Nice video that explains most of the features much better than I did of the Icon adaptive LED lights but leaves out a few so to add;

-variable light distribution: urban driving, low beam illumination is extended to the sides automatically at speeds below 30 or when braking below 25 mph. Motorway, width of the low beam pattern is increased (not to the immediate sides but further up at edges) at speeds above 68 mph for 30 seconds or more OR if speed > 87 mph at all (where legal ) and remains so until speed drops below 50 mph.

-some videos also show light distribution (not only splitting the beam) actively reduces in size or increases with oncoming traffic. So the right headlight will not only actively split and move to the right further to not bling the oncoming car but also dynamically shorten as the vehicle approaches and then then eventually switch off high beam altogether on that side when it reaches a minimum range to be reactivated once car is past and then dynamically ‘grows’ a bit as well.

Very cool features we’ll all have!

-frickin lasers: only i8 and 7 have them currently! You’ll need them in the 760 with the acceleration you’ll have!
Yeah in fairness the video is a little old. I think it dates back even to when I had a Xenon lights that did the tricks in the video. Either way though it does give you a nice idea of it.

Don't forget to switch it on though 325_bucks. Not sure if it's moved on the new sticks but it's the bottom of 2 buttons on the end of the left stick on my M5. The top button changes the little trip computer screen. It's one of those things that if you don't read the manual or know you might easily miss it and just think all you get is turning headlights.

I suspect in the UK the lasers won't turn on that often with it's requirements that nothing else is about. I might need to get that coded out otherwise how am I ever going to be able to slice other cars into two

Yes, mine is also on left stalk bottom of two buttons, 325_bucks is likely also there but worth looking. You’ll get an adaptive light showing on dash and separate high beam when that comes on.

Lasers come on quite a bit actually! ^

The button is in the same place on my 6 but I have a feeling it might have changed as well on the latest cars, not sure though. I'll check it out on Saturday as I'll be at the dealers again

Be careful, they might get a restraining order against you if you go and drool over their cars too often
