Ambient lighting issue (or so I thought)

So Tuesday morning I leave for the airport really early and I noticed my ambient lighting pulsating from off to on. So annoying. I turned them off and back on with no solution. Googled it again no solution. Totally forgot about it until I landed this morning and again still going on. So I stopped at the BMW dealer I got the car from to ask the service department what could be going on. Everyone looked perplexed. So I walked out and showed them what was going on. He dove into the car setting and noticed the Dynamic Lighting was activated. Apparently with the temps dropping my tire air pressure was down. Dynamic lighting option uses the Ambient lighting to let you know the car has something wrong. Could be for Service, something expiring or in my case low tire pressure. What can't this car do. Anyway the box is now unchecked. So annoying at night for sure.

It also flashes ambient lights at night if a door is opened. I thought it was pretty cool.

Yes! What a great feature! The flashing red light in the open door to warn approaching cyclists seems genius to me.
