Not sure if any e53 had that ability but e90 has and I suspect e70 also.
The e53 certainly DOES do this, at least on the front. If you lose a halo (angel eye) lamp, the signal/indicator lamp on that side is lit at half brightness to substitute for the missing halo lamp. I think the same happens for headlights, with the fog lamp being used as a substitute.
