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.

Bro chuckles01 I have 2014 BMW 328i SULEV base line with Nav w/touch pad, Lighting package, Driver assistance package, black sensatec interior. However, on each door the ambient lighting are not bright at all. When compared with your photos, it's really a difference like night and day. I also attempted to check every LED module used in my car and they seemed to be using the latest module 63319353133. My question is what LED module you might be using in your car? Can you make sure whether it's 63319353133 or 63319350967? I kept on assuming that 63319350967 would illuminate better ambient lighting compared to 63319353133.
If any folks could help me that would be very helpful! Thanks guys. |
When I took those pics, my car was using the "older" led part number. I have since swapped out the led modules for the newer brighter ones. I say that because mine's a 2014 model and I know that from 2015 and on, BMW updated the door panel led part to be slightly brighter. There's an entire thread about this somewhere that I can't find right now, but I'll search some more and post the link later if I come across it.
I have not taken pictures of the new ambient light LEDs in my car, but they are definitely brighter than the older ones. With a black interior, you may only notice the difference between old and new LEDs if you sit in them back to back, since it's not as obvious.
