Our F56 Cooper hatch has LED headlights. When on main beam there is an obvious black/unlit line across the beam spread which corresponds exactly with where the dipped beam upper limit is, it's almost as though the main beam is adjusted too high so that it doesn't overlap the dipped beam coverage.

Has anyone else noticed this with their LED headlights or do we have a problem which we need to discuss with our local dealer (car is still under warranty)?

I had an F56 JCW up until last week, and the LED's had a very pronounced cut off when in dipped mode. With winter approaching I was planning to adjust them up slight. Something I find I've had to do with the last five BMW's I've owned. The LED's are the most noticeable as they don't produce stray light,like some Xenon's do.

Thanks creepy coupe, I think we'll go back to the dealer and ask them to check/adjust the lights.
