My other car (F80 M3) also has the adaptive LED lights and I noticed this a lot at first there too, now I might only get it if I happened to be catching someone at a bad angle. This was also certainly the case when I had my first factory halogen lights on a new car 20 years ago, or really probably for every new car I have had since that point.
Obviously lights have become brighter, with wider angles, and have been a bluer light over the last several years, however, I can't say these lights are currently much different than the M3 other than the shape and height. So is it just me, or is there some combination of the lights leveling more, scratches on the lenses, and perhaps some literal dimming of the intensity of the light over say the first 5000 miles that makes me less annoying to others?

It is because the low beams are a 4 headlight system so when people see 4 headlights on they assume you have your brights on. the high beams just add to that
