Didn't even see this until now.

I know it's not going to be a simple LED swap, as the whole design is different (not even the headlight, the AE design itself is different as well). However, my plans to just buy the whole headlight assembly (while not cheap) and plugging it in can't be that hard

In regards to the BMW mechanic saying no... I am very hesitant to believe that. Not saying that I am more knowledgable than they are, but more so the fact that they have an incentive to simply just say, "no, it doesn't fit." Very similar to the 2012+ paddle shifters that the BMW mechanics said you could not retrofit, when in fact you can. I can't imagine the headlight assembly being anymore difficult than just unplug old, plug in new, sell old on eBay, profit.
