You can search on here others have posted, from what I remember it just doesn't have multi color leds lol. So you could swap the led and somehow code it to let you change it perhaps but not out of the box

What the hell does paying 4 bands mean? Are you a rapper or something?

If it was worth 4 bands, the very least you could do is spell the name correctly.

Even if you swapped for color LEDs the coding doesn't exist to tell them to change.

It has to exist somewhere since it exists on other models, just might be a pain to figure it out since no one has done it before. For all we know the capability is there hardware wise and we just don't have access to change it lol. I'd reckon it's in the same area as the custom color coding for the ambient lighting and there's probably just a value to sync with ambient or specify a single color or assuming we don't have the leds (hardware) for it even though it wants to sync with ambient it can't and it is just as simple as changing the light.

Edit: so on other models you have a tick box for "white off" then it syncs so it has to be a coding thing

Edit2: seems the ambient lighting comes from the covers themselves so you could order this kit from China just replace the covers and you'll have synced ambient lighting https://www.incarpassion.com/bmw-5-s...ambient-light/

I don’t think OP is too concerned with grammar, punctuation, or anything else besides speaker lights.

I had to look this up as it was a first for me…

Apparently 1 "Band" or "rack" means $1000 cash.

So 4 bands is $4,000 or what I am guessing that OP is inferring as the option pricing of the B&W audio system; and the fact for $4k you can't change the light colors.

I'm glad my $4k went to audio quality and high fidelity music reproduction. I don't care about the lights however, I guess having something matching the rest of interior would be ok with me.
