Thanks for the clarification.
I wonder if the overlap has to do with the Canadian market. As they allowed this starting in 2018 or something in that range. So the Canadian cars no longer are decoded and from my understanding use the same parts on the G30 as the US ones for headlights. Due to the small size of the Canadian market BMW probably found it cheaper to use the same light as the US with purely software versus doing two separate "NA" parts since Canada is also BMWNA.
But I am just a customer so no idea how they are doing it in reality.
