Just bought 2021 228iX have few questions

Hey guys. 3 questions.

1. Do these models have issues with window tint causing dimming of dash displays ??
2. I wanted to add the BMW beams puddle lights. There is currently no lights there now. A dealer told me the classic BMW emblem won’t work for my car but the colorful 50 year anniversary one will. ? Why would one work and not the other ? They both say same size light on accessory page. And if not lights are there currently how would that one even work? Are there exuding wires there?
3. On the display , when I play FM radio is there away to show full s teen of the station I’m on ? Right now it shows the station logo, then in middle shows all other stations to scroll through, and then far right shows like a settings menu.
I would like just a full screen of the station I’m listening to.

Window tint referring to windshield tint? Haven't heard anything about issues with that

The tint shouldn’t cause your interior lights to dim, at least they didn’t for me. I’m not sure about your other queries.

1/The obvious -There's a thumbwheel for adjusting the instrument lighting if you think its too dark at night. But if your referring to the the interior lighting dimming at night, can turn off the 'dim at night' setting. Car > settings > interior lighting
See P161/162 in the manual.

1. We have a full tint and no diming of dashboard lights that we could notice.

2. I got puddle lights with an M Power logo from Ali Express. Did not install them yet but I will refer how it goes once I do.

3. We generally play MP3 from a USB stick but I think had just the song display full screen. I just tapped onto a song and it went full screen.
