Laser lights

I have read that due to US regulations, the power of the laser lights in that country are reduced compared to the European G20s. Does anyone know whether the Australian G20s laser lights are Euro, US or some other spec?

I believe we get the EU spec laser light in Australia.

Yep. Agreed. We get the Euro spec laser lights.
The blurb from BMW states a light range of 530 m.

To be honest, I've owned the car for 9months now but I'm still yet to experience the laser light. I don't often drive at night and even more rare to be out in the bush at night. Lol..

Like most on the forum, I much prefer the DRL of the laser light compared to the standard LED.

It was part of a package with metallic paint and sunroof (both of which I usually optioned when buying a car). The difference in prices was minimal if they were optioned separately - so it was a no brainer to get the package.

AU get EU spec laser. If you've experienced the BMW adaptive LED (which are great), the adaptive laser lights are better. If you're getting a 330 or 320 DrM, definitely get the Visibility pack. The 340 has these as std if that help you justify the B58
