Ambient Lighting Issue

Hey guys there's something strange about the ambient lighting in my car...
whenever i set a two tone (white with whatever color) the driver side door only shows one color without the white contour. Anyone else experienced this????

I'm not sure if I also have a lighting issue as well: I recently had the top dash LED strip replaced as half of it wasn't working. I've notice when using any combination color--white and blue for example--only half of the top LED lights up in white and the rest is colored. It looks weird and I can't remember if this is how it was before the LED was replaced. So is this two-tone on the top strip normal?

That's not normal- I'd request that the dealer fix it properly… the way it is currently would drive me nuts.

Thanks for confirming. Wasn't sure if it was intentional as it lines up with the blue strip below. Another trip to the dealer it is.

I think mine are working correctly, but they are kind of dim compared to some of the pictures I see on here. They’re at max brightness, but still leaves something to be desired during nighttime driving. That’s one area where I’m envious of the E63S

Turn off the night timing dimming function in the iDrive.

This is a craftsmanship issue, and the dealer should fix it under warranty. Not because they should, but because they have to.

You shouldn't pay a dime for that, and if they try to, you need to tell BMW USA immediately.
