Yes, and it's a sick feature! I have it on my 2018 M550 for reference.

I'm not 100% sure, they are both "included" on my build. See the image below. I think you need both honestly for it to "assist".

You should have it. Look at the end of the headlight stalk and you'll see a couple of buttons. Press the lower button and you'll see a newly illuminated 'idiot' light on the dash that looks like a headlight with an A next to it.

yes...you have it. You Maroney shows both automatic headlights and adaptive lights. What I find is that you have to set the light switch at the auto setting and press the button on the stalk to get everything working.

This is how auto high beam (aka high beam assist) works in the US market:

I just wish there was a way to code the feature to be on at all times. I haven't found a way to do that yet.

I agree. I can't figure out why BMW makes it something you have to press. It makes more sense to just have it always on with a turn off switch if someone doesn't want to use it.

Strangely, on some iDrive 7 models it is on all the time but in iDrive 7 ‘lite’ in the G30 it isn’t. I had a loan 840d and once selected it was always on and on another forum an X5 driver said the same thing.

Haha I saw, Summer 19 NHTSA finally started doing some testing for US Market, considering how awful most headlights are rated across all manuf. in US I'm surprised there's so much idiocy around not allowing a feature like this.

Over the winter we drove to Breckendridge CO and that was the only time this feature had any value to me... too bad we were in our 4x4 while 540 was sitting at home
personally i think this feature has little value |

It works exceptionally well, but I have to agree that it has no value to me because I live in the Houston suburbs. I very seldom drive where there is no traffic coming at me for more than a few seconds.
