Laser Lights - Cornering Light?

Now that the G20 3's are starting to arrive at dealers, I have a request. When someone has a moment could you post either a video or pics of the cornering lights on the laser light equipped G20? They should come on with the blinkers, in reverse, or when the wheel is turned. Headlights need to be in "Auto" mode and it needs to be dark enough for the headlights to be on.

There is a huge thread on the G05 X5 forum about the non-functional cornering lights on the 2019 X5 (with laser lights) and we are trying to gather evidence that it appears the G05 is the ONLY BMW with non-functional cornering lights (even though the LED is there).

You can read the thread here if you are interested: https://g05.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1570632

Much appreciated!!

Need to validate this when we get ours.

This is what it says on the G20 Owner Manual in Adaptive Light Control section.

Quote:
Cornering light

In tight curves, for instance on mountainous roads or when turning, an additional, cornering light is switched on that lights up the inside of the curve when the vehicle is moving below a certain speed.

The cornering light is automatically switched on depending on the steering angle or the use of turn signals.

When driving in reverse, the cornering lights may be automatically switched on regardless of the steering angle.
You may try driving G05 X5 in reverse and check if that's indeed the case?

Thanks! Please let us know.

As for driving in reverse, we have tried everything. There isn't a single X5 in the country that has functional cornering lights.

BMWNA hasn't come up with a good excuse yet as to why none of them work. Read the thread I posted above for all the details/pics/videos. Lets hope they work on the G20! They work on the M850i with laser lights just fine.

We are all hoping its just a coding fix.

Any chance to start it in the show room and turn the blinker? wheels? maybe it will work on fast push start button not full engine start.

We know it works on 850, but not on x5. Rumor is it is a tall vehicle and disabled by regulations. Want to confirm that the low vehicles like 850 and 3 with laser lights have the feature enabled
