I disagree with LED flexibility. Laser lights are in a different league. Above and beyond the standard offerings. I think we're not too far from BMW fully taking advantage of the laser lights and turning them into a head up display, essentially projecting MPH on to the road. The clarity. The improvement in vision. Nothing compares to the level lf safety they provide.

Standard adaptive LED can swivel round corners etc. but they don't do Selective Beam (where parts of other drivers' cars are blanked out depending on road conditions). Nor do they do auto High Beam unless a fee is paid for post July 2020 models. Visibility package for £1500 in the UK gives you: Full Adaptive LED with BMW Selective Beam High Beam Assistant Laser module that comes on above certain speeds to add more firepower to the adaptive LED high beam. The confusion stems from the fact that different markets get different configurations with the LEDs and the lasers, e,g. Europeans and North Americans. |

As for projection lights with Audi leading the way on this and MB recently doing this with the S Class I think the next 7er will have it, which will be odd seeing the Bavarians trailing the other two on this tech as for the past few years it's been BMW & the Ingolstadt boys duking it out with the folk from Baden-Württemberg State being really slow to catch on. |

Just my opinion here....
I have the Visibility package on mine and never actually driven at night until recently..... and...... WOW I never realised how good these laser lights are! I’m genuinely massively impressed! The way the lights dance around, move around vehicles, you can see them adjusting accordingly to cars in front or at the side or oncoming and damn they are bright! Having never had lights like this I wouldn’t have thought to spec them, having owned them now I would definitely want them again! |

I have the laser lights and they are superb. Massively bright and the dancing light function is great. So glad I specified them

HBA upgrade works
Yep, I upgraded my M340d with HBA via connected drive for £160. It's worked perfectly.

It's the FSC (01B0) cost that would be the issue, as that would ultimately have to come from BMW. Probably cheaper and easier to pay the £160 if that's an option. |

Overall i really like them. I dont like the fact it doesn't dip when approaching a cyclist and doesn't dip entering a village. 2 x things I always do. I too live in a rural setting and start early and finish late so constantly driving in the dark. It's an indulgence but not having to bother having to move to adjust the headlights is lovely. I actually dont think its too much to pay, but others may differ

I would love to buy it, but ConnectedDrive Store is not available in many - including my - country.
