When I was shopping for a 328 and debating on the interior color options, I really wanted to see how the ambient lighting showed up in a black interior. From what I recall searching the forums and the web, there aren't many pictures out there (and I know many others had the same question). Now that I've gotten my car, I thought I'd take a few interior shots at night in case some of you have the same question.

For those of you wondering about the door panel lighting, it is definitely a lot dimmer in a black interior than a beige or gray interior (I also have a beige interior F30). It looks a little brighter in the photos since I took these shots in a very dark parking lot. If you're driving around with street lamps, etc., it'll feel a bit dimmer. For reference, I set my interior lighting at the brightest level.

Otherwise, the brightness of the lighting is pretty accurate.
