I never noticed that while looking at the cars, but then they are “off” while I am kicking the tires…
There are numerous lights spread throughout the car including the ones you mentioned and for example the lights in the b&w speakers - they ALL match the colour of the interaction bar. Very cool.

Sooo, I started wondering—what if the BMW QA and Engineers Team accidentally overlooked adding a check to handle mode switches while Vitalize Mode is active? This could result in a memory copy of the previous Ambient Scheme being applied to the current mode.

For example, if I’m in Sport mode using the Sport Ambient lighting and I activate the Vitalize Function, the car remembers I was using the Sport Ambient Scheme. Now, while still in Vitalize Mode, I switch to Personal mode. The software first applies the Personal mode Ambient lighting, but when Vitalize Mode turns off automatically, it reverts to the last saved Ambient profile—which is the Sport one.

This way, I end up in Personal mode with Sport Ambient lighting. Pretty neat, right? You can repeat this with other modes and colors too. My personal favorite combo? Efficient Mode lighting paired with Silent Mode vibes. ��
That is a great find, thanks! I'm going to try that next time I'm in the car.

That seems to break the logic of the driver being in the ‘red zone’. Out of curiosity, is that just a bug in my car or does everyone have that? If we all have it, any guesses why the feet rood remain blue? Is there a logic to it I am missing?
That’s what I see in my 540ix M-Sport Pro too.

If I could create a completely Red Sport mode, that would be fabulous. See the colors of the Carolina Hurricanes (Black and Red). Yes my car is Black.
