The only hope we have is via coding at this point...

Interesting developments! Please keep us posted!
I got confirmation that my CA will be emailing a document I created with all my findings (pics, diagrams, videos, etc) on the G05 cornering lights to the BMWNA X5 trainer tomorrow. Hopefully he will have some additional insight into this as well once I hear back.

i am glad we are getting some news at least, and not like the other SA's saying this was disabled by design.
my dealer told me today that they are working on my lights today and will report back. lets see what happens.

If the theory is the corner lights were turned off for the US market wouldn't we hear from folks outside the US that confirm they do work in there country?

But I highly doubt what she said, because she does not really know much about new X5. I don't know how BMW trained those geniuses |

I heard from my dealer today as well corner lights are deactivated in USA. And won't work on my car. So I hope they are wrong and it will work with an update

denniss, did you dealer give any explanation as to why the corner lights are disabled? Is it a regulatory issue or are they somehow tied into the anti-dazzle coding of the laser lights? Thanks.

They don't. That was my point earlier in this and the Laser threads. It's pure BS (IMHO) and US "requirements" are simply being used as an excuse. My question still stands - in non-US countries why don't cornering lights work AND has laser power been reduced globally as well.

it is my understanding the corner lights do not work on any G05 world wide? Since this was a feature advertised and demonstrated on there website wouldn't we all be in a position to get some compensation?

I've had mine at the dealer for a few days now, and they aren't getting any fault codes for the cornering lights and have not been able to successfully program anything in order to make them activate. They called BMW Canada and were told that they don't exist on Canadian or American G05's because of regulations.
I asked why the G05's are the only vehicle subject to these supposed regulations when every current and old BMW has them in one way or another as far back as our E70 and likely prior? The advisor obviously couldn't answer that so said he'd put in another call to BMW Canada. Am I correct with my next rebuttal that cornering lights DO NOT work on any laser equipped European or Asian G05's, so their excuse of NA Regulations is complete BS? |

Thanks ScottMZ3 for confirming that. I'll gladly go to battle over this as my dealer is going to have my vehicle for some weeks until BMW releases the 'steering twitch' fix.

The dealer agrees that the corner light should work and they have submitted a PUMA case. They will inform me once they hear back from BMW.

Just got the official word from the dealer via their PUMA case... BMW says they have disabled the cornering lights on all North American X5s and the dealer said they have no way of coding them to turn on." Last edited by Phred; 02-23-2019 at 11:16 PM.. |

Disabled? Don't exist? I think we've been snookered. Just like the laser lights. Does BMW expect NHTSA to approve them? If they are approved will dealers be able to activate them? This is a real fiasco.
