Just read the full text, and if you see them both adjust up and down on start, the following wouldnt apply. Are you sure the headlight adjusters are fine? On the E39s it was common that the headlight adjusters which are inside the headlight housing would get brittle and break. This would cause the headlights to point down all the time. You can tell if they're broke if you jiggle where the headlight lamp goes into the lense, if its firm then the adjusters should be fine, but if there's a lot of play then you know they're broken. I didn't think this problem existed in the e46s but if the adjuster sensor has its linkages Id check the headlight.
