the only issue I have and lets call it basic ambient lighting I wouldn't say cheap is that if they could have added it to the cup holder and you can see the light strip in there it's just not on. that would have made more complete.
Also the last firmware update I got made it much brighter I've seen the light bar much better a I agree but not deal breaker

Have just ordered my 530e in Greece and still 4UR not available. You think I should keep looking it up with the dealer until production date?

That's interesting. I was convinced there is something wrong with the light strip in the cup holder cause it's never on.
Actually I'll drive the car to the dealership next week because of a rattling noise in the trunk lid since day one. I'll be naive and I intend to complain about the light being always off in the cup holder. |

Just brought to my attention that 4UR can easily be retrofitted. parts are available even on ebay. Just wondering whether coding would be required

Also just got confirmation from my dealer that ambient lighting restriction on 520, 530 has been extended until after October 2024 production. just wondering what the cost would be to retrofit with original parts in BMW dealers!!

I find that car sales people are in the same category as the news casters, Dumb and dumber. Instead of learning about the widgets they are selling, they stand around smoking, BSing, surfing internet on stupid things, and playing games. When asked a question about the cars, they usually lie, with a wrong answer. As far a BMW genius, they are anything but. It is buyer beware, and the buyer has to do their own homework, like on this forum.

Has anyone been able to order their 530i with 4UR Ambient Lighting Bar recently, or are we still stuck with Lighting strips ?

Now I know this is a 530i discussion, and I have the 2024 540ix, but do we all have the same ambient lighting color choices? I think they are extremely limited and find that frustrating. What, are there 12 colors or so. I came from a 2021 Audi A6 that had about 35 color shades (and you could have two different colors at once on the different parts of the interior). I wish BMW would program many more color/shade choices.

How many of those colors did you actually use? I switch up between maybe 4-5 colors and never use the rest.

Well I used maybe 15 of them. But being able to combine two colors at once was really the benefit. Audi ambient is pinstripes though, so much more detailed around doors and console and dash and such and fully in backseat area and doors, unlike my 54O. My issue is, I don’t like half the BMW colors. Coral, really? I want 10 shades each of red, blue, green and white really. Anyhow, I would think BMW could just add colors with a software change. I’ll survive… clearly, I skipped getting a 2024 Audi S6 and got this 540.

Since we're chiming in on colors... I usually switch between Lavender, Indigo, Papaya and Rose. I change it maybe once per week.
Funny thing is, when I was test driving the car, I couldn't get enough of the Expressive iconic sounds and figured I'd be in that mode most of the time because of the lighting and the sounds. However, now that I'm actually driving regularly, I can only stand the "drone" of the expressive sounds for about 1 minute. I love it when accelerating or decelerating, but when cruising along it's just too droning. Maybe I should just turn off the sounds and use the colors. :-) I do like the sounds in the other drive modes (Personal, Sport and Digital Art, etc.). I hope they open up the software someday so you can mix and match your own sounds with modes and colors and instrument cluster designs.
