Anyone with Xenons notice the light juddering/shaking when going over a bump?

Hey everyone. I have a 2016 228i with xenons. Whenever I go over a bump or rough patch in the road at night, I notice the light pattern on the road shake/jiggle around. Anyone else notice this? Its almost as if the housing or something is loose. My 2004 E46 325Ci coupe definitely did not do this and it had xenons. Im wondering if it has anything to do with the harder M Sport suspension and the low profile tires...

It is normal. It is your auto-leveling headlights adjusting the light as the front-end goes up and down ever so slightly.

I've actually found it barely noticeable on my 2-series. It was significantly more noticeable on my 1-series.

I've noticed it. They get pretty wobbly but nothing has broken yet so it must be alright for them do to that.

Yep. Normal. Even asked the dealer about it.
