Adaptive Light Control
Say I have the light switch in position 3 (Automatic headlamp control,...) and select high beams. When a car approaches and has their headlamps my high beams should automatically switch to low beams and back to high beams after the on-coming car passes. Correct?
When this happens does the high beam indicator, on the dash, turn off and on when this happens or does the indicator remain on indicating high beams? |

I think your confusing "highbeam assist" with auto headlights.
All 135i's have automatic headlights (you have to turn the headlight switch CC(left)). Highbeam assist was an extra option. It will show up in your instrument panel. highbeam assist icon... see this thread for more info... http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=637210

Since you don't have "highbeam assist" lets talk about the "auto" mode of the headlight switch...
Not only will your headlights turn on automatically when it gets dark or traveling thru say a tunnel... but it will also allow your xenon headlights to follow the steering wheel inputs. All US spec 135i's have AHL (adaptive head lights) so when in the auto mode the headlights will turn left and right as you turn the steering wheel. Also the inner lamps will light up for extra cornering illumination. When you turn the headlights on MANUALLY, your AHL are set static - straight ahead position. In the AUTO mode they will move left/right. This is why I always leave my headlights in the "auto mode".

I noticed that I have a light on the back of the mirror. Is there a way I could activate the highbeam asset function? |

How can you tell if you have this? I'm in the UK, so I'm not sure if mine has it or not. I have a 2009 135i (N54) with Xenons and auto headlights. I always wondered if mine "moved" at all.

For the rest of the world(RoW) bmw also offered non-AHL Xenon unit. Here are some pics of the two Xenon headlights and how you can tell them apart... AHL Xenons... non AHL Xenons... and another thread that might be of interest... Headlight different for the US market? http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=564270
