BMW M2 Headlights

I was looking at my 2106 (Irish) M2's reflection is a shop window last night while the Missus was in getting a script when I remembered my old 2007 E92 headlights. I remember that there appeared to be two lamp fittings in each of the headlamp units, both fittings had an "Angel Eye" but the inner fitting never lighted, even when flashing the high beam, I was told by the BMW dealer that only the outer Xenon light was used.

So there I was at the Chemist switching the lights from auto, to off, then to sidelights and finally main dipped headlights. When I flashed the High Beam, again only the outer bulb ever lights up. I have adaptive lights, but anyone know why only the outer bulb is used? Surely a second bulb would make night (High Beam Driving) way better?

Also discussed here..... but still no real answer as to if it is used or what it is for if not for a light bulb! http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=985206

and on the F10 5 Series they appear to be part of the adaptive cornering lights! http://f10.5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=682446

The 2106 M2 actually has headlights? I would imagine it would just be an AR experience, at best.
