Shakey Headlights? 07 BMW 335i Sedan

Hey all, I just bought my '07 335i sedan a few months ago. Love it to death but the headlights are very shakey when i'm driving it. Has anyone else seen this and is there any fix? I'm pretty handy just wondering if there is a adjustment anywhere.

Thanks in advance.

Yeah it's CPO, but doesn't it only cover powertrain or something?

Yes, I talked to my SA and he said they took off the bumper and re tightened it, not sure if it's fixed yet. I'm just waiting on them to finish up the rest of the car before I pick it up.

if it only is shaky or bouncy when hitting bumps that is just the way they are designed. I asked the dealer the same thing. even my friend with a 5 series says his do the same thing. it's normal .

if the adaptive headlights are bothering you, put them in the fixed mode.

I had the same issue on my 07 335i CPO. Took it back to the dealer. They said that they have to charge me $300 to remove the bumper if they found no issue. Talked to my SA and we both decided that was ridiculous. He told them to open it up and they found that I was missing a bracket. The headlight is normal now. Happened to my passenger side by the way.
