Such a stupid implementation of a neat idea

Agree, on the M60i it's not even an option.

You got any pics of it on yours?

On my X6 its very bright. Bright enough to light up the floor in front of it.

I agree that it's quite subtle on my 50e. I actually think it's a bit classier than the illuminated Mercedes logo on those vehicles so equipped. So I certainly don't mind it.

But in reality, if it ended up breaking today or I accidentally turned off the setting to use the illuminated grill, I might not notice for a very long time (or ever). So if I were to re-spec the vehicle, and it was an a-la-carte item, I would only do it if it was very attractively priced (just you know, because of FOMO).

I'll post them as soon as I get it back from the shop; it's been there for more than a month because of a valve that's out of stock.
