Ambient Lighting Brightness

963mw · 01-10-2018, 12:23 PM

Hey guys,

Coming in from an F32 435i with red interior and ambient lighting, the M2's ambient lighting is shockingly weird. I remember reading a thread about BMW's with black interiors having weaker ambient lighting for some reason. The workaround was to code the ambient lighting strength in E-Sys.

Has anyone tried this on the M2? and if so what HEX value did you put in?

Thanks

The ambient light comes from 2 little lights by the overhead light. The brightness varies along with all the other interior stuff via the dial nest to the headlights. You CAN switch it from red to white in your iDrive settings. Red is something like traditional and white is something like modern. I’ve never heard of a coding option for these. I like the white.
