I'm not sure why high beams need to be assisted by laser technology since halogen high beams are effective and have been effective since the invention of the car.
Having the laser in the low beam makes more sense to me since that is what 100% of drivers use 100% of the time when driving at night.
But to limit the laser tech to high beam assist and speed restrictions with no user control is not what is being said in the ad for Icon adaptive LED with laser lighting technology.
It is no biggie $1,000 for an option on a $80,000 vehicle is no big deal for the buyer or anyone else BUT we have to call it what it is! Free money given to BMW for something you think you will use.
By the way I went thru a few dealerships, Crevier being one, looking at scores floor models 2019 X5 XDRIVE40I and I've not yet found one packaged with Laser.
It is either a really rare option or many initial factory 4.0I vehicles did not ship to the USA marketplace with them.

LOL. We will have to agree to disagree. I think it is more of an instance of people not knowing what the technology is and how it is used.
