Thanks Marty! Can always count on you to have an informative detailed response.
Any chance you or anyone would know if there is some sort of audit trail within the vehicles computer or under the VIN in the system to know if A vehicle has had there headlamps changed and either upgraded or downgraded from LED to Laser or vice versa? |

You can decode the VIN to see what type of headlights originally came in the vehicle. Someone would be idiot to downgrade their Laserlight with adaptive LED headlights to just adaptive LED or spend thousands of dollars to upgrade vice versa.

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?
