This is a 2014. Picked up in July.
I really haven't been thinking much about details like this - before I saw this thread. Just for your info, I have the Interior light pack too, option 563. Seems this light-ring is really confusing. This is also - IMHO - what I feel is a fascinating ting with BMW - all the endless options and ways things can be configured/made. :-) Have a good weekend all, Bent Last edited by BXdriver; 10-03-2014 at 12:12 PM..

Isn't the interior light (Ambient Lighting) standard now, at least in USA?

HAHAHA. Secret.
I turned the car on, in the garage (door open) and exterior lights came on as they were set on auto. I had ambient lights on set to all orange. Will try mobile site for photo, as the desktop is telling me there are security token issues and my photos are not getting uploaded. |

Now find a way to turn it off so others can follow it in reverse order.
Is it possible different ambient light causes it to turn off? Like Blue?

Ring ring.. ring ring.. - Hellloooo? - Hi Honey, can you come back, I need to check something in the car - What happened, is there something they forgot to add again? - No, just want to see if the dial color turns off when I try something - Silence.... Sound of phone clicking off. She gets home, calls you to living room and.. - Baby, we need to talk, you need to relax about the car, I know you were traumatized by the first delivery we took but everything is going to be OK. Here, take these pills, relax. Ok.. We got all the options and packages correct this time. That's OK, let's hug.

Looks like it's an upgraded controller.
Basically, there's a SINGLE large LED or at least 2-4 LED lights under the WHOLE controller that shine upward to light up everything. The knob you see in @MattBianco's controller has enough space to allow those LEDs to shine through, thus lighting up.

Sort of like that, but more like "what are you doing in the garage? get out of the car..."
I was able to turn off the LED a single way: by turning off the headlights. The ambient has nothing to do with it. They turn on with headlights, either on manual or with "auto" which triggers headlights to on in my garage.

Also, I couldn't tell from those shots, do arrows glow orange too? They did in E70.

Mine was delivered in Jan 2015, and it lights up. This controller is with the touchpad. I haven't noticed it all these days and following this discussion I looked at it this morning, and even in sunlight it's visible. I do have interior light package.

Arrows don't light up, just a ring around the the writing pad, upper surface.

None of the ceramic controllers light up. Not sure why, but they don't.
