As long as you have the hardware on your car (it was on my M340d) you can buy the HBA directly from connected drive for £160. Not cheap but it's a standalone purchase.
Not sure why you bumped a year old thread but good to know it's available to some even if it might be at a cost. I have laser lights and around me there are many unlit rural roads/country lanes I drive so it's a must have. I think it very much depends on where one lives and uses their car. City slicker? Don't need it. Occasional unlit motorway? No need. Blind corners on country lanes at night? Probably a good idea. If the majority of ones driving is unlit roads then a must have.

It's way better on the G20. The lights use GPS data to predict corners. The camera reacts quicker to oncoming traffic. Whereas in the F30/F32 I'd often get flashed or sworn at when the high beam assist was on.
