E70 ride height warning

i think they all do that headlamp sweep now on startup reguardless ( I could be wrong !) You have whats called in classic circles a "unicorn car" a one of one ever produced in total poverty spec :rofl:
They are all the same now, all have major faults, saw one advertised today with a months mot left , 4x4 busted just needs a 25 quid stepper motor apparently for the transfer case :rofl: Might do might not but I wouldn't bet money on it being that easy and if it was why not fix it ?

Ah, the infamous Unicorn strikes again :lol:

If all E70 have self levelling headlights then its less of a Unicorn, but why the dashboard wheel to adjust them, or perhaps i am missing something, like knowledge? :D

I am guessing its just homing on startup to check the motor is ok , all cars before xenon had the little wheel to adjust up or down which is no longer allowed with xenons due to how dazzling they can be :D My 330d had headlamp wash too but no xenons but I added genuine xenon headlamp units when i got it but not the self levelling plumbing as that would be a pain to do and involve coding etc to work ie big costs :D All they cared about at mot was it had headlamp wash .
