Assuming you do mean HID, then by law, there has to be dynamic beam levelling, where the level of the beam is constantly monitored via suspension sensors and adjusted to prevent dazzling. Power washers or wipers must also be fitted, as a dirty HID lamp will scatter the light and cause glare.
Research has shown that they don't dazzle people any more than halogen, but people's eyes are drawn to them, because of the unusual light .

You are right that a self-levelling system is fitted - but it still has to be 'calibrated', and I suspect that this is where the problem may lie.
The standard BMW headlights are not that bright, so it has to be the HID ones that he's complaining about.

I can't believe that the 5-6 cars that I've noticed ( all new BMW )have badly adjusted aims. It's actually the brightness of the bulbs themselves which is dazzling irrespective of the aim.What does HID stand for ?
I do know a poorly adjusted headlight having been in the trade for 30 yrs.
