Just got my G29

[Zed Baron]

I have to admit these new cars have some pretty funky interior ambient lighting. I have been thinking some time now how I can install it in my E89 but without it looking like an aliexpress store I'll have to put some more thought into it.

Picture now attached of what the ambient lighting looks like, Viva Las Vegas!... or Aldi as in this picture!

I often switch mine off completely, especially when late at night and heading home in a hurry, especially the blue ones so there’s no confusion

Should be able to choose level of brightness + Is there no option in the settings that auto reduces the ambient light level at night ?

Yes, there is, but I'm enjoying the novelty of driving about looking like an extra from TRON

Looks good, not certain the Aldi top screen extender was required though

I do like the new BMW dash / interior lighting - some don't but it does make the car look much more modern

Blackpool have called…. They want their illuminations back.

Nice!

[Silverstar]

Ask B21, he will know. Will be surprised if he hasn't already got it in the Yellow Peril or is planning to

I am surprised no one has done it so far! Been watching some Youtube videos on ambient light install on E90s, it's given me some ideas!

More to the point “when is my next service” you’ve just bought the bloody thing

Our new 520d tourer has this fancy lighting malarkey. My key is set to green, wifey's to purrrrrple (that's how she says it!)
What is quite clever is that when a door is opened the lighting on that door flashes red instead.

Wow that's some light show, even if downgrading on shopping is the price you have to pay.

But congratulations on the new car.

Luckily I had enough pennies in my piggybank for the car, so, it hasn't meant us downgrading to cheaper beans! (anyways I don't do grocery shopping, thats madam's dept!). When I do find the need of visiting a supermarket, it's now a case of finding one that has enough parking spaces, so that I can have about 6 spaces to myself! The local ASDA has become some kinda location for the next Fast and Furious movie! I don't fancy having a burnout with some teenage Corsa nightmare, when all I wanted was a pint of milk! Even when I do find 6 spaces to myself and have to walk 5 minutes to the store, guaranteed some walloper feels the need to park right tight next to me, only for me to spend another 5 minutes checking up and down the swage line for dents!

On a slightly different subject, I tried the reverse assist.... my garage is at the back of the house and you have to snake up the side of the house and into the garage, so I let the BMW poltergeist have a shot of reversing the car out of the garage, through the gates, down the drive to the front... that was an experience

Glad you are still eating well!

I had to visit my local Tesco today because they're offering 25% off 6+ bottles of wine for Clubcard holders, and I needed some Momentum anyway. But the car park has some interesting curved black lines on it.

I parked well away from the store at the end of a row so I'd be able to get the door open and for once nobody was parked next to me when I got back to my car.

Trusting the BMW poltergeist sounds like a recipe for disaster though.

Even if my car had that sort of black art I wouldn't use it!

Nice looking car, I also recently took the plunge on G29 (with ivory interior) though have not yet had the opportunity to use the reverse assist!
