It depends on which headlight configuration you have. If you have xenons then they light up when you pull the turn signal stalk towards you to "flash" someone. If you don't have xenons then they act as daytime running lights until you turn the headlights on, then they act as highbeams.

I have a F31 with xenon, same here. It was the same on my 2009 E 91 aswell. I asked one of the BMW dealers in Olso for the purpose of the inner lights but they could not answer.

thanks guys, i honestly thought something was wrong with mine until I started reading, and just wanted to confirm, it would have been cool if they both worked but still they are the brightest ones on the road

When high beams are invoked, a little shutter in front of the bulb moves out of the way and allows more light to pass. This is why switching between high and low beam is instant and there is no warm-up time when going to high beam. |

On my old 3 and my current 5, and I think the new 3 is the same, the inner headlights are cornering lights. Left lights up when you turn left or turn on the left turn signal, right when you turn right and both light up if you put the car in reverse.
