While on holiday i picked up a accessory brochure that seems to be printed in Germany. Its probably the most comprehensive book I've seen till date, the UK brochure is probably half the size.
Some of the new things I read about were.
1. Additional Xenon main beam headlights: These apparently are for cars without the Xenon headlights and they replace the front fogs with Xenons which light up with the headlights.
2. Turning/Fog lights : These combine the turning and fog lights in a single system and the turn lights come out automatically when the driver turns off or takes a sharp corner.
3. Indepdent Heating : You can switch on the heating of the car remotely via a remote control or a ThermoCall ?? picture of a mobile phone is displayed - so I'm guessing a call type function.
4. Storgage and Drinks holder module : These replace the skibag module with some more functional comparents or drinks holder.
5. Textile bag: A bag that fits to the pocket behind the seats.
You learn something new each day. Has anyone else got these.

Not sure about that lights coming out?? either.
I know when I take turns the projector lights turns.
Or when I am at a stop and turn my wheel to the
right the lights also move ,but only to the right at
a stop. And only left and right when the car is in
motion.

There are many good/excellent options/accessories in BMW Cars/SAVs ,one can check on bmw.com(international /euro sites).
But many of them are not for USA , do not know why?
I love few of them (like car warmup by remote, DVD,and headrest TV screens for rear passengers...so on....)
