A stock US LEDs spec is bad, it is aimed so far on the ground you cannot see anything after where your lights are aimed at, especially if there is no ambient lighting. A Euro Spec LED changes that enough where you can actually see things around it, especially with Auto high beams you can see hell of a lot more then what US spec has.
The difference between a stock US LED and EU Spec LED is pretty big. Not to mention if you high beam a LED, you pretty much blind the opposite on coming traffic. The point of all of this is that BMW isn't adjusting their LEDs correct for US, it is fine for EU but it isn't for the US. US is pointed too far on the ground and most people that don't follow the forums or care, won't know about coding the LED headlights differently.
It is dangerous in suburban areas and US have plenty of that. You will be surprised how low light some places in the US have.
Edit: This is as much about how BMW's US Spec LEDs are pointed to the ground as how your eyes work at night. Either BMW themselves missed a step or they don't know how bad the US LEDs they have happens to be.

This is due to US regulations that require bad headlights.
