Usually when the xenons change color its time to change the lamp/bulb.

yup, i nearly took appart the headlight housing before i asked a tech at the dealer the same question. One side will alwasy appear brighter than the other cause the way its aimed. You can find illustrations on this on the net if you snoop around, one beam covers more ground than the other.

sounds like an obsessive compulsive thing....sometimes things just aren't perfect. It's normal though....my Z4 does it and so does my TT
