Description of the problem	Upon returning to seattle, wa, since i flew down to berkley, ca to purchase my vehicle, i noticed excessive headlamp shake when going over any bumps on the highway, especially expansion joints. Both left and right headlamps shake equally as bad, and i consider that a safety hazard while driving. It is very distracting and searching many online forums, people have been having many issues with the adaptive headlamp bracket arms being broken. Cpo warranty does not cover headlamps according to bmw, and they are not willing to pay for both replacements.
