Very helpful, I am presuming that the figures are a running total rather than numbers taxed each quarter?

Next to find a site that gives colour breakdowns?

I believe my vin indicates I have it?

I think if you have this there should be an auto setting on the light switch. Once it is set to auto I think flashing the high beam lights activates high beam assist and high beam will then come on automatically in certain circumstances like a B road with no lights if there are no other cars around. They will automatically switch off if another car is detected in front of you and then back on when there is no cars.
Thanks. Last night I tried that - nothing seems to happen. Tried switching on and holding on "on position" for over 3s or so to see if that somehow enables the mode - nothing seemed to happen 🤷‍♂️

Cheers
I have it in the X6 and the light switch must be turned to auto then the high beam must be either flashed or put on and this brings on a light in the dash to say its activated. The high beam will only really come on if you are on an unlit road with no cars in front of you or coming towards you. Sometimes road signs reflecting can switch it off too.

Re the high beam assist, you need to make sure it’s activated and then you need to pull the stalk as if you’re putting high beams on but pull it usually until you see the wee symbol on the dash. Unfortunately you need to reactivate it every drive.

BMW have since changed this system with a simple push of a button on the indicator stalk. Just a shame it wasn’t like that for the E89.

Thanks for the detailed info - perhaps I was too impatient (and roads were busy, although I did wait for empty, dark bits of road)

I'll try again tomorrow!

Cheers

Ideally set the system before you set off and then it should work it’s magic and remember to hold your nerve, it will dim the high beam. It’s sometimes tempting to toggle it off before if switches off.
