Depends on the adjustment, I'm surprised the WoF shop didn't fix it there and then. Any mechanic can adjust a headlight, it's also possible to do it yourself without any special tools. What adjustment is required? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There were three points listed on the WOF sheet for left side headlight, one was beam height, other was related to beam spectrum and can’t recall third.

KwS 2425 Report post Posted July 26, 2020 Im not familiar with Z3s but do they suffer from failing adjusters like the E39 did, and do they suffer from cloudy lenses? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3AN 4016 Report post Posted July 26, 2020 Does it have aftermarket or custom headlights or bulbs of any kind? Did the inspector give you any additional information? That's a very, very weird fail if the car has passed previously. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NZ00Z3 187 Report post Posted July 26, 2020 Z3's have a manual height adjuster dial (for loaded car) on the head lights. Situated on the left side of the steering column, below the dash. Calibrated 0-2. I always have it on 0 and pass WOF's easily. Has someone had a play with the dial and left it on 2? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
