Can you adjust headlights on your BMW ?

Guys

I have the New X3 and New X4 both with LED headlights. It seems to me that the X3 light aiming is a little bit more to my liking and I am wondering if I myself can adjust the headlight aim on the X4 ?

I don't want to screw up the auto moving headlight system. I simply want to move the left light slightly left and up when its in the neutral driving position.

Is this done in software or in the headlamp ?

Thx
C

There is an option you have to tick, it's there in the manual, wasn't gonna spend the extra $$$ on it I think it's called adaptive headlights.

I presume that you are not supposed to be able to aim the headlights wherever you want them. Local regulations would surely specify a zone in which they should be aimed, to prevent dazzling oncoming traffic? There is adjustment to aim them further downwards for when you have a heavy load in the luggage compartment, but you shouldn't be able to aim them further upwards.

The adaptive headlights turn while you are cornering, rather than giving you free adjustment.
