POV BMW 750i M-Sport Night Drive Interior Lighting

CARTOON · 03-12-2016, 10:09 PM

Cannot stand this stupid fad of putting these goofy colorful LED strips everywhere in cars these days.

dbrad · 03-12-2016, 10:35 PM

More shit to break and fix down the road

Mercedes can look as flashy but they do a better job implementing it because the lights look like they're coming out from behind the dash/trim vs. BMW where it looks like there are actual LED bars on your dash that are illuminating.

yea Mercedes certainly does a better job at this, the mercedes' interior lighting flows with the interior, whereas this one looks like it's just a long line of leds added after the interior was finished.

BMW has all the techs of S550 and perhaps more sportiness, but the truth is in sales and preferences it always loses to the S550...
7 series needs to think of something better, a radical change to stand on its own

Reminds me of the Peppermill in Las Vegas but I'm not sure why...

Oh. Now I remember why.

Next step: add a foam cannon for that techno-disco rave effect.

Yep, only you thought of that and not professional BMW designers/engineers.

Yes, you can choose color and brightness.
The blue is tacky, reminds me of VAG

Falafel Combo · 03-13-2016, 06:32 AM

Gaudy as hell! I hope these designers never get to work on M cars. WTF, looks like a rolling dance floor!

RingMeister01 · 03-13-2016, 06:49 AM

Stunning. Feels like a high end airliner.

This vid here is much better and Elnaz is a real beauty too!

Yes, it is adjustable. That appears to be on the highest setting. The new iDrive also has the "dimmed when driving" setting included. I will say that in our G11 and F15, the only issue with the light stripes is the reflection on the driver's window that impedes the viewing of the mirror.

You're calling a color tacky, but your username is Ron Jeremy.

I don't see the point in all of that lighting. It looks busy to me.

Don't worry, you are not the target audience.

tetsuo111 · 03-13-2016, 11:20 AM

Looks like the pimp mobiles Detroit built in the 70s and 80s. About as crass and tacky as a Vern Fonk commercial. Same Fast and Furious target audience, too.

BMW today has fallen so far from their glory days. But they still build and sell the best M-Power decals on the planet. Bravo!

Have the lighting in the x5 and love it!

nbennettksu · 03-13-2016, 12:40 PM

I was thinking another kind of POV...

kconner5 · 03-13-2016, 01:33 PM

I absolutely love the interior and exterior lighting on the G11/G12
