I'll try a BMW genius tomorrow (the service advisor at the dealer I rang didn't have a clue... ) and see what they come back with.
My manual says that "the light distribution prevents dazzling etc when in a country where they drive on the other side of the road" and there wasn't anything in settings to tell it you were driving on the other side of the road. However, when I took it to France you could see the light beam shining into oncoming cars and I was flashed many times by oncoming vehicles. Thankfully only had to drive in the dark once for a few hours.
Would be nice to know how to adjust them for the next time!
