Headlight problem

Hey everyone..i have a problem. I put the KW v1 on and my car is now perfect to me. The problem is the headlights point to the sky now and no matter the adjustment, the auto-leveling re-poin them to the sky. BMW told me it's something that is not fixable unless i get a some part that would have to be aftermarket that prevents the auto-leveling system to think the car is lowered...

Anyone have any experience with this and can help me out?

Thanks.

On driver's side rear, right behind the spring there is a levelling sensor that was installed backwards. I had the exact same problem as you and told my mechanic to check the sensor and sure enough he installed it backwards after changing out the springs.

Shocked those clowns at the dealer didn't know to check for the sensor. It's a 2 minute fix once the wheel is off.

Thank you for this! I brought my car in and sure enough, this was exactly the problem! Took all of about 15 minutes to fix.
