Led/Low Beams comfort exit

[Wonks20]

Hi guys,
I can't seem to find out how to enable the led/low beam to remain (headlight courtesy delay) on when exiting the vehicle and locking the doors. Previous vehicles I was able to set the option to enable the lowbeams to remain on for example 60 seconds while the doors remained locked and then it automatically turned off after 60 seconds. I'm sure this vehicle will have a similar feature but not sure how to enable it can anyone help out.
Thanks in advance.

I believe they changed the name to "pathway lighting". I'm certain the option exists as I've seen it in the menus.

You have to push the left hand stalk forward as if selecting main beam, then they come on and stay on for as long as you have selected in the ‘lights’ menu.

Ditto above...I've seen it described in the owners manual and in iDrive. Look for Pathway Lighting in the rear index in your owners manual for instructions.

EDIT: Check your owners manual because I believe the instructions have changed slightly for the G chassis BMWs & iDrive 7. Regardless of the time interval you have set...you must manually initiate pathway lighting. It wont come on automatically/everytime you shut off the car like in a Cadillac...you get to select when you need the lights to stay on to illuminate your way. If you're in a well lit parking lot or drive or street...then there's no need for pathway lighting...so BMW gives you the choice to select when you need it by flicking the flasher stalk.

From a past thread on this topic...I believe these are the instruction from the F chassis BMWs and Pathway Lighting:

And the instruction below are from the G05 X5 owners manual which will probably be similar to the G11/G12 7 series:

Thank you this worked! Sucks you need it to do it every time.
