4 series xenon headlight condensation after raining day

[MCM]

Guys need check if this is a normal issue?

It will fog during raining and cause condensation at the bottom, left and right area.

Went to PML and they claim is normal as its part of the design due to temp change and refuse to change for me.

Any advise for me as my warranty will be over in 1year 3months time.

Thank you

Shouldn't occur. The headlamp is not properly sealed somewhere.

Definitely not normal. Go make noise!

This is completely normal as Long as it goes away after a few hours. My F10 has it too, it even had it on the day I collected my car from PML first time and it rained. I've checked the US forums, it a common occurrence. Those who say not normal have not noticed their headlights after a rainy day. Even other f10 parked in my parking after rain can see condensation inside.

Never happened on my E90 but sold so can't check now. Lets see if it happens on my current 2GT.

Other car makes I have had never had the issue. Normally the lamps are sealed and water vapors are removed so condensation doesn't occur.

Guess it's normal. Happens on my 4 series too

Bmw headlamps are not completely sealed for hot air to come out due to the heat of the headlights.
