Sorry for the delayed reply but I only read this thread today.

I investigated this issue when I got our Z4 last year and there was some confusion over which headlights were fitted to my car (I have a UK RHD car but live in Portugal).

I can confirm that there is no lever to flatten the headlight dip pattern.

However, my experience is that the standard pattern is flat enough: I have never been flashed by approaching vehicles, something that happened all the time in my Jaguar XF, even with the Xenon beam pattern flattened using the levers.

You can raise or lower the throw of the headlights manually. So for driving in Europe you could try lowering your nearside headlight. I copied this from another post, although I have not tried it myself:

You can flatten the lights by looking for the white hexagon sockets behind the lights and the black covers. Anyone who wants to raise their headlights manually, turn the white screws CLOCKWISE. Counter-clockwise lowers them.

Hope this helps.
