Ambient Lighting

The standard equipment lists extended ambient lighting. Is there information as to what is included? I see dash, door sides, and footwells, but have noticed some videos where there appears to be lighting mounted on the front seatbacks, but missing on other videos. Is this included on all X5's, or perhaps part of the pano led lighting not offered in US?

Yes, 4UR ambient lighting is standard across all BMW X5 models. You've identified the primary ones.

If you honing in on lighting on the front multi-contour seatbacks, yes it's there.

Scanning the parts library. Looks like multi-contour seats include ambient interior lighting - see Part No. 6. A forum member's X5 with standard sport seats would need to confirm.

You might want to mute this video to view the light show.

My guess is that the comfort seats get the lights while the others don't.

I have the luxury seating package with vernasca and there is no lighting on the seatbacks. It is also on the center console and door pockets.


Edit: I'm a dolt, I checked again and do have it. The first time I just looked through the window and didn't open the door so between the viewing angle and the privacy glass did not see the lighting.

We have standard sport seats and the ambient LED lighting is on the front seat back and underneath. Front seat back is constant based on color selected. Underneath front seat lighting is white when a door is opened and then reverts back to your selected color once the door is closed. Very cool!

It’s been discussed on this forum already. Starting with MY21 (I think) you only get ambient lightning in the back of the front seats with luxury seating and executive packages (that’s in US). I have MY21 45e with luxury seating and premium package and I don’t have it. My cousin has the same car but with executive package and he has it. Other than that the ambient lighting in all other places is standard.

You do realize that this is a G05 (2019 until present) forum? Check in the F15 forum - https://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/fo...play.php?f=507

I personally find it annoying too bright even on the lowest settings. I don't even turn it on anymore.
