I'm sure I saw some listed with pack which didn't have them. Could that be due to the silicon shortage, or simply a mistake by the dealer?
If you're looking at AUC, there are unlikely to be mistakes (although it's possible) as the AUC website just pulls the specs through from the VIN.
The best thing to do to understand specs is look at the brochure, I've found one dated July 2020 (so it may differ slightly on 2019 models): https://www.carparisonleasing.co.uk/files/b64/BMW X5 Brochure July20.pdf
It looks like Laserlights (Page 26) are an additional cost but still part of the visibility pack. So yes, it's possible to have the pack and not have them! So the pack is £650, but jumps to £2000 if you want Lasers (or £1350 on an M50i/d).
Great find, thanks! Explains why I'm seeing some without them.

M3 going?
I was looking for a friend actually, he's looking for a tow car for his GT4.M3 going?
However - https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/range-rover-l405-experiences.18972093/post-37670226
I am also weighing up options.

Valid reasoning. Try and get the most out of it though as I think you'd really miss it.
Or, if able to, get another Tiguan or something for your daily driving? Essentially, find a way to keep it as it's quite a special M3.
I'm considering all options. I've just been browsing C8 RS6's.

I mean that is an option, but... Audi? I know you're getting old but surely not that old yet?
You could argue I'm too old to be driving an F80 M3 looking at some of the current owners.I mean that is an option, but... Audi? I know you're getting old but surely not that old yet?

Haha I bet it's a sight getting out with a zimmer frame
But yes it does attract a certain owner nowadays
Macan? Properly nice to drive.
Isn't it basically a Porsche version of the Tiguan? We already struggle for space in the Tiguan without a roof box on it if the dog is in the boot.

Yes so if you need more space it won't do the job.
Cayenne would be the next shout but I'm not personally a fan of the gearbox on it. The DCT PDK in the Macan is significantly better than the torque converter in the equivalent ~2017 Cayenne which is an Aisin unit I think. Also mega upkeep costs which I wouldn't say are worth it.
Toureg R? Potent engine too and smart cabins.
I want to tick V8 of my list really while I still can.

Macan is noticeably smaller than a Tiguan
Not entirely sold on the looks but nicer than an L405 inside. I bet the insured warranty £lol money though.For sir's consideration:

Comprehensive, £1279 a year with a £250 excess including breakdown. Pretty reasonable actually - I'll be paying more on my 7
Edit - will likely be 20% cheaper on renewal, too.

It’s not the best looking thing, and the interior is a bit 3 series looking.
