My understanding is BMW Adaptive Lights are inferior to MB offering, but we don't get either one fully fleshed out here in the US so few have any first hand comparison experience.

Either way, I wouldn't go with the base headlights if the fully adaptive aren't standard in the UK. As I think you'll be disappointed entirely. Additionally, I would test drive the car and be sure it is fully adaptive as I didn't see steering adaptation on a MY2021 loaner I had which is a major step back IMHO. I don't know if that is an unwritten change for BMW or if it is due to component shortages...
I totally missed that, typical American, assume everyone is from here😉
