My X1 doesn't have the throw of the 3 series, ok they aren't laser lights so perhaps that's to be expected.
The real issue is that the high beam assist doesn't seem to do anything even though the icon is lit up on the dashboard. At no point did the main beam activate during my 50 mile drive even though it should have at several opportunities. Manually using main beam over-rides this but when returning to normal beam, the assist function is deactivated and can only be turned on again through the touchscreen menu which seems so counter intuitive compared to a 4 year old model.
The second part is that the adaptive headlights don't seem to do anything. My 3 series had the lights dancing all over the road and kept high beam on for a significant amount of time, tracking the lights away from oncoming traffic and cars in front as it should do. What is going on?

Have to agree, had an x3 loaner for a month and when I finally got my car back I noticed the lights don’t throw nearly ss much light or seem as adaptive as the x3.
The loaner didn’t have laser lights but the standard bmw led on those definitely throw more light and illuminate better.
