My loaner is a SPORT that comes with Ambiant lighting. My 330D has the extended lighting in it. Is there a difference? B Pillar lights?

I think if you have red leather, the red/orange setting works better... might be wrong, but must agree the "sport" one is a little bit of a waste of time IMO. I presumed it might work better on other colours.

MaestroAl · 12-01-2012, 01:48 PM

Nope. No uplighters for me

I've felt around and there's physically nothing there - it's smooth. I've got all four door cars then two in the front overhead lighting the centre console and then two in the rear overhead lighting the back seats and rear vents.

I wants me free lights!

Bloody Nora. Complications galore. I think I'll never get the car set up correctly. I'm sooooo analogue.

JOHNBMWM5 · 12-01-2012, 02:04 PM

OK hope this is clear enough.

MaestroAl · 12-01-2012, 02:10 PM

So no uplighters for you either then?

That proves there must be another adjustment somewhere, probably when plugged in at the dealers I suppose

Don't forget that's a photograph

I could go take a shot that would make it look like daylight with the LEDs on under the door handles. It's not necessarily anything like what you'd see with your eyes

I appreciate what your saying Maestro, but there's no way you could make my lights look that bright, they are so dim lol!!

Good point and in a "pitched dark garage".
They are not in your face bright but glowing.
I have everything turned to it's brightest.
