Yes, this is possible, and actually quite simple.
But
You need to get the headlights, and they are not cheap
You need E-Sys and a relatively new PSdZData, and you need to know how to use it (or know someone who does)
The F60 needs to have LED headlights (the "normal" ones) already
It also needs to have KAFAS for the camera based high beam assist.

If all these prerequisites are met, exchanging the lights takes about 15 minutes, and programming about 20.

Why specifically F60? People have done this on F56 too
Well, as @CmdrBond said: This is for the F60. The LCI-II on the F60, which brought those lights, is relatively new, and I guess some of the things, if not all of them, are specific. So in this case: Yes, I am talking about an F60, and I would definitely not be so bold as to say it is the same on the F56 for example.

I have been thinking of doing the same upgrade to my F60 LCI as well but can't find the matrix headlights on the Internet and my dealership is not ready to help.

Do you by any chance know the part numbers of these headlights or where to find them?

Thank you in advance!

I've retrofitted the Matrix LED (552 Adaptive) on my 2017 F60 here a photo, you need to install the new headlights (obv) new FLE2 (the old led have FLE1 and can't manage matrix) and need to code the BDC as 2021 model and solve some problem with fog light if, like in my case, don't work couse of different type and wiring in pre-LCI models without "ring" light on foglights.

Here a photo of my 2017 F60 with matrix on it!

I am interested in doing this update to my 2018 F60. Could you share the part numbers for the headlights and fog lamps?
Thank you

That’s stunning 😍 I want to update my Halogen to the LED ring & Matrix, can you confirm the parts needed and instructions please? Mini just tell me it can’t be done 🫤
