No, all the information I saw before ordering indicated the US would have a reduced version due to approval in the States. I assume once (if) it is approved they can recode it to full power.

I guess I should have been more informed. The first time I saw anything is when my CA sent me a copy of the VIR and I noticed "decoding laser lights".

Well to be fair US regulations don't allow them to operate as intended

If BMW didn't expect the US to approve the laser lights why bother to put them on the US cars? This is crazy.

Good point. We paid for something that isn't working as designed and may never work as designed.

I just picked mine up today with the LLs. Out on dark, back country roads at over 60mph. Meh. I'm underwhelmed. I badly wanted to be excited about them because deer are a huge issue and I really need to light those things up. But I was honestly stretching to detect much of a difference between the LLs and my F15 LEDs. Kinda feel like they're a waste of money as they sit and hope the regs change and I get some of that spotlighting feature to go along with my night viz (which put a smile on my face. A > $2000 smile, I might add) https://g05.bimmerpost.com/forums/im...lies/smile.gif |

Laser Lights nobbled in the US and the result is loss of cornering lights. So why aren't cornering lights working in non-us locations? Does that mean full laser function has been globally nobbled? Something not right...

I think they will be able to be coded to full functionality. That’s my hope anyway.

This sounds like a temporary issue to me. As you said, there is absolutely NO logical explanation for not enabling it on the G05. |
