Laser headlights?

Anyone used these? Please give us your 2 cents. As far as I understand only the high beams are laser. BMW claims laser doesn't dazzle oncoming traffic, does that mean that the auto high-beam function leaves the laser high-beams on when passing by oncoming cars?

As I understand it, the laserlight will only work when the auto high beam function is activated and only over 60 km/h (38 mph). And the laser will dim with the high beam.

They are cool but I don't think they are worth the money

I believe they're very expensive on the i8, but on the G11/12 they're only fraction of the price.

I don't believe they have ever been available on the G12 in the US.
