By contrast, BMW adaptive LED headlights achieve the dynamic shadowing by pixel light and thus do not require the presence of the walze."

VLD = Low beams & cornering Lights
NGHB = high beams
@Almaretto So is that statement only applicable to pre-LCI? This seems to indicate that adaptive LED is OK, but I thought you said that it wasn't on LCI F3x cars.

Another question I have (since my car is still not yet here), do the adaptive headlights in the M2 (both Pre-LCI and Post-LCI) not follow the road based on the steering position? My Jaguar has adaptive Xenons and it doesn't do the NGHB, or change the beam shape based on speed, but it does follow the steering.
