Why does Bmw is so restricted with some standard features offered by other brands. The ones that most annoy me are the limited ambient lighting colours and Android Auto (despite they already announced they will support this). But I dont understand why!!. The led strips definitely are RGB but they stick to limit us with a few colours.

Who knows. You can code them to almost any color though.

Maybe BMW is waiting to release an ambient light subscription package.

$10 per year per 10 colors...

This was something that I was always impressed with in my MB S550, many options.

I tried turning it off at night and the cabin just felt lifeless, but it did feel less distracting so I can see the benefit. Turning it off is definitely not for me though, personally.

Generally use blue or lilac or orange.

what is wrong with all of you "off mode" people??!? lol jk. maybe someday it'll get old when it trickles down to corrollas and such, but not yet. I personally like the red/orange lighting but by and large, women who get in love the lilac, so lilac it is (its actually kind of soothing at night).

My favorite automotive feature was "Night Panel" on older SAAB vehicles. Everything went black except for your speed:



I have all the ambient lighting disabled and the dash lighting set to the dimmest it allows.

Blue in my X5, wife likes Lilac in her X7. I also like the orange as it matches the traditional BMW ambient lighting color.
