So I didn't raise the issue with BMW Service but my 2023 X7 picked up a giant nail and I took it in for the tire to be replaced, and they said there was a recall for the headlights and a software update. I got the car back this afternoon and was pleasantly surprised to see that iDrive 8 is now running firmware version 07/2022.59 (if I remember correctly) AND whatever they did ENABLED the anti-dazzle feature of the headlights and it was selectively turning on/off different beams of lights while driving on the highway in the middle of San Antonio with plenty of traffic around me.
The low beam pattern still funny but clearly BMW is doing some updates to the headlights via new software, albeit slowly.
BMW announced a new OTA update on Oct 11th but my car hadn't received it yet and got it while being serviced. |
Thanks. Good to hear. I sent a email to corporate. They called me today and kind of admitted it was an issue but still said working as designed. |
Yeah the variable light distribution pattern isn't active yet and they don't swivel nearly as much as previous headlights had when turning (the movement now is barely noticeable), but it looks like they are working on it. I imagine that if they fully enabled the variable light distribution code of the adaptive headlights it would solve the problem since the pattern would change depending on light conditions. Let's see if that's something that eventually gets turned on by BMW as part of a long term solution.
