Adaptive lights are good if you do a lot of driving at night through windy country roads. if you do mainly city and main road drving then I would probably not spend money on this option and put it to something else.
IMHO It's nice to have but not something you will miss if it's not there. |

I have the Adaptive lights options on my X6 and they are genuine adaptive lights that adjust the aim left or right as the steering wheel turns.
(even slightly). The aim also seems to vary with speed as well but I cannot be sure of this. The fog lights also switch on and off when doing slow manouvers (eg parking) My car was manufactured in April 2010 so I cannot comment on whether the Adaptive lights have changed for the new models. Hope this helps |

But don't worry about not getting it. As Dunzzy said, it's nothing big. |

As far as I know , every BMW I've had with adaptive lights , didn't involve just fog or corner lights turning on. The headlight capsules move with your steering. Why would you not want to make sure any BMW you buy has this ? It's a safety option as I see it.

Thanks to for all comments, nobody said it was bad, it was more of a nice to have (the least), so I added it to the order, as I did not want to regret it. Soon I will probably be looking for the perfomance upgrades after it arrives (as the wish to have smthg added never seems to stop), or I will have to leave this forum for good.
