I'm feeling generous today, here are the four broad categories of xenons:
1) straight xenon
2) gay xenon
3) bixenon (what BMW uses)
4) bi-curious xenon

One Xenon on each side of the car
Seriously, it's Xenon that automatically adapts the height of the beams.

I hope you're kidding

The BiXenon option is only in the Dynamic adaptive headlights??

The light adjusts its height when you turn on the high beam...

The Halogen is just a supplement...

No. It's standard with Xenon. It's only for the height. It means it adapts automatically to the weight you have in the car (it's similar to the manual setting you have for the height of the beams, but here it's automatic).

"Dynamic adaptive headlights" means the xenon beams turn to the right or the left when you turn the wheel (the beams follow the direction of the car).

+1

its high and low beam from one bulb in each housing. the e90 does this.

the inside set of halogen lights illuminate the inside of a curve while turning (and the xenons also turn). stand in front of your car and have someone flick the high's and then turn the wheel to either side and you will see.

i think halogens only light up curves on the coupe, but not on the sedan.

[imaznumkay]

push down on the highbeam/turn signal lever....you'll see the difference

uh, no. That's the self-leveling feature of the xenon.

Bixenon refers to the fact that you get both high beam and low beam xenon.

It's actually linked. The self-leveling uses the same system as the high-beam/low-beam of the BiXenon.

Yeah, Bi means it swings both ways.

Yup, bi as in one on each side.
Switching to high beam will open up the 'cut-off' in the projector.
