E60 head lights - is the inner circle headlights suppose to light up??

[XXX]

No problem Jarance and I think it's ok, I wasn't expecting kids to be part of this forum but glad I know now before it's too late that's why kids especially those spoilt ones (mummy's boy) is a bit difficult to handle. From now on I'll just ignore any posts made by these two.

I'm very sure seeing the inner light coming up but only once when my car is stationary but bro Aidil has given some good information earlier.

Eh! enough of your sarcasm!

Hi folks, I'm wondering if the inner circle head lights is suppose to light up during normal night driving? I can't seem to get it turned on at all or mine is just broken? Please see the photo (arrow in red)

Pls reflect on your first post, and tell me , What was ur question? To me according to the picture and what u ask, was basically how come those lights dont work during normal night driving...my answer to u, was, thats because its the High Beam and it shouldnt be on during normal night driving...Was there any mention if it was an LCI? if based on that, I answered you correctly but you twist and turn and now Im the fool and a spoil brat. My Friend, Ive been watching you, in all your postings you tend to step on peoples toes. You want respect? you have to earn it...be humble and stop acting like a mummies boy!

No worries, I understand Maybe I don't know him well enough yet, haha.

This kind of misunderstanding happens in most forum once in a while. At the end of the day, there're no winner. So chill it out guys.. I'm just a newbie less than 1 day old, so pls don't kill me if I said it wrongly.. Hehe.. Cheers!!

Yup boss, I'm chilled and still rocking Small issue but the 2 kids are yet to give up, lol

Yes, it never fail to amaze me......from "headlights to kids". Without the voice infliction, a simple word in writing maybe misinterpreted and sounded as rude or otherwise. Pussy rightly pointed that out above.

Ok sir, point noted

From my humble opinion. All of us should be precise from the first post itself. Not only to clarify only on the 19th post or even 2nd. It should be from the start to avoid misrepresentation of fact and even further discrepancies in the future.

Secondly, we should understand that english are rich in analogies, similes, metaphor and etc. We should not just confine ourselves to kindergaten level english, see what has happened here; When a simple analogy was not fully understand...

Thirdly, let us all grow up. Stop the name calling nonsense and the "he started it first". As those are clear cut evidence of 'brain cell development deficiencies' (Note that i'm using an analogy here, by no means uttered to spark conflict)

Lastly, lets be friends. And take other peoples opinion and guides constructively. After all it's a discussion thread. Cheers everybody.

p/s: please lah, read properly every time... don't get angry for misreading. it's just shameful.



p/s/s: hope your predicament will be answered.

Thanks Iylia and I posted this in another BMW forum and someone answered within hours with a good explanation. It's just some turning/assist lights in the E60 LCI that has adaptive Xenons. I do appreciate everyone's input but all these "problematic" answers and posts only happens to Malaysian forums. I seldom see it elsewhere Something all of us can try to improve on. Cheers!

Pleased to hear the your predicament has be answered. But I think we should not be stigmatizing.

 

[rpmnut]

Are you sure yours can turn on? Mine really can't and only the ring lights up but not the bulb inside, lol

The 5 series is equipped with bi-xenon headlamps, so the main xenon lamp (the outer light unit) performs both dipped and high beam functions.
The inner light (the one you can't see turn on) is used for "flash-to-pass" function only as the xenon units don't start up fast enough to function in this manner.

To test if your inner light works as intended, try this:

ignition on (no need to start) >> turn head light switch to "off" >> pull the indicator stalk towards you to activate flash-to-pass function.

If your bulbs are ok, you'll see them light up..

Hope this helps!

The thing is, you have the official member tag and this would certainly reflect the forum when you say silly things your actions doesnt encourage more people to join as an official member as well. You're now posting in a BMW forum so RM 300 is nothing I wouldn't want to pay RM 300 and get answers from members like you. I rather pay RM 600 to my mechanic and make sure he attends to all my questions.

If you don't welcome new members just close the new registration. This forum is quiet and close to dead and people that put comments like you only made it worse

Have u ever counted how many OM you have offended since you partake in this forum? I suggest you get a friend to review your answers/statements in your replies and ask him/her whether you are rude, sarcastic, arrogant, snobbish or not. Btw, with your type of altitude, I don't think I will welcome you as an official member. And I suggest you pay RM600.00 to ask your mechanics whatever questions you like, and can also call him stupid or whatever you like. BUT BE WARNED NONE of the members here are obligated to you in anyway whatsoever to give you the liberty to call us stupid. Yes, we carried the OM insignia and we are proud of it.

Thanks bro, I'll give it a try. What you mean flash-to-pass? Is it the indicator lights?

BUT BE WARNED NONE of the members here are obligated to you in anyway whatsoever to give you the liberty to call us stupid. Yes, we carried the OM insignia and we are proud of it.

If I really count, it'll probably be 5 or lesser and these are the few OM which in my opinion are quite egoistic and unable to accept other people's opinion. That said, I honestly think the problem does not lie on myself because I am a member of many forums and have been participating for many years but never have I came across people of such personality like these specific OM here. Not only these OM are not able to accept other's opinion, they rather prefer to discuss certain topic among themselves and when newer members puts up a point against what they feel is right, they accuse people for being rude and offensive. I've mentioned many times, the kid started calling names so I just retaliated with some nice English words That's all.

