. If you want them to stay straight, just turn the headlights to "on" instead of "auto".

I love mine. When I get in my wife's Mazda at night, I very much miss my adaptive headlights.

You may all like them but have you not noticed the black spots like I did.

I find they're aimed a little low in general, but that's because it's too cold for me to stand out there adjusting them right now.

Multiple cars with them. Like many, would not buy a car without them any more. They are night and day superior (yup, pun intended) to fixed lights.
