The adaptive function works ok, it only turns to left (the passenger side) when the vehicle is not moving. I have below questions:
1. Does the bi-xenon only work when the car is moving?
2. Does the adaptive function turns right (the driver side) only when the car is moving?
3. Does the E53 X5 adaptive headlight has the function of range control base on the driving speed?
In Hong Kong, we adopt right hand drive only. Thanks for help!

Congrats!
IIRC its designed that way. Its meant to warn/flash someone. When you use the stalk to flash someone its just the halogens. The flasher is just that - a flasher not high-beam mode.
The Bi-xenons have a lid that covers it in low-beam mode. When you actually engage the high-beam mode the lid retracts - that is why its called bi-xenon.
If I'm not mistaken, the adaptive function uses the steering sensor to aim the light - so it should move even when the car is sitting still.
I don't believe the adaptive function is based on any speed variables other than the steering sensor.
