You definitely need adaptive headlights and lots of cameras. So you headlights don't turn with the steering wheel?
None of the US spec LCI g30s come with turning lights unfortunately.
Mine do

I thought it is called adaptive headlights. All M550's have it. I thought they all do but could be wrong.

LCIs don't swivel, it's an odd step back. When I had my 17 in for service I drove an LCI for a few weeks, headlights were crap versus the ICON LEDs.

Mandingo9 I tagged him for you here, but he is more active on Bimmerfest if you are a member over there. Good luck.

What software aside from the remote desktop do you require people to install for remote coding?

As long as you can disable Windows firewall, all you need is TeamViewer (+ VPN plug-in). Then, I can configure connection and run software from my system.
