Re: Xenon self leveling problem.
Going to make a few phone calls tomorrow and see what quotes i get for the parts.Real oem comes in at roughly £50 each so a bit of a difference.No i didnt get the old parts back.Where did you get the £94.50 from,i tried searching for this part on the internet and couldnt find it.Do you think they have marked the price down to save them going to the warranty company for a small amount?.I was told that they would be charging £60 +vat to diagnose the fault but this does not appear on my invoice which would have made the bill a bit over my excess.

Re: Xenon self leveling problem.
The saga continues .Washed and dried the car this afternoon and when putiing it back in the garage thought i would just check the lights.Drivers side ok passenger side not cycling at all.Car now back at the dealers for a fourth visit.
I really wonder how hard can it be to fix things nowadays?.
I still have my nice face on but i am starting to lose a bit of patience and may have to break out the angry head directly.

Re: Xenon self leveling problem.
sounds like a sensor and they have chosen to replace motors as these will meet/exceed your excess amount,
Now they change the sensor and all will be fine, They probably knew all the time.

Re: Xenon self leveling problem.
think I have a related issue - related in that my self levelers do move on both side - but dont seam right...
my lights are definitly shining too high and this is a recent thing
when i turn the lights of and on the cycle is UP then DOWN and then the motors like stumble like they are trying to move more but they are jammed.
exactly the same each and every time i have done it
ive booked it into the stealers for thursday to get looked at under warranty but wanted to check on here first to ensure BMW investigate the right issue and dont try and fob me off...
any thought on my related issue?

Re: Xenon self leveling problem.
OK - so after leaving the car overnight and driving again this mornig the problem is still there. My lights cycle up and down and then seam to want to move more but sound like they are jammed.
100% shining too high as lots of drivers were dipping their rear view mirror this morning and when i put my high beam on its hardly noticable....
any thought before i let the dealers loose?

Yea and its going in on thursday. I just like to get my story stright before going in as experience proves to me that if/when BMW cannot isolate the issue, they may come back and say its not a warranty issue or try and say its somethings else. In the end I generally prove them wrong, but i dont like the time wasting involved.......
the collective wisdom on this forum has helped me many a time!

Re: Xenon self leveling problem.
Dont have ANY faith in the local dealer but the only alternative is a 60 mile round trip and makes me wonder if they would be any better.I have the BMW insured warranty so they can jog on and get it fixed and will keep taking the car back till they do.Makes you kind of worried if you went in with something major wrong doesnt it. .Good luck for Thursday.
Couldnt agree more about the helpfullness of the forum imho it is second to none

Xenon self leveling problem.
Folks,
Stupid question...probably but is there only one levelling sensor on the z4 ? My sensor arm has snapped and i can only find one on the offside front ?

yes, pretty sure last time I looked underneath mine when it was up on a ramp that there is only one levelling sensor on the Z4 underneath the offside front
