BMW’s adaptive LED headlights and full-LED taillights are modern and stylish, but some owners in Pakistan have reported longevity and performance issues.

✅ Common Headlight & Taillight Problems:

Condensation Inside Headlights: Some owners have noticed moisture buildup inside the headlamp housing, especially after car washes o r rainy weather. This happens due to poor sealing o r clogged ventilation channels.
Headlight Flickering o r Failure: LED headlights can start flickering o r failing prematurely, often due to voltage fluctuations in Pakistan’s unstable power conditions.
Expensive Headlight Replacements: Since the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé uses adaptive LED technology, replacing a single headlamp unit can cost over PKR 150,000–200,000.
Taillight Cracking o r Dim Light Output: Some owners report that the LED taillights develop cracks due to heat expansion. Others notice a weaker glow over time, requiring replacements.
🔹 How to Maintain BMW 2 Series Headlights & Taillights:

Use a Headlight Protection Film: Helps prevent scratches and moisture buildup.
Ensure Proper Sealing: If condensation appears, check for loose o r damaged rubber seals and dry out the housing.
Regular Electrical System Checkups: Keeping the battery voltage stable prevents LED flickering o r early failures.
