It can be done. I did in in my F30 335i with adaptive HID.

It is much simpler than LEDs because you have 1 low beam on each side vs 2 on each (LED)

Also Adaptive LEDs have a lot more features than the Adaptive HID, which make things more complicated. If i recall correctly it adapts to your surround lights and your speed.

for LED, there is a noticeable difference in light spread between when i am driving 80mph on the highway vs. 25mph in city street.
The number of low beams on Adaptive LED (which is more than two per side actually) doesn't make the vertical alignment any more difficult per say since both chambers are sitting on a vertical alignment chassis. Only the outer chambers can be adjusted horizontally.

Unless you've coded to enable Variable Light Distribution, there is no change in distribution pattern for US Adaptive LED's based on speed. The only change supported is with fog lamps on, or if the rain sensor activates the wipers above a certain wipe rate.
