What color ambient lighting is everyone using?

pavloPL · 04-13-2020, 11:16 AM

I ended with Lilac, few notches from max and switch off dimming for night.

The lights are able to display any color .. yet BMW gives us like 5 choices. Mine is blue

It is a shame they don't give you the full gradient. I bet the 2021 models will have that....

Bilajio · 04-13-2020, 04:38 PM

Was on blue for ages

Went to orange

Now on purple

Since I have nothing better to do, I may try green next.

007bandido · 04-14-2020, 04:13 AM

With Alpina dash, blue of course !

W0ut · 04-14-2020, 06:12 AM

Started out with blue but the reflection in the passenger seat window bothered me at night. Certainly in wintertime when it gets dark early. So I switched to orange.

SJW · 04-14-2020, 10:55 AM

Classic BMW Orange.

thereef510 · 04-14-2020, 02:37 PM

i wish you could set a color per drive mode. blue for comfort, orange for sport lol

kkpat · 04-14-2020, 05:51 PM

I will say Green! Feel like that color was left alone!
JK. Orange is the new blue!

TJ_BMW · 04-14-2020, 09:36 PM

I always wondered, why doesn't BMW have a red ambient light?

With coding, you can replace the default colors to any color you want.

zuntress1 · 04-16-2020, 06:07 PM

Love lilac the best since it's the most girlish color for me lol Then I moved onto Blue Then Orange. Find myself staying short with other color then back to lilac again.

wrickem · 04-16-2020, 07:46 PM

Orange/white here. The orange/orange is too orange for me

Ftpohyeah · 04-16-2020, 09:33 PM

Really_fat_ninja · 04-17-2020, 11:39 AM

I dont think it has been done with coding on the G05, I haven't seen anyone do it yet. On my G01 (X3) its possible with bimmercode

rebekahb · 04-18-2020, 10:39 PM

Blue is pretty much the color I go with 99% of the time. One of the things that turned me off from BMW was the orange lights so it's funny how so many love that and it would be my last color choice unless it's Halloween.

Bilajio · 04-20-2020, 04:45 PM

So tried a couple of options
