I don't think so. I think the ones in the video is showing anti dazzle effect.

Found this online.

Introduced in 2003 - BMW adaptive headlights system ensures the headlights follow the curve of the road, especially useful at night where there are no street lamps.

Introduced in 2005 - High-beam Assist automatically detects the presence of other cars and switches back to dipped beam, then reverting to high beam once the other vehicle has passed, or been passed.

Introduced in 2006 - BMW Night Vision uses Far Infra Red technology to detect heat-emitting objects further up the road than the headlights could reach, providing early warning of pedestrians, or uniquely in Australia, roaming wildlife such as kangaroos, and helping to prevent animal strikes.

Introduced in 2007 - Variable Light Distribution technology varies the shape of the illumination cast by the headlamp, depending on driving conditions. The aim is to enhance safety at various speeds, on different types of roads at night, or in poor weather.