Of course I do not expect all my queries to be answered. If you see my nick, I am registered since 2007 and the rate this forum is going is extremely slow. The OM are the same faces most of the time but probably with addition of a few every now and then. I only remember going against your opinion in some previous topic but never was I being rude to you and now you're saying I'm offensive. I do not wish to dwell more but it's up for yourself to decide what's right. If you think behaving this way would attract more members then go ahead. Also to be honest, I find that only a handful of OM are friendly. The rest are spamming unnecessarily just like an IRC chatroom in topics, very weak replies and not helpful. However many non-OM members are very helpful and nice people. Of course by saying this, I might be deemed "rude" and "offensive" again.

I guess you just don't get the point that you guys have formed your own small community by knowing each other for ages and just don't welcome others to join. If such simple comments and disagreement to what you plus the few OM are deemed rude and offensive, I think you guys are over sensitive.

 

[ay39]

At least you are aware how many people you have offended.Like i say, print out all your replies and trace the source of sarcasm or downright rude remarks in your replies and you'll know what I mean. Btw, this a a motoring social forum, ask a question and you get a reply, sometimes ridiculous reply of which I also accept gracefully and say thank you for that ridiculous reply. That's courtesy. You think that the people in this forum are all professional mechanics or BMW SA who are paid by you to give you a definite answer. Even if you visit your own workshop, they still have to meddle you car to find out the root of the problem. Perhaps an overseas forum suit you more, probably because their level of English is higher than us, they understand you better. Ours is just SPM level.

 

[haywire]

Its the name calling that heats the discussion up bro, when people are called 'hounds' they tend to be offended, no?

We can see a list of the words that came out, stupid, immature, kid, stupidity, screaming like a drunk hound, do you think people will not be offended by these words? For me even the ones reading the post, not the ones the words are directed to are offended.

Its not how long people have been in here, I myself has just joined the forum in 2009 and I dont feel that its a closed community. I was welcomed and still feel welcomed and made lots of friends here. I felt welcomed to the point that I joined as OM even before I returned to Malaysia.

You have been in the forum since 2007, and still feel you cant fit in, have you ever pondered that the problem MIGHT lie with you, not others as you keep pointing out?

Thanks bro, I'll give it a try. What you mean flash-to-pass? Is it the indicator lights?

Flash-to-pass = flashing your high beam.

To flash your high beam, pull the indicator stalk towards your steering. Once you release it, it'll return to normal position and the high beam is off. That's why it's called "Flash". The term flash-to-pass can be interpreted as when you're giving way to the oncoming traffic to turn in, you flash your high beam to indicate them to pass. Back home in Msia, most helpful motorists do that on the NSE to warn the opposite direction traffic that there's a road block ahead....:10:

Please correct me if I'm wrong..

 

[t2ribena]

those name calling for him is opinion not insult...hahaha...

guys its evident that his ability to understand what is posted is limited thus the need for us to response extensively is a wasted effort..

 

[Eggie86]

+1, either that, or an accident occurred and they're warning you to slow down.

That's a good way to test, thank you bro It's really helpful!

No one can help if the person is stupid to see a photo of a cow and still think it's a cat especially when clear descriptions have been given Well, you're not much of a help from the start anyway.

To be honest, your behavior is quite disappointing (worse still since you're an official member). I wonder how old are you? Your posts are quite immature from the start I think the point of this forum is to share knowledge and help each other. Of course you have the choice not to help but continuously posting like a kid is just a real shame.

Someone might have posted the link but it's for F10 and not E60. If you want to talk about stupidity, no one can beat you because we're all discussing about LCI inner lights for E60 and you're screaming like a drunk hound talking about an pre-LCI E60 headlights.

The thing is, you have the official member tag and this would certainly reflect the forum when you say silly things your actions doesnt encourage more people to join as an official member as well. You're now posting in a BMW forum so RM 300 is nothing I wouldn't want to pay RM 300 and get answers from members like you.

That's your personal interpretation/opinion, I will respect that



I know most of you might know each other well but sometimes new members giving opinion shouldn't be regarded as arrogant. I'm not saying what you guys are commenting is wrong but different people has different opinions. Perhaps I was a little harsh and if I did, I do apologize but having an official member screaming like a hound doesn't help. If all old/senior/official members behave this way, that's when you see the forum size/member never grows and even if it does, the rate would be terribly slow.

I think instead of feeling unhappy when new members give opinions or correct seniors, why not everyone take it easy and respect each other's comments? No hard feelings. I'm not sure which part that I said makes me LCLY? LOL! I thought I just gave my personal opinion on certain things, that's all. This is certainly one weird forum (and it's members).

I think you have to read again? If he can call others stupid (which is what he started) and get away, does it mean I can't reply something back which I think is equally just as bad? I think you guys just like to form your own small community and discourage new members Oh well, he's your friend anyways.

t2ribena, he edited most of his posts. There's no point for me to blame blantantly I'm not a kid like him

No problem Jarance and I think it's ok, I wasn't expecting kids to be part of this forum but glad I know now before it's too late that's why kids especially those spoilt ones (mummy's boy) is a bit difficult to handle. From now on I'll just ignore any posts made by these two.
