So when sitting behind the wheel I've noticed that when I turn the steering wheel to the left from the 12 o'clock/neutral position, the headlights barely move to the left.

But when turning the wheel to the right from 12 o'clock, the headlights have the "normal" amount of movement one would expect, and from that position when i turn left to go back towards 12 o'clock, the headlights turn left to return back to center.

So I'm wondering why they barely move/turn when going from 12 o'clock to left? Is it designed this way or is this a fault in the headlight motor?

I can't remember how it was when I first had the car brand new.

I had this on my car too, i think it's to prevent drivers going the opposite direction from getting blinded

Yes this is done on purpose

Yep even my xenons do this to not blind oncoming drivers.

On my 13 328i with adaptive (xenon) they don't turn much to the left when you're sitting but I've noticed when you're actually driving and turn to the left they will move about the same as when you turn right
