The high-beam assist that's part of the visibility package on EU/ROW-spec cars is infinitely variable (i.e. not just 2 discreet settings). In the current BMW product portfolio only the F30 have that equipped with bi-xenons, it isn't available on any other BMWs apart from the F01/02 LCI & F12/13 & only then with adaptive LED headlights option.
