Can you get adaptive Xenons as an aftermarket add on. I ordered my car thinking that I didn't want Xenons but I've changed my mind.

I don't think there is no retrofit for adaptive xenon. Only way to get is aftermarket HID.

Here is thread about xenon lights

According to the BMW extras brochure 2005 Xenon+Adaptive Lights are availlable for the retrofit though it says you shud consult with your BMW Service Partner about the price and possibilities.

May be it's available in Europe only? My delear told me they can not retrofit adaptive xenon. Only in factory install. I am not sure, if my delear has latest update. so I recommand to call your local delear if this is available.

I think they might be in preparation because for many other parts (inclusive additional
Xenon Highbeam lights Order NO 63 13 0 307 563 for EUR 770) they give part NO and the price but there they just say as above.
It could be worse if it is a case like with M5 mirrors. Check this thread:

In Finland adaptive head lights can be installed at price 2090,-?, order number 63 13 0 304 783.

This information is from "Original BWM aftermarket accessorys 2004" catalog.
