What difference does that make? Have you seen the Toyota Corolla? Plenty of $15,000 fleet Corollas out there with LED headlights standard, albeit just the low beams.
Get with the program, xenons should've been standard long ago from a supposed premium brand. Are you guys really gonna play this pre-LCI/LCI now you have LEDs, now you don't game yet again?
Stop making excuses and just say BMW is greedy and cheap and will sell halogen headlight turds to people as long as people will still buy the cars with them. This is a nice area you could be a leader in the industry, and just say you are going to move forward with technology and make xenons standard across the line, which wouldn't even be that impressive since the technology is 20 years old at this point (Lincoln MK VIII and some Porsches had them back in the mid-90s IIRC). Halogens are 50 years old.
Nothing cheapens your brand more than halogen headlights and incandescent brake lights IMO. Are you still going to be doing this in another 30 years?
