So as I am a new owner of an F10 I am not aware with all the features it has. I have read that there is the cornering lights available but I don't know if mine are suited for this. When I turn directions nothing happens. I was wondering if is something from the menu which I shout set or what will be the besr way to check if I have or not. Thank you!

Do you have adaptive lights? If so, use auto switch position.

To find out what features you have enter the last 7 digits of your VIN here http://bimmer.work/

S524A is the code for Adaptive Headlights.

Off Topic: I notice from your vehicle's VIN decode that you have S575 including 2 batteries. I saw that on mine too (Luxury Line as well) - I believe two batteries are not very common on 535 - normally seen only in Diesel versions and 550's.

I wonder what the reason to have 2 batteries on 535....

I'll be honest...I don't quite understand what the "2 batteries" means at the end of the S575a option code...but that option code indicates that you have additional 12 volt sockets. See the attached image below (from the part database) that lists the option code S575a in regards to additional 12 volt outlets.

When you have the second aux battery...that usually comes when you have IAS (integral active steering) SVA2H. Do you have that option? Here's a link to the TIS that describes the function of the auxiliary battery: https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/f...ery/1VnXzY6x4V

I will check in the trunk tomorrow to see if there are indeed two batteries. Not sure of the purpose either but I think the Luxury Line is a bit heavier than the M Sport or plain for some reason... IDK. I don't have SVA2H

If your build date is after 7/2013...while you're back there poking around...see if you have the (X98) trunk 12 volt socket pictured below:

• S575 Socket, lugg. comp. incl. 2. batt.

{from 7/2013-up build date}

[starlights]

Are you referring to a 12v socket on the inside lower portion of the trunk (the side back number plate tag is?) Is so then I can confirm right away as I have used it.

Both our 2012 AND 2014 have that option number and the socket.

Is anyone having issues with Bimmer.work? I keep getting the "Something went wrong" error. I've tried on both my phone and laptop with the same results. I verified the VIN (registration, picture of title, insurance card) and i'm using the correct information.

Any alternatives out there or guidance?
