They arent talking about LEDs, they are talking about the base 3 series headlights. Which may indeed suck compared to other vehicles.

"we remain confident that we offer our customers very effective headlight systems at a variety of price points."

In other words, we (BMW) choose to equip our base cars with shitty headlights because it maximizes our profits/allows us to lower our price point. No one cares if they are a pioneer in anything, if those innovations are not adopted across the product line.
This. No excuse for making the base headlights this poor.
