Driving at night - driver side wing mirror
Anyone else find this annoying - the LED interior strip on the driver side blocks or severely impedes the view for the driver on the driver side wing mirror when driving at night. Only negative i have found in the car!!

I didn't notice any issue, and I did thousands of miles at night.

You can dim or turn off the ambient light. I set it quite low so find it okay.

Never ever bothered me or even noticed it. You can dim the the led strip lights if they bother you.

Never found it a problem.

Never noticed it as being a problem. As suggested, just change the colour, turn it down or off.

Looked at the settings - I kept the brightness on full but didn't see the check box to dim for night driving. The other light strips stay bright while the one that reflects in the driver's wing mirror is dimmed and works a treat! Well thought out by BMW. Problem solved.

Nice you got it sorted. I really do love these cars. Every time I get in it feels special.

So because of you I now noticed that I see a light reflection on the wing mirror drivers side from the auto light switch!

My light started showing in the driver sides mirror the day after I read this post. Damn!
