Its an option that has to be enabled by the dealer; cars sold in the UK ( and I suspect the EU ) are disabled because it requires a change in the law to allow for BFD. Type Approval regs don't permit BFD type lights.
The rule changes were/are supposed to be imminent, but neither my wifes' M3 convertible? ( 8 weeks old ) nor my 535d ( 4 weeks old ) have BFD enabled. I've tried both with an 'emergency stop' from 30MPH, no BFD.
Dealer won't switch the feature on, he says because of Type Approval.....

All E60s in the EU produced after January 2004 have BFD activated.

Thats good info....I guess this means back to the dealer, BFD definitely not working on mine.....I just hope I don't need a software upgrade....BFD gets fixed, something else stops working....

My Ride: 2008 535i: June 6th start build, complete June 17th, at NY Port July 5th, at dealer July 10th, took delivery Friday July 13- Plantimum Bronze/Natural Brown Leather/Light Poplar, Sport Package, Sport Auto, Active Steering, Premium Package, CWP & PDC. Dinan Performance Software 384hp & 421 ft/lbs.
Mine is a March 12, 2004 build- USA car. I have tried numerous times, apply the brake hard so tires chirp and ABS is engaged and many other stopping configurations- The supposedly additional lights never came on. I have had numerous software updates since and I think I am running v16.2 or something close, so maybe it works now but now I don't care anymore.
