Thanks Surgx5 for your post.
Btw, I've just noticed the car does not come with LED headlights. I am wondering if I can ask BMW to retrofit them instead of doing it myself (probably would void any extended warranty?). What is the difference between the OEM and LED apart from the obvious energy efficiency? I am not sure this car would have auto cornering option included if not standard as I've read the LED headlight come with auto cornering on some models.
One other thing the dealer has offered ceramic coat paint protection as part of the valeting process. Apparently it helps with traffic dirt & grime, extremes of temperature, plant and tree sap, atmospheric pollutants and ultraviolet exposure. The said they would do it for £495 first time. It would have to be done every after 5 years. Anyone has any experience with that?
Last but not least I noticed the car does not have AUTO option on the dipped beam. I suspect this could be on the 0 option as found on the other posts but could not verify it during test drive. Would you know if this would the case and dipped beam would be auto switched on after sunset? I understand that AUTO full beam is out of question here.
Mine is number 1 on the diagram below:
