BMW Adaptive LED headlights

Yep have this on my Merc and it's fantastic. Matrix led headlights that cut multiple holes in incoming traffic etc very cool. Fullbeam permanently on but only illuminating non traffic objects.

I have a problem with adding stuff to cars after we've placed the order... I'll be seeking counselling... :crazydude:

When ordering, I try to keep the cost down to something 'reasonable' but find that, up until the build is locked down for production, I keep looking at the options and thinking 'Hmmm, I could add <insert option here>..., it's only an extra £xxx' - that's how the Lighting Package turned into the Adaptive LEDs... :oops:
Did you manage to get a premium when selling the X3 for my signature on the bonnet? :lol:

I specced the system with high beam assist on Mrs K's 335 and was very disappointed when I couldn't get the high beam assist on the 35is last September .
What couldn't you get it? My 35is has adaptive and high beam assist?
It's got adaptive headlights but not high beam assist - the car was ordered mid August 2016 and was in the BMW system - it had all the essentials and most of the desireables but not high beam assist .

So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with. :thumbsup:
