HI Greydog I appreciate your patience. It is looking like a non problem and it could well be that the inner lamps are just for flash activity. I'm going to have a chat with MOT garage also on this just to be sure as it cant be the only one that does that Regards Jenksy

OK, thanks to Greydog for the guidance also, some updates on my main beam. I have now fully tested the main beam (inner lights) on my E64 headlight arrays. At night the following happens on either auto or full lights setting: Angel eyes on, flash the lights using the stalk (pull towards), inner beam works, blue light on dash, outer lights also flash brighter. IN the daylight the inner beam also flashes when flashing only. Angel eyes on, flick the column stalk to full beam permanent (push away once), blue light is on the dash, outside lights move to beam but inner lights on the array do not activate. This is really puzzling. I had the windscreen changed last year and Im wondering if this is a sensor led problem or if it is a stalk problem when on permanent. Even though the blue light is activated on the dash the inner lights have no juice. Any other thoughts appreciated. Paul

Grey dog, many thanks for this direction. Will report back. Jenksy

Hi, I am new to the site and very much enjoying my 2006 E64. Great bit of kit. Ive Had some great help and guidance in the past from owner sites on other vehicles so I'm hoping the Bimmer owners is similar. Got an issue - both main beam lights stopped working, at the same time (only main beam). Bit weird I thought. Got a bulb out but the bulb was OK, not blown. Blue lamp on dash operates when the stalk is activated also, but the bulbs are not working. Went to fuse boxes and there doesn't appear to be any specific fuse listed for main beam headlights, unless someone can tell me otherwise. Checked a number of general fuses that appeared to be linked to headlights, all good. Is there a relay of some kind that may have blown. The fact both sides went U/S simultaneously suggests a common part is blown or broken somewhere. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated. The light units are Bi xenon and main beam using the H7 type bulb. I look forward to hearing back. Many thanks. Jenksy

Hi team, picked up a 2006 E64 650i back end of 2017 with 78K on the clock and a very complete history. Just a stunning vehicle and a real joy to drive, especially with the roof down, which it has been in sunny Feb. Looking forward to contributing where I can and also learning from other forum chat, which is always useful as this is my first BMW. What a bit of kit it is. Been very well cared for indeed.
