In your scenario if the vehicle was stolen and laser lights rep. with standard LEDs - you can visually tell the difference between standard LED and Laserlight with adaptive LED headlights. Standard LEDs only have operational outer light units (inner unit is a blank) and Laserlights have both operational inner and outer units.
Most or the majority of BMW parts have a QR code sticker or stamp with part/part serial number on them.
But no you can't tell if so when. 
Did your vehicle get stolen or something? |
My car was transported to a dealership and then a body shop after being involved in a hit and run. Somewhere along the line my headlamps were swapped out from Laser to standard LED. Trying to track when it was done.
