Tips von der BMW Club (GB) Forum. Ich weiss nicht ob die gut sind, da ich VFL fahre, und muss nur die Scheinwerfern ein und aus schalten !
“You don't need to go through all that.
Just take off the front grill around the headlamp / unclip the ball joint on the lower adjuster / unscrew the adjuster about 3 turns and re-fit.
Now you can adjust the height with the ring on the outside of the adjuster under the bonnet.”
“Just to agree that the system is Hydraulic and not vacuum. There are 2 metal pins, one at the Hydraulic rod adjuster at the side of the headlight and one at each one of the the small pumps in the car at the hand adjuster, where the tubing enters. These were used to bleed the system at factory. This uses coloured water, I use a very weak soap solution, and can be re-pressurised (doesn't need much) by removing the pins and filling the system back up. Bit tricky but with another pair of hands, patience and a squeezy washing up liquid bottle, or pump, and a pipe clamp you can get some if not all the function back. May have a leak in the pipework though which could be a bit tricky to track down, if so, you can replace it all. If the seals in the pump in the car or rod adjuster at the light are leaking/broken, then replace them. Depends on how much you want the tilt back.”
