Gotcha, that would require quite a bit of hardware to be installed. A couple people on here had looked at installing factory ambient lighting after the car had been manufactured and it was going to be pretty difficult and expensive to do. I don't think anyone actually went forward with it due to cost.

also you the ambient lighting will slow flash if there is an issue with the car. I turned that option off once I found out what was going on. My tires needed air pressure. At the time the dealer had no idea what was going on either. Then they figured it out.

Driving Mode Ambient Lighting

Would be nice if the ambient lighting changed colour depending on the drive mode your currently in. And to have a Red would be real good.

Also if you open a door (not sure if the engine has to be on or not) that door will flash red to alert anyone coming from behind of the open door - nice touch for a dark city street.

I never would have intentionally checked this box but I think its standard on the 340 now and it definitely is one of my favorite surprises with the car.

I don't see why it wouldn't. The 4 series coupes/convertibles have this, so I'm assuming it's the same setup across all the models

I seem to remember from configuring an M440i GC online, that ambient lighting was an OPTION.

Not that ive seen i seen the video in motion which was a little tricky
This ones easy u open it up highlight where it says ambient lighting
And then choose the colors but on the car it wont show the name of the color it will be under the default orange but takes a few minutes i tried screen recording it but it wouldnt let me screen record when cars connected with apple play but very easy

I don't know how it works, but blue lighting looks the best. Before changing the ambient lighting, I played a little with all the lighting modes of the LED strip. I seem to be a hopelessly boring dude, because out of 16 million options, I settled on blue anyway. My wife says it's not blue, it's electric blue. Does anyone even bother with such questions except for women? At least on this forum, I haven't come across any stupid names for blue. By the way, I'm pleased to know that blue is the choice of the majority. But at the same time, I'm starting to think about red...
