F30 M sport Instrument lighting
Hi
Has anyone been able to change the instrument lighting from the classic red/orange instrument cluster lighting to the white lighting as suggested in the option list for the M sport model. Best I can find in settings is 'classic' or 'sport' for interior lighting, but selecting sport doesn't change the the lighting theme. Any suggestions would be appreciated Cheers Steve |

The classic/sport lighting is for interior lighting only. Very subtle changes around inside door handle and around gear change area of the centre console.

The white/sports interior lighting doesn't look as good as the classic orange IMO. They haven't managed to change all the interior lights to be white so when you choose 'sports' I find that it's a mix of whites and oranges... that plus on my coral red interior, the white led on the sides of the interior, still reflect orange/red-ish anyways lol

The main side effect was the nav no longer auto switched between day and night mode. But you can manually change it in the idrive settings, so its not the end of the world.
Its been 18mths or more since I tried it, but my recollection is both the instruments themselves and the extended display were in day mode. And the instruments were indeed white |
