Adaptive headlights/auto high beam for UK cars

Hi all,

I’m based in the UK, and looking to pick up an M240i. I’ve been struggling to find out what sort of headlight tech the car comes with however.

I understand the car comes with auto high beam, but what does that actually entail? E.g. if there was an approaching car, would the car…
  • Completely shut off both headlights’ high beam.
  • Only shut off one headlight full beam (if appropriate).
  • Split the headlight beams, so that they stay on, but do not cause any dazzling.
  • Something else.

I’m aware UK and US cars sometimes have differing anti-dazzle functionality, so any clarification would be really appreciated.

I’ve tried to find PoV night drives etc. but haven’t found anything which really shows how the headlights would work at night.

I used to have access to a 7 Series which had the ability to split both headlight beams. I live around a lot of country roads, so it’s often very useful to have the high beam on, in case there are any suicidal deers about.

Thanks!
