BMW 135i Adaptive Headlights

[MichaelB450]

Very cool. I wonder if the Infiniti G37 Coupes have his.

[Doma111222333]

is this option a no brainer? or is it more like personal preference? I seems it might not be as useful as it could be and maybe distracting?

[jeremyc74]

@Doma111222333 It's a no brainer as far as I'm concerned, at least if you live in a rural area. You don't notice it much in the city, but it's great where there are no street lights. I'd pick this option every time in the future. It's honestly even better in person than it is in the video, and not at all distracting. The lights are always right where your eyes are going on winding roads.

This could be potentially dangerous as it lead to drivers thinking, "hey i can see furthur ahead so it's ok for me to drive faster". proof of point: 80mph in a pitch black tiny patch of twisty tarmac.

[Senninha1960]

@newcomer9747 What a pathetic comment!! They provide better vision, period.. dont go off thinking up such bull shit, realy! Are you a pollitician?

[newcomer9747]

@Senninha1960 yea they provide better vision, did i say otherwise? read again bitch. good luck for the next election.

[cooperonline]

@Senninha1960 Agree, he's got no idea at all.

[alexgonick]

Was that turbo I heard under acceleration? Sweet ride

[wtfyourafuckindoosh]

wow i think for a while that would really freak me out. sweet feature!

[paintballgundown8]

i smiled, If i had to drive those roads i would never get a car that didnt have that

[TwinDusks]

The way you drive is orgasmic;)

[RSReLoaD514]

This is so cool. I have a new Skoda Superb 2010 with a v6 enginge, 3.6l, 260hp, with the same technology of lighting. Is awful, it help you alot :)

[huffy15]

Is it deer proof?

[Individual750]

Which year?

[wncheeta]

looks really bright with xenon. I have 2010 E90 with xenon picked it from Munich on European Delivery. Good Video..

[bignicky88]

i just have plain self leveling bi-xenons on a merc and theres no going back to halogen. whenever i'm in someone elses car i wonder how they could see with such dull lights. adaptive lights are a step up again.

and the self levelling motors work so quickly that the beam hardly ever raises in to the sight of on coming traffic.

[maxou5757]

Very nice feature ! I have this on my Volkswagen Tiguan and GTI.

[lambchopxoxo]

thanks for this it helped. i wish i had them on mine.

[range373]

I've had a few loners when my 7 series is in the shop and they had these there awesome I love them

[fusion01wp]

Nice but can't help think you're going a little fast on what looks like a thin road... not you I'm bothered about - you seem to not care, it's the on-coming...

[jeremyc74]

It was late at night, I could easily see oncoming traffic, the road is rarely used, and I was in my lane most of the time, espeically anywhere I couldn't see far ahead of me. I wasn't even breaking the speed limit on most of the video.

[Poppa232323]

thats sick bro, ive been waitin 4 weeks for mine, 2 more to go, sweet vid

[alpsalish]

The lights are a just a wee bit slow at speed, but still awesome. In a few years these will be perfect!

[T4R06]

nice video man.. almost on the redline hahahha.

i have 135i too and its haul a**!!!!

[NaziJuice]

so do they turn with the wheel or whenever they feel like it ?

[jeremyc74]

They turn with the wheel. There are also sensors on the front and rear suspension so the system can tell when the nose is diving under hard braking and they stay level. Also, if you're moving slow and hit the turn signal the inside light on that side comes on to light up where you're turning.

[dalesteel]

i have got bi-xenons on my 5 series but not adaptive.Myself I think i would spend my money on xenons rather than adaptive. Unless i have 2k to through away and ill have both lol.

[p3rider08]

They wont level under braking and hard accelration they wil adjust if the car is loaded (somethin in the trunk). As far as them moving with the signal that is true if your taking a right in your case but not for the left so it wont blind the poor bastard on the other side of the intersection.

[jeremyc74]

These lights absolutely do level under braking and acceleration. The movement to the right is only restricted at low speeds, and when the lights are on dim. If you're moving fast or have them on bright they will turn much further left.

[jormad2002]

cool vid!!!!

[jreyes30]

do you have the high beams on cause u can't even see the cutoff from the projectors!?

[jeremyc74]

The high beams were on the whole time. There's no cutoff because the 135i uses the projectors for high and low. The inside lamps only come on while turning, or when you're in reverse.

[jburi01]

Excellent vid dude. This really show how they work, not like those tv commerials!!! Good job.

[coltonryan42]

I have the same ones on my 335i. and there great, but just driving in the city i didn't even notice how much they could turn.

[d3syd]

wow that's fantastic.  Makes me wish I ordered them on my car.

[x97reiter]

i have the 135i also...i dont' know if my headlights are that dramatic.....the video is sweet....i gotta pay more attention to mine i guess

[jeremyc74]

Thanks. The headlights aren't really all that noticable until you're on a twisty road like that one. Also, they're on bright in the video. I don't think they move as much on dim, and don't turn to the left as much either, I'm assuming so they don't blind oncoming cars.

[rainzoro]

Thats amazing!!!! im from 1addicts. ordered a space grey 135i too!

anyway I now understood what adaptive headlight means. that is wicked sick and I have never seen that technology before!

[kiparey]

good demo

[jeremyc74]

Thanks!
