F30 LCI 340i - Anti-Dazzle

Hi and thanks for reading,

I'm looking for some clarification, after a lot of searching and no definitive answer.

I'm considering buying a 2016-2018 340i M-Sport to replace my 2012 F30 335i.
I used a VIN decoder to check one car of interest, and it has the hardware for anti-dazzle:
552 (adaptive LED headlight)
563 (lights package)
5A1 (LED foglights)
5AC (auto high beam)
5AG (Lane change warning)
5AS (Driving assistant)

I know it has a camera in the rear view mirror, because it warned me in the HUD when I closed in on another car at speed.
I know it has adaptive LEDs because it says "BMW Adaptive LED" on the headlight.
It has the split buttons on the left stalk on the steering column.
It does NOT have 5AP and 854 (it's an Australian model, not USA).

That's what I know. What I can't work out is what the car does at night on dark roads.
Does it merely auto-dip high beams for oncoming traffic, or does it do the anti-dazzle stuff where it uses shutters to create a hole if I'm following another car, and selectively switch off high beams for oncoming traffic?
Should I be looking for an additional code in the VIN decoder?

Is auto high beam and/or anti-dazzle standard in a 2016-2018 LCI F30 340i M-Sport?

Unfortunately the car is a fair distance away and anti-dazzle is a must-have for me (otherwise I might as well keep my 335i).
I'd prefer to be clear on my facts before viewing it, since I would want to inspect the car in daylight, but would need darkness to test if anti-dazzle worked. I think it most likely does have anti-dazzle, but would really like 100% certainty, either from BMW documentation or from an owner that confirm it works on theirs (and ideally a PM with their VIN if anti-dazzle was officially enabled from the factory).

Thanks in advance.

It's standard for an Australian 340i

I have late 2016 model and it's standard.
