Here's all eleven of the driver-selectable color options for one of my (many) favorite features, the Ambiance lighting.

It's controlled by the iDrive system now! There's an option settings for it. I'll shoot a photo of the menu display

Those are the Icon LEDs, how are they? Also are they adaptive to the affect of tunneling around cars? Turn on your auto high beam, should be a green light on the dash. Button maybe on the turn signal

I am curious to how well the work, as these should be a big improvement over the last gen LEDs.

If possible can you post pics/video

What summer Michelins have you seen on 19" or 20" M Sport G30 ?
Only the M550i without runflats and in 20" have been seen with them as I recall

The M Sport 19" and 20" runflat G30 wheels get Goodyear F1 Assymetric 3 or Pirelli PZero
The new F1 Assymetric 3 have done very very well in tyre tests around the world.

Runflat Michelin Primacy 3 can come on 17" and 18" wheels together with Goodyears F1 Assymetric 3, Continental Premium Contact5 and Pirelli Cinturato P7
Hankook Ventus S1 evo2 can come on non-runflats

Any comments on sport seats? They seem much better then before, I like the look even more than the Comfort, and for sure lateral support is better. Could you maybe compare them to the Comfort seats in F10? Not sure what is the better choice.

On an M Sport ?
The primacy is categorized as a Summer touring tire, while the M Sport tires are usually the Summer Max performance tires like the Goodyear or Pirelli listed above

So the UK has an option to fit touring tires to the M Sport ?
Is this an "all season" tire option ?

This tyre has been replaced by the Michelin Primacy 3
Quote:
The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 is a Max Performance Summer tyre designed to be fitted to Passenger Car

This tyre replaced the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2
Quote:
The Pirelli P Zero is a Max Performance Summer tyre designed to be fitted to Passenger Car

No a summer tyre, Primacy is HP, but not UHP like some of the alternatives.

Also this is on an F10 model, not the G30.

Are you saying yours is on a F10 or JOHNBMWM5's is a F10 ?
