I've never seen another car where you can change the level of the ambient lighting before - that's pretty cool. Obviously changing the brightness of the dials and dash has been standard for a decade or more.
Can you change the colour or mood of the lighting?

There is two colors white and amber. White is not as visible as the amber on the light color interiors.

I like the ambient lightning at full brightness too.

Classic is a yellow-orange and Luxury (for me) is white. I don't know if there are other colors for other lines. |

Going up a hill I can let the speed drop a bit in favor of MPG and down a hill I can let it go a little bit faster. Down a moderate hill, the cruise control will apply the brakes so that you don't exceed the speed setting. I agree that for a long trip cruise control is great, but it not always the most efficient as cruise control can't anticipate the terrain. |

I haven't seen it mentioned here (this is getting to be a long thread), but I love the inside trunk lid pull-down handles. They are on either side of the license place frame.
I use them all the time to close the trunk without having to smudge or scratch the paint finish with my grubby hands. The handle get the closing started and I finish by pushing down on the license plate. |

Saw this today when my wife stole the car! When you put the car in reverse at night, the outside door handle lights illuminate to light up the ground around you as you back up.

According to the BMW web site (BMW configurator, 2013 328i standard features), it looks like "BMW Ambiance lighting front and rear" is included in the base model
I'd make sure with the dealer before I ordered it though! |

Interesting the you and some others refer to "classic" as 'amber', 'yellow orange'. It's distinctly reddish, no hint of orange. I don't think there is a difference in lighting color between the lines, is there? I have a 335i Msport, "classic" has a distinct reddish tint. Hold your hand out a bit below the rear view mirror and you'll see the light color easier. Use a white piece of paper or envelope and check out the color again. I wonder if there is a difference in the hue between the "lines"? For those who may not know, you adjust the color and light intensity of the ambient lights with iDrive.

If we rephrase it classic mode is like the gauges, modern,sport,luxury is white. I found it funny that they rename the same color of lighting with different names in the lines. How can the white color become sport, luxury and modern at the same time
