Tried this last night (non laser headlights, auto setting on) and I don't see any additional curb lights illuminating when turning. One of our VW's has this feature and it works nicely. Hopefully they are actually part of the assembly for the X5 and just a software fix.

I watched carefully coming home today in the dark and didnt see any light shining to the side like the audi q7 does turning corners but when parked in front of the gate at the driveway which is white i could see the headlights clearly and they moved with the steering wheel left and right. Perhaps this is what they are referring to

My VW Jetta has the adaptive headlights that turn with the steering wheel AND the the relevant dog light will come on when I’m turning that direction. I LOVE that feature, but it doesn’t work on the X5.
Maybe we just have to turn on and keep our dog lights on at all times. Lol |

Confirmed..our cornering lights are NOT working. You can see with the blinkers on the little cutout in the light has no illumination. That is where the cornering LED should turn on.

According to the Adaptive Light video in the online manual the cornering lights do not come on with the blinker. It is only once the car starts turning that they are activated.
Edit: Later in the video it shows the car driving with the blinker on and no light showing, then the light does come on but doesn't seem to be turning yet. It is all computer rendered so maybe that is the difference. |

Every previous BMW we have had with cornering lights it would come with the blinker or every time the car was put in reverse. Neither happens with the X5. I also drove in front of my wife tonight and watched in the rear view mirror, nothing ever turned on even while in motion.

Not according to the video, besides what you describe it shows them turning on when turning at an intersection. Maybe two features that do the same thing, I don't know. Did you watch the video?

Remember, I'm not saying the lights are working just that I saw in the video that they didn't come on with the blinker being turned on. As mentioned it is computer generated so that could be the difference. From the video, first with blinker on and no light then turning with light.

FYI, have an appointment on Thursday at the dealer to look into the curb/cornering lights issue (among some other items). I'll report back what I find out.

Update! I spent a fair amount of time with the master tech at our dealer today. We confirmed the cornering lights definitely do NOT come on. There happened to be another customer at service with a X5 that had laser lights, his cornering lights didn’t work either. Dealer is going to open an issue with BMWNA engineering about it to get an answer. Tested a 7 series, 5 series, and X3...cornering lights came on and worked just fine on those models.
Hopefully this is just a coding issue that will fix it for everyone! You can see the LED in the cornering light cutout...so we know it’s there!

Is there anyone on here with a more recent build X5 that can test/confirm if the cornering lights do or don't work on yours? Our X5 is a week 41 and the other customer's X5 at the dealer was a week 43.
Simple test is to just turn on the turn indicator with the headlights set to "Auto". It does need to be dark enough for the headlights to be on. Another test is to put the car into reverse with the headlights on. The cornering lights on both sides should turn on (they did in the X3, 5, and 7 in the showroom).

I can't believe simple things like this are not working in these cars, what else is not working that we don't know about? Frontal collision stopping comes to mind.

I am not updating until the next big update as most everything works with the apps and WiFi. Obviously this is all software related so we just have to continue to compare notes on the forum and make a stink at all our individual dealers. “IDrive-Me 2” movement. |

They came on in my 435 and 528 both with adaptive LED pkg in reverse, but the G05 has that odd wording that they "may" come on in reverse. I don't think I ever noticed mine either in any circumstance

I have looked at G05's with Laser and definitely see a hole with reflectors, but no bulb (and no light is emitted upon cornering or reversing). |

One thing i dont seam to have seen is anything from bmw on some of these items that were advertised but do not show up on the cars. I have not taken mine to the dealer yet since so many problems are coming up i figure i will wait and get more fixed.
Has anyone heard from the dealer or someone at bmw regarding the lights? |

Ok, so this is the best I could do with my iPhone.
This first photo is of one of the LED/Laser headlights. You can see all the LEDs in there (the yellow squares). The second photo is of the mirrors in the cornering light...that should angle the light 90 degrees to the side of the car. You can see 1 LED (the yellow square) reflected. If you get on your hands and knees and look up at the inside-top of the cornering light you can see the cutout where the LED is. So there IS an LED in there! It just doesn't come on. Hopefully the BMWNA engineering request that my dealer has opened up will shed some light on this for everyone. Maybe this will even lead to everyone getting their cornering lights fixed! They certainly work just fine on the 5, 7, and X3 that we tested at the dealer! I really don't see how all the cars left the factory without a documented feature in the manual working.
