You do realize that most of the "adaptive" function of the LED headlights are neutered because of USA regulations (which are always behind). Remember when the rest of the world had halogens and we were still stuck with tungsten?

I digress, the hardware for FULL adaptive functionality is there, it's just disabled in software. It can be turned back on (there are those that specialize in providing custom coding for BMWs). It does some pretty neat stuff, and is able to keep the high beams on much longer and without bothering other drivers. For example when approaching someone from behind, the beams will split to made a illumination dead spot as not to reflect off the mirror, but you still have high beams for the sides. It can turn off one high beam when someone is on your right (not to hit their side view mirror) or on the left for oncoming traffic.

I also had it coded to turn off the radio when I open the door, plus a few other items. I have a 2017 340GT.
