I take it all back, mine does light up when the exterior lights are on, I just never noticed it before. Mine is non ceramic and has the touchpad on top.

The 50i that I test drove today was 2014 and had ceramic controls. I turned on the headlamps and I couldn't see the orange ring light up on it either. I did hate how super sensitive the ceramic controls were, though.. I couldn't use center to push the button after I adjusted settings, I had to hold the ring and push it down.

That's why I didn't opt for them in my F15 this time around

Because of the way the parts are tooled the ceramic parts are different than that of the thin plastic parts they replaced, they do not have the led light function.
Your car is normal. |

Appears the ceramic iDrive is lacking LEDs and lighting array, present here on plastic iDrive module.

Sorry a bit offtopic- I just got a slightly newer F16- 2018, which has every option i wanted apart of ceramic controls.
I have ceramic on my old F16, which is 2014. Did someone had any experience swapping iDrive, Gearshift and climate control modules? Are they compatible or need coding? The multimedia is Professional on both. Would appreciate any advise as cannot find any info on web. Thanks |

If I remember correctly it should be direct swap, but some users reported issues with shifter, need to search forum, pretty sure it was a thread on this.
Here: https://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1589526 But it looks like people buying shifter off Ebay, so probably plug&play no coding needed. UPD: Yes, plug&play: https://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1799943 |
