The Dash Will Age Fine, dont you remember the Aston Martin Ladonda Dash?

I am not sure i agree. The 1980s Lagonda had a digital electronic dash, and look how that influenced cars for years!

Some mood ambient light is nice, but this beats my local club’s lightshow, which can’t be good.

I also dislike the tiny climate control display.
Hey Ya'll, common that's your opinion....but

No 1: I like Gentleman's Clubs too
No 2: Size of the climate controls do not bother me they dont seem small. Anyway the Car actually reads your mind so the controls dont matter so much.

The car is nice but the lighting is very distasteful
The speaker lights are kitschy, very gypsy like...
Too much and electric power wasted on really unneccessary things.
Tacky is a diplomatic word...

Love your interior OP.

And let the haters stay in their antique cabins with faint orange glow lighting.

Exactly looks like every other new Bmw interior

M5 all 5 series, 8, X5,X6. Had same lights inside my 2019 M5. Same on my friends X5 4.0 too

That's not to say I don't like it bc I do. That said MB interiors are far superior and appear more upscale and better to me at least

Some of y'all here sound stupid as fuck. Let him enjoy the car, y'all are some grown ass folks complaining about some damn lights in a vehicle?

I'm sure you can adjust the brightness down and it won't be as bright in the interior. I see nothing wrong and I'm sure he can turn them off too if he wants.

Nice car OP, enjoy in good health!

The interior lighting reminds me of the scene in “Cars” when they’re lulling the truck carrying Lightning McQueen to sleep lol

Ah yes those crazy 80's.

When we called everything futuristic "2000" and surely by 2020 we would all have flying cocoons.

It looks like TB II to me.

I did see somebody from the Netherlands (I think) posted a video review of the X5M Comp in Carbon Black several days ago. It looks fantastic in CB but a little darker than the pic of the x6M you posted...of course the lighting is very different so who knows.

And MB interiors manage to sneak in cheaper plastics and creak more.
