I'd love to know why BMW thought it would be a good idea to fit this to some and not to others. Clearly the info I was given by BMW was BS.
Also - why did they think it would be good to have orange backlighting on the Si and the naff blue/white on the M. I guess orange light must be heavier!!!
I also think the rev light LEDs could have done with being left back at Halfords!!! If I see a red light in the corner of my eye on the dash - that tells me something is wrong - not that I shoulldn't do. Especially when that something could be limited electby software.
Oh well, at least I've got a washer light.

Mine definitely does not come on when starting up. The "placeholder" for it is visible in the picture below, but I have not yet had low washer fluid level so no idea if the bulb is fitted or not.
BTW, did not realise that the UK cars have both miles and km on the speedo - I thought only the North American cars had miles. Also notice that (ga41's) is only marked to 290km/h, whereas mine goes to 300. Guess I have the faster car then :wink: .

no ones listening to me 
I've got an 06 Launch MR and I have the washer fluid light, but I don't think it's as simple as to when it comes on, at least in mine.
It definitely came on the other day, but then next time i used the car without filling it up it wasn't then lit.
might have something to do with when the car detects a low level it stops washing the headlights - you'd expect it to stay lit from then on.

The light washers stop working earlier because the pump feed is higher up the bottle than the window feed. I wonder if it's got something to do with the passenger airbag deactivisation option. Perhaps the wiring goes with that or something, that would explain why all the new ones have it and only some of the old ones.
