Both headlights where effected.

Hope you got this addressed under warranty.
As an independent data point, my 2014 headlights don't show any pitting (pics below). Not arguing the validity of your concerns, just observing that not all 2014 headlights appear to be effected.

Though since your not in the USA, yours could have had the halogen option which depending on reflector style yes the light output could suck, as many have found out even the 3 series with halogen suck bad. |
I think this nails it: for some inane (cost?) reason, BMW is selling i3 with non-LED headlights outside of the US. Compared to either Xenons or LEDs, BMW's halogen headlights are downright scary bad. I had halogens on one of the 3-series loaners a few months ago, and they are worthless.
i3's LED low-beams are very good.
I hardly ever used the high beams.
