Welcome to the board! I hope you get the problems with the BMW solved, that is a pretty reliable car but with the common problems you have experienced.
Maintenance can be pretty high, same thing with many other BMW's when it comes to the cooling system. I flush the radiator fairly regularly and check coolant often, the thermostat housing on my 3 series went out after two years.
Do the brights come on when you have the low beams on or when the lights are off. If they are coming on when the lights are on, I'd say it's the switch.
If they come on when no lights are on, it could be in the column and you are getting a short that causes the brights to come on.
Expect a few problems like this from time to time, you have to balance the good with the bad, if the car is enjoyable to drive and most of the time seems
to perform well, you just have to live with these things and have a budget for the repairs that will come up.
