Laser headlight question.

Looks like my 40i is at the dealer. Arrived today! I live close by so I decided to get a look at it.

The other X7s on the lot all had a blue part under each of the four headlights. Mine does not?

I asked the dealer what that was and he said the blue bar comes with the laser lights. They come with the executive package.

I have the executive package but don't have the little blue part.

I'll include a picture. Not taking delivery until next Tuesday.

Doesn't look to be part of the Executive Pkg for a 40i.

I might be mistaken, but I don't think you can get them on an X7 40i. They are standard on the M50i.

The blue part does look kind of cool, but we don't get the full functionality of Laser Lights in the US anyway, so I wouldn't be too down about it.

That's correct.

For model year 2020:
552 Adaptive LED headlights is standard on xDrive40i and xDrive50i.

5AZ Icon Adaptive LED headlights with Laserlight is standard on M50i and only available on M50i.

5AZ is not available on xDrive40i or xDrive50i and not included in ZPX Executive Package for the two models.

For model year 2019:
552 Adaptive LED headlights was standard on xDrive40i and xDrive50i.

5AZ was only available on xDrive50i when optioned with ZPX Executive Package.

I have a 2019 40i. I wanted to order them. I ordered mine mid May 2019 and laser lights weren't available at all. The m50i wasn't available in this country as of yet though.

Yeah, as others stated before, the lasers are only on the M50i.

Confusing setup

I came across this one on YouTube and what made me wonder is how did he manage lasers headlights on a 40i and yes it's US specs.
I tried so hard to get it on a custom build 40i but all in vain.

They changed the option for Laser Lights on the 2020 model year. They were available on the x40i on the 2019 models but the option for Laser Lights was removed for the 2020 x40i models. It really pissed me off when I found out about that.

Hmm is it safe to say then it's simply plug and code ?

There's another discussion on this on the X5 Forum here. https://g05.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...t=Laser+Lights. Different headlights on the X5 but I imagine the same issues with coding apply to the X7.

If I recall correctly, there was only a small window on the MY19 (I believe right at the beginning of production) where you could get the lasers on the 40i, too. Soon after that, they first stated a supply-issue and in the middle of MY19, they amended the order-guide. And of course for MY20, they were never an option on the 40i.

Sure wish the sales manager didn't spend so much time telling me how much I am going to like them 😂

LOL!

Call me crazy, but the lasers were actually a SMALL deciding-factor for me to go for the M50i..

Take the opportunity to upgrade to the EU headlights. Better functionality and you can sell them after you're done with the vehicle.

How and where do you get those ?
And can you actually add laser EU ones to the 40i?

I have part numbers for both sides.
Aspherical. Heated. Anti-Dazzle.
Is that what you need?
