Is there any possibility of coding the LMA to turn on the low beam ONLY AFTER the engine starts?
I saw this option even on low cost cars such as Chevrolet Aveo.
In my ex-car (VW Passat) i built an electronic module that made this work.

I assume that in BMW it's much easier, by simply changing any coding.

In E90 and E60, the low beam (Xenon or halogen) does not come on before engine on. Only the DRL (Corona / halogen hi-beam) comes on before engine on.

In my E60 (LCI, 2008, adaptive xenon headlights), the low beam comes on even if i just turn the ignition on (and headlight switch is in "AUTO" or "headlight on" position). It's no need to start the engine.

It pisses me off.
If it's very cold and it feeds the glow plugs for 4-5 seconds, it also maintaines the headlights turned on.
I don't like this.
