Adaptive headlights

I've a 2016 435d F36 with adaptive headlights. I have to confess that I've not studied the manual and really that's where I should be looking for this information but my understanding was that I should be able to leave the lights on full beam and press the adaptive button on the left stalk to automatically drop /mask the full beam as appropriate? When I do this, I get an 'A' symbol on the dash, it does drop full beam in built up areas with street lights and I do see some masking for traffic but it's clearly not enough because most cars will flash me. Because of this I obviously don't use the system.

Am I expecting too much from this system? Or do they need some kindnd of sensitivity adjustment?

Many thanks for any help.
