Welcome Light Animation

pegogetem · 12-09-2023, 05:03 PM

Anyone have any footage of the new “Welcome Light Animation”?

rollingtaser · 12-12-2023, 09:33 AM

i'd like to know too

the ads on the app are very intrusive but when you want to know more, no video, nothing...

AlteBMW · 12-12-2023, 09:40 AM

I'm not getting any welcome animation

Are there 3 options you can choose with the crystals?

It was available for purchase in Connected Drive for $50

AlteBMW · 12-12-2023, 11:01 AM

Thanks. I'll have a look. Maybe the Connected Drive Store will show what it does.

AlteBMW · 12-12-2023, 11:07 AM

Maybe not if you don't have the crystal headlights. Does not show in the CD store for my car (Dec 22 build).

I have a 2/23 build with non crystal lights. May have a slow roll out. I do want to note that it did show up after a 11/2023 update

I would think it would show in the CD store even if not yet in car, but the way these things roll out is sometimes mysterious

rollingtaser · 12-13-2023, 01:26 AM

i have the crystals with a standard animation (not changeable) and the stores wants approx. 90 USD for it...

maybe i'll do the test month

Lovin7er · 12-13-2023, 05:27 AM

I ordered the package this morning. Apparently, there are different options.

Anyone know where the settings are?

Thanks.

UPDATE: Downloaded to car. Will play with it later.

UPDATE 2: The feature has now been activating for 7 days. Obviously a problem. They said it might be the control panel recall which is a programming issue. Maybe that will fix it.

I’m not certain as I only notice it after it was updated by the dealer.

Nice videos.
I have been looking for it on BMW Connected Drive to no avail. It may not be available for my car or like some other add-ons, it ois getting rolled out in dribs and drabs.

DroMike · 12-16-2023, 08:11 PM

Thanks for taking the time to show us the videos pegogetem -- I honestly didn't know what you folks were talking about until I saw them. I'm with Alte however, I just haven't been able to find it in MyGarage or Connected Drive to buy it even if I wanted to. I wonder why that is or if it's because I already bought the car with the Swarovski crystals...

rollingtaser · 12-18-2023, 11:36 AM

weird, i have the swarovski crystals - and get the offer...

i just tried to take a video of the outer lighting, but i failed - and there is some fog...
BUT i got the inside waking and going to sleep...

when there is less fog i'll take one from the front

AlteBMW · 12-18-2023, 12:01 PM

I just sent a note to BMWUS customer relations to see what the story is on the availability of this feature. If it is available fo my car, I asked them to push it down.
