New shape 57 BMW 3-series headlight problem, always on?

I have the new BMW 3-series coupe and the headlights are always on during the day even if it's a very bright day. they're only meant to come on automatically when it's dull, i think. Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

The running lights turn on only when it is overcast or dark,



and during night time (this is switched on by turning the light switch to the left of the center mark).



But even if the manual running lights switch is off, if the car had been programmed to turn on the lights at ignition on,



then the lights will go on. You have to ask your dealer to turn it off from your car/key memory (CKM). Or, if your car has the I-drive, then navigate to settings, and turn it off. Some new E90's can reset their CKM thru the left signal light stalk, but this is a little complicated for owners and it is best for the dealer tech to do it for you.

I think the sensor is up behind the rear view mirror. Check the windscreen is clean in front of it. Can't you turn the lights off "auto" setting and turn off as normal?
You have day time running lights on you should read the manuel to change the settings on car key memory. If its not the Car key memory and are on all the time even when the key is out of it you need to see your dealer. it needs a software update or a control unit has failed.
