Also, invest in a good scanner(Foxwell). Not sure if you do your own work or not, but having a scanner will save your butt and to provide as much information when you come here for help. Everyone will ask what codes are popping and it will help diagnose various issues.

This is my 4th BMW. The battery is strong and the alternator is charging fine.
The lights are super bright and it cranks over fast.
I have a Foxwell scanner but the only codes I got were for the air injection system.
The lights only go off so far when set to automatic. I can then flip the switch to ON and they stay on fine.
Does a GM3 module control the automatic lights, remote door locking and hazard flashers?
