M340i Interior Ambient Lighting

Does anyone have an image or video of the ambient lighting?

I plan to hopefully get a new M340i and am wondering how strong the ambient lighting can get and how nice it looks.

I also plan on getting cognac leather color so I am hoping it allows the ambient lighting to look even brighter.

Wait, you can change the color of the ambient lighting?
Mine comes with a off white color with the cognac leather. Mind = blown.
Will need to find this in the menus.

I have oyster interior and I think I might like the orange the best. You can make it very bright, especially at night.

I took a few pics this morning. A few things to note, the pic of the driver door when its closed has a green reflection on the handle, that's from the "don't open the windows" sticker on the window switches, I just got my windows tinted. The camera makes it look a little brighter but not by much. Also, when the door is open the ambient lighting changes to red and pulses to alert traffic the door is open, its a really cool touch. In the outside picture you can see the thing it projects on the ground outside the vehicle.

This looks like ALMOST as much fun as the 'gas passing' sounds on my wife's Tesla.

hit the microphone button on the steering wheel and say "ambient lighting".

You can also control how bright it is at night. i personally have my set to the orange color because it matches all the dial button colors... so it has the best continuity.

Where as there are two sources of sound from a human, there is only one from a Tesla.

Looks awesome! I just realized that my base 330i doesn’t have any ambient lighting where your foot area is under the glovebox.. is this something only available for the M340?

The 330i van aslo come with the 11 color tone (includes the white versions) ambient lightning with brightness from 0 to 10. I have the cognac color interior and have bronze or green as ambient light. Other colors do not really fit ...

Hey if you love a car company focusing on Atari games, XMAS Easter Eggs, and Dog Mode, Tesla is for you! Why offer a refreshed design or progressive range and tech improvements when you can have Marvin Gaye and fake fireplace play on the screen at the touch of a button!

It means that when it gets dark it will shine less intense, just like the brightness of the screen(s)
