"Anti-dazzle" lights questions...

Not really clear about what they are and how they come implemented in these cars.

I believe they have something to do with being able to leave your brights on without blinding drivers of oncoming traffic. So does this mean you can leave your brights on constantly at night? Seems odd.

Also the wording on the feature and build sheets says something about this feature being "pre- wired" or "pre-coded."
Does this mean that it's not fully operational when we get the car? That something else needs to be done to make it function?

I'm confused. Can anyone shed further light on exactly what this is and whether owners have to do something else to make it operational following delivery?

In my car it is on high beam/brights modus permanently. Oncoming traffic doesn’t get blinded or dazzled. Functions really well.
PS of course one can turn it off to normal if you want, but there’s no reason to.
PPS once you enter a city or town with street lights and you drive slower than 60 km/h it switches automatically to normal light.

Top speed 229 km/h …BMW M (!) really? Even a Golf GTD diesel is faster (245 km/h)

Are you located in the US or Europe? After poking around a bit it's my understanding that this technology has not yet been approved by the NTSB for use in the USA.

In Europe (The Netherlands). The situation in the US apparently is quite different. Maybe some of our US form members can help you out.

*Mercedes-AMG EQE 43 4Matic 469 hp, top speed 210 km/h.
*Mercedes-AMG EQE 53 4Matic+.617 hp, top speed 220 km/h.

Should be battery charge conservation issues

Really astonishing EPA numbers for the B58 6 cylinder engine.

Three mpg better than the current G30 540ix.

2024 540i xDrive with B58 Engine - Most Efficient BMW Six-Cylinder Ever?

The 2024 BMW 540i powered by the B58 engine gets 26 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highways, or a combined figure of 28 mpg
