If it helps a bit, I can tell you that the cornering lights on the X7 make a far smaller impact than those on the Q7. You have to really focus on watching them coming on.

All joking aside, I love this forum. In the end, we're all driving a great SUV. It's just nice to be able to compare and learn and complain. I narrowed my choices down to the Aviator, the GLS and the X7. In all honesty, I would have been happy with any one of them... and found things I didn't like in any one of them too. Like finding the perfect girlfriend. Is it even possible? Yet there's a lot of great women out there! 😝

I was wondering about this... when i turn my steering wheel right, I do noticed the movement of the beam pattern but when you turn left, it goes center but doesn't go beyond that. But the movement is so slow to even matters IMO

So i was just in with BMW dropping off some paperwork and there was an X7 with the LED lights and it had the cornering lights. I am picking up my X7 in two weeks time and i have ordered just the LED lights so i will confirm this then.

Yes--been confirmed by finding a 2020 40i here in the USA with the B&W. You would think that would be fixed by now. Has been wrong since the 2020 MY started in Aug/September.

Here in the US, ALL 40i models come with standard LED headlights that don't have cornering lights. I have a 2020 X7 40i with the standard LED headlights and I don't have cornering lights. You can't even order the Laser Lights on a 40i model here in the US. |

My X7 hasn't been built yet so I can't check it myself, but has anyone checked if BMW is using the fog lights for cornering lights on the 40i? I know on my wife's X3, the fog lights are used as cornering lights. When you have the turn signal on, or are below a certain speed and turn your wheel to the left or right, the fog light on that side will turn on and light up the corner of the road.

I dont know why it is different in the US. In the uk you can order the laser lights on the 40i and the cornering lights are standard on the led lights.

archaic dot laws regarding lighting assemblies and distribution.
for those with fog lights have you checked to see if they act as cornering lights?

Unless the US DOT laws related to headlights changes, it's unlikely that laser lights will be available for the 40i. Hard for them to justify the cost when they have to dumb it down for the US so you don't get the benefits of the laser lights.
Write to the powers that be, and urge them to get the decades old DOT laws for headlights updated. |
