Your x3 has conner light?

Just bought x3 35i in Canada, not sure the car has conner light? For my friend's 335i when you turn the wheel, an additional light will turn on automatically. Just like the pic shows, what is the right light for? Never see this light worked.

I don't have it. BMW Canada let us down for the adaptive headlights, also.
Maybe with the Premium package ? My non-Premium doesn't even have the electric folding side mirrors (!)

not the X3...

other owners say that the adaptive headlights aren't THAT different in a safety viewpoint from the standard xenons...

and judging by how BMW Canada treats Canadian buyers, the price of the X3 would go up if they add the adaptive headlights OR the cornering lights on the 2012 models

Yes, my X35i has both adaptive xenons and the electric folding mirrors. There is also a deluxe lighting package that is part of the premium package. I believe the lights under the door handles (very nice) may be part of some package. As usual, BMW's manual does not indicate which feature is part of what package.

I have all packages and yet no corner lights and no adaptive lights; not on the Canadian model, I guess. It was a disappointment because I only learned about it after ordering the car. Maybe in the 2012 models? On the other hand, I prefer this to not having the iDrive screen like it happens somewhere else...

Adaptive headlights aren't standard in the UK. You only get them as part of a package that costs about $2700 and includes xenons, main beam assist and folding mirrors. Can't think of a situation when I've ever thought adaptive headlights would be useful but then I've owned a car with them.

No adaptive headlights in Canada for now. I'm in the US and I have them, and the inner bulb does nothing on the X3, contrary to the 3 and 5, but the foglight below is the corner illuminator light in addition to the swivel motor adaptive xenons. When you turn, then that foglight turns on, as well as when you put your turn signal on. When reversing, both foglights turn on. When you press the foglight button, however, they stay on and do not change when turning, as they are on constantly when you've selected for them to be.

This is my experience as a US owner.
