This may change, as there was a rule change, supposedly effective on 12 October 2020 that allowed some adaptive light functionality in the USA. The previous rules required a simple hi/low beam switch and would not allow it to be adaptive (other than self-leveling).

Hopefully, BMW can change the light's function with an OTA update, but otherwise, it may take some coding ourselves to achieve what other countries have already out of the box.
Did that ever go through? I cannot find anything updated through NHTSA, would love to have the full capability of the headlights I upgraded.
