What colour have you got your ambient lighting set to?

Lighted hearted question!
What predominant colour do you have your ambient lighting colour set to?

I have mine set to blue. I also like the purple as well.

Sheharyar_rr · 12-17-2017, 01:57 PM

What I like about blue is that it pops really hard, but I like orange too, makes it blend in pretty well until it feels seamless with the interior. I just keep switching to whatever the mood desires, Also, I wish we could program them to the shortcut buttons.

Whatever colour my daughters decide they like that day. It seems to be their favourite thing to do when they get in the car. When I'm on my own I tend to leave it whatever it was on previously

r3amir · 12-17-2017, 02:35 PM

I like Purple and Bronze

I have the Cognac interior, so blue doesn’t go well with it

Blue for me, and disco mode (change ever 2 mins) when the kids are in the car!

mobilejo · 12-17-2017, 03:37 PM

Blue predominantly,with orange on occasion and purple too.

I quite like the green but my BIL said it reminded him of a Turkish nightclub

babaikram · 12-17-2017, 05:09 PM

Orange always because it rhymes with cognac interior.

Canuck99 · 12-17-2017, 06:00 PM

Blue most of the time to compliment the bluestone metallic. However, purple looks great as does bronze. Almost anything goes with the black nappa interior....

Hansell · 12-17-2017, 07:00 PM

blue. I wish they had also had the option of the blue in the x5. or let us choose more colors like in a MB.

Nivarox · 12-18-2017, 12:54 AM

Mine is set to blue

AP · 12-18-2017, 03:27 AM

Blue certainly appearing to be the most popular to date

r33_RGSport · 12-18-2017, 09:15 AM

I set mine to gold or bronze. Since when I had my F15, the only option was Orange, Blue, and White. So with the G30, I try to go out from those 3 colors.

Did green once, felt out of place with the gauges and instrument panel color.

AP · 12-18-2017, 09:40 AM

With you on green , just doesn't seem the right colour to be using at all .

Mr.blue · 12-19-2017, 12:31 PM

Mine is set to purple only because my wife likes it. I like the blue myself

en1gma · 12-20-2017, 10:05 AM

Blue with White contour - has the most 'pop' as mentioned above; esp with my cognac interior.

However, Orange is best for long journeys esp. motorways at night time with less roadlighting. Makes for less internal distractions whilst still making out different areas (door bins, etc). I wish the dials would go orange at night time like they used in the F10.

It just doesn't 'look' right with the cognac trim in regular use; hence blue for daily use.i

AP · 12-20-2017, 10:53 AM

Yes re the dials. It adds some subtle red graphics but as you say the main graphics remain as per daytime. I have a shortcut for turning off the I drive for long dark journeys to bring the level of light down as it can be quite bright on a pitch black night. Allow eyes to adjust to ambient levels which I assume is what the red dials were about on previous beemers.

Blue is certainly turning out to be the most popular colour.
