Hi All
Im new to the forum but not to bmws, I have recently purchased a 64 plate 116d msport done 2k miles, should my Xenon headlights have condensation on the inside of the lens on both sides? A little concerning many thanks in advance for any help.

No they shouldn't really. It is under warranty so I would book it in with your local BMW dealer.

Mine does that on a cold day. Think i read that its a characteristic of xenons as they don't warm up the cluster like halogens do? I could be wrong but that's a theory I read.

Mine don't do that.... I'd take it to the dealer... Should be a dry, sealed unit

So does mine. A small amount from time to time on the plastic lens cover. Goes away but returns
when cold and damp but not always. Not worried about it.
I've got this issue on my drivers xenon. According to Lloyd BMW they're vented to allow the displacement of heat, it's not something I've had before with xenons so I'm not sure if they're just talking rubbish! Particularly weird that's it's only one lamp
