I thought that the inner lights were used as the high beam flash only (stick back)due to the fact that Xenons do not heat up quickly enough for intermittent use as a high beam. No?

That wwould support the cornering light claim.

On US LCI cars (MY 2008+) with the Xenon lights, the inner lights are the cornering lights as described. On 2007 and earlier models the inner lights (US) were the flash to pass lights...

My Ride: 2008 520d LCI. HUD, active lights + high beam assistant, panoramic sunroof, manual gbox, grey leather and navi professional. It's a nice car with an impressive engine.

My xenons are used as high beam flash. Mine is an LCI. They seem to heat up quite quickly!
Inner lights used for cornering only.

for bi-xenon, pull blinker lever towards you to flash halogen high beams. push forward to turn on xenon high bean
