There are a number of different headlights fitted to the F series, might help to tell us which one you have.

I'm pretty sure that only cars that have an auto-levelling feature such as Xenon or adaptive LED etc will point down then up as part of a startup check. Halogens won't move an inch.

Mine are definitely Halogen lights, and they move up and down on turn on, but I also have the dial switch to move them up and down next to the light dial, which does not work. Mines a 2016 320d Xdrive

LOL only had Xenon / LED so my bad. Sounds like a trip to a dealer.
