Top Safety Pick+ is only for cars with Executive Package. Cars without laser headlights gets a poorer rating.

For the record guys IIHS does NOT test the actual lasers only the LEDs despite what it says. I emailed them about the X5's laser lights and their response is below.

Mine were so low I was crushed driving home from a dealer. I was basically outrunning the light on the highway. Came home and read all about it on F30 forums, grabbed a screwdriver and 5-6 turns later on each side they’re brilliant. |

"The midsize luxury car is available with three headlight options that offer a range of performance. The optional curve-adaptive headlights that come with the Executive package earn a good rating in IIHS tests. This headlight option also features high-beam assist, a system that automatically switches between high beams and low beams, depending on the presence of other vehicles. The car's base headlights — static LED projectors — earn a poor rating, while the optional curve-adaptive lights sold with the Convenience package rate marginal."

Also the LEDs in the laser assembly are different than the normal full LED versions even with the laser high beams off. This has been beaten to death in the X5 forums so I'm posting it here to avoid the same thing here

The true beauty of BMW LED headlights is after you code in the anti-dazzle feature.
It's amazing |

I don't get how a crash test can be influenced by a headlight type vs another type. I can understand that the car will be more visible and the driver will be able to see better, but when a crash occur, the type of light will make no difference for the safety of the driver or the passengers!
