From the E90 Catalogue, it seemed that the 2011 E90 has new adaptive headlight function :





Anyone with the adaptive headlights care to share how they work? -- It works great!

Or is it all just a gimmick?

Adaptive headlights aren't new...

Diagram 1: you turn the wheel to the right, the lens in the projector turns too so your headlight follows the curve

Diagram 2: you turn on your signal or crank your wheel at low speeds, the cornering light turns on so you can see where you're turning

Diagram 3: low beams

Diagram 4: high beams

Sorry wasn't clear about the new function. Diagram 3 shows when it is being driven at low speed, while diagram 4 is when it is at higher speed.

Diagram 4 is not the high beam.

So essentially the beam throw is being adjusted based on speed.
