I am not aware of a way to verify anti-dazzle functionality without actually spending time observing it in real life. In my case, for example, I knew within 24 hours that something was different, but it took about of a week of focused observation to be sure it was behaving as expected. In fact, because auto-highbeams functionality became more conservative in 11/2019.xx relative to previous versions, it will now be even harder/longer to tell that it's doing its thing and doing it well.
Jesus, what now BMW!!?? Take it back to the dealer and demand they fix it and apologize to you and humanity. This is ridiculous and I don't recall seeing anyone mention this before and have not seen that "purchase" message before.
