Are the standed LED headlights, matriix led's

I am considering a new UK spec 2023 M4 Competition Cabriolet.

Are the standard LED headlights, the matrix style that can keeps the headlights on main beam but can switch off certain LED’s to avoid blinding other drivers. Or do they just change to dip when another car is noticed?

I know the upgraded visibility pack, laser lights will do something similar however I’m just wondering about the standard LED headlights.

The standard LEDs are adaptive so Dip and turn but don’t alter the beam pattern for oncoming cars from memory.

As Tubes23 says. BMW tech is different to the way VAG implement matrix lights on Audi etc. They are adaptive in so far that they hide the beam from oncoming traffic but I believe they use a mechanical approach.

Laser lights are being discontinued and MY24+ will implement a matrix set up similar to the G20 LCI.

Any idea why they are being discontinued? Cost saving or issues?

Suggestion was that the Laser Lights tech is now surpassed by the BMW Matrix Light.
