Overall i think that thread is really good to check out, regarding the Laser lights at least.
Cool videos too of them in action.

I have the standard lights, and they are pretty good compared to my other cars. While backing into my spot at work today, I noticed that the lights did move with the steering wheel. It's wasn't substantial though. In comparison, my Golf R really looked around the corners.

I felt the same way. Could be wrong, but I swear my F30 really dramatically swiveled the lights.

Thanks, I will check it out. I have the laser lights on my X5 and they work very well. You can tell when they kick in. Beside that the DRLs look much better.

So if you really want a fully loaded adaptive LED then only option is to get Executive package so that you can get both Icon AdaptiveLED plus Laser. Best of both worlds. I know in NA the laser has limited output. But still it's better than standard LED.

yeah as of 2021 model year all the US cars have the cornering light LED. the last few years you could get the 330i with just non cornering LED.

Thanks for the info. I am ordering a MY21 and I was Concerned about that. I love my current my18. They corner quite a bit. I'd miss not having them. I mess with people at 2 way stop sign. Turn my wheel back and forth.

Now that it's dark all the time, the lights do turn quite a bit based on speed. I am happy with them.
