Just for fun. What color is your ambient lighting?

Just curious what everyone has theirs set to and what color exterior/interior. In my previous car I used the blue, since it matched my interior which had blue stitching.

Not sure what goes best with my Z4, which will be San Francisco Red over Ivory.

I’m not sure what matches best with my color combo. May just have to stick with the orange, as it’s the closest to red.

I have tried several colors and settled on orange because in my opinion it pops the best at night.

Same. The default orange matches the magma red seats, and I haven't bothered to change it since playing with the settings briefly.

I do the Lavender. It's a soft color and goes well with the white and orange of my car. The orange just means too much orange. Blue is nice, but too harsh sometimes.

Haha, I was only jesting too. Wouldn't want blue in winter though.

FWIW I'm not a huge fan of ever increasing interior ambient lighting, old school BMW Orange was good for me and I think the brand got caught up in keeping up with Mercedes who took it to a whole garish level!

Oddly my personal favourite was actually on the F40 1 Series, it was quite cool to see the light embedded within the trim design and not just a strip.

Personally tastes though, good to be able to change and have options.

The current 2 Gran Coupe has it embedded in the trim I believe ( Westside Guy may be able to confirm, as I think he mentioned his wife has one). Also the new 7 has it as well. I agree, it looks neat that way too.
