E63, E64 (6 Series) with option 524 (adaptive headlamps)
Vehicles produced from August 31, 2007 to August 31, 2008
SITUATION
Intermittently, the adaptive headlamp function is inoperative. The headlamps work normally; only the adaptive cornering feature where the headlamps rotate in association with the steering angle is affected. No faults are stored.
CAUSE
Incorrect coding in the Light Module (LM)
[NEW] CORRECTION
In the case of a customer complaint, code the vehicle with the most recent Progman version (target data status E060-08-09-515 or later). Refer to SI B09 05 01 (Coding, Individualization and Programming), Procedure E.
Note that Progman will automatically reprogram all programmable control modules that do not have the latest software.
This coding will deactivate the side to side reference run when the lights are switched on.
WARRANTY INFORMATION
Covered under the terms of the BMW New Vehicle Limited Warranty NEW or the Certified Pre-Owned program.
[NEW] In cases where Progman requires the replacement of control modules or additional programming because certain control modules failed to program correctly, print out the Measures Plan and Final Report as described in the Progman programming procedure (B09 05 01). Attach these reports to the RO in the vehicle file. This additional work should be claimed under the defect code listed in this bulletin, using the labor operation and labor allowance from the KSD.
