Light escape on internal trim

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Night light internal trim appears to now be visible THROUGH a gap into the surround- has anyone else had this problem? I ha e marbled grey trim which I think is plastic not wood on my G31

No. Haven't seen this on mine. Wonder if it's related to a specific trim.

If it's the grey fake wood trim called Poplar Grey with Pearl Chrome, that's what I have and it doesn't do that on my G30...

That's what I have on my M550i and I am not experiencing this issue either.

I love my blue on blue ambient lighting - especially with Alpina mode!

There's no possible way you have fake wood trim because BMW doesn't have fake wood. The poplar is actually poplar. I have the poplar as well and don't have this issue
