Headlight (purpose?)

This might sound like an odd question, however its puzzled me ever since I got my X5M. What's the purpose of the inner projector on the X6 & X6M/X5M headlight assembly?
The M models don't have fog lights, the high beams use the outer primarily HID projector (bi-xenon), and the daytime running lights use the halo's. So what's the purpose the inner projector? On M3's its utilized while turning by assisting with corner illumination, yet our headlights do not have this function.
If the projector is utilized as the cornering light by regular X6 models, why did BMW disable it on the X5M and X6M models? Very strange...
