I wonder if it will ever be possible to retrofit either the latest iDrive or full adaptive high beam assist?

The iDrive must be just a case of the latest software and an iDrive controller with the touch pad plus the console trim to fit it.

Adaptive high beam assist may be more difficult, it depends on the way the technology is implemented. I suppose it's vaguely possible that it's just software, both for the light position recognition and moving the individual lenses. It may require software and camera/sensor updates, but as the lenses in the light units themselves are all movable it would be disappointing (and very expensive!) if they required upgrading too.
