Not a clue what you just siad

Can you elaborate how the 2020 M8 laser is completely different in functionality from a 2021 M5?
US market M8, the Laser SHB (Supplementary High Beam) is number 6 in the graphic and is incorporated together with the LED High Beam, and does not add to the total number of light emitting devices. By definition under FMVSS 108, these combination headlamps do not exceed the permissible maximum of 2 forward light emitting devices per side.



On the G30/F90 LCI, it's an independent multi-function dynamic lighting module in addition to the two LED projectors, making a total of 3 forward light emitting devices per side and thus, non-compliant. Other non-conformities exist, but that's the simplest one.
