In Australia does the Adaptive Headlight option include High-Beam Assist?
Hi Everyone,
Just finalising a few changes to my order and am about to add Adaptive Headlights - for people that have ordered in Australia - do you know if the Adaptive Headlight includes High-Beam Assist or you have to option them both separately? On the option list it has the separate, whereas in the brochure it mentions High-Beam Assist in the paragraph that explains the Adaptive Headlights option.. Help would be appreciated! Thanks James |

I didn't order them, but I looked at the brochure where they are described that way, and also remember asking my dealer when I was configuring mine and I recall he told me:
- the M135 comes standard with bi-xenons; - you can add adaptive, which gives you cornering (I had this on my S3); and - you can add high beam assist |

Separate options. I had the high beam assist on my M3 and 740i, and quite frankly it is only useful for country drives where there is no street lights. Doesn't work well otherwise. I would not bother.

ooooh yes! It has so many delightful personalities. I've never had a car before like it. As others have said, you can pootle around in suburbia, and no-one knows the difference. Then enter a motorway, and let it have its head (a very short moment of pleasure, given our speed limits). Then off into the twists, where I think it really shines. However, if "look at moi" is your thing, then it's a fail!

On the BMW Aus configurator, it seems that if you order Adaptive Headlights, you get high beam assist. However you can order just high beam assist.
I decided against the Adaptive Headlights for my car because I hated the high beam assist on my previous BMW. I do miss the turning Xenons ever so slightly, but even the standard lights are excellent.

I think there's a difference between the configurator, and the actual options sheet that is completed when you order the car. But maybe that's changed since Dec 2012
