Does Sensatec interior X3 M40i really NOT have Ambient Lighting?
Does anyone have sensatec interior in their 2018+ X3? I've heard they do not have ambient lighting.. can anyone confirm and share interior night photos? There must be some sort of ambient light shining right? Just not the multi-colored lights? I'm super interested in an out of state X3 M40i that is pretty striped down and just has premium package but no leather / sensatec only. I've heard it doesn't have any ambient lighting.. but even my 2017 X1 with sensatec has nice red ambient lighting everywhere.

I have it in my X1 and it's great. Easy to clean, keeps you gripped in the seat better, doesnt get bolster wear, etc. I've had lots of BMWs with leather and if going black/beige then sensatec is great but sure it would be nice to have the other colors only offered in leather like cognac

I've had top of line BMWs including an M5 and now an M3 and never once sat in them and thought WOW, this leather is awesome...it just isnt that great or a reason I buy BMWs. Heck, I had an E46 with leatherette which was just fine and nobody could tell the difference.

They must be pretty crappy sofas because BMW leather doesn't compare to any top of line leather furniture I've ever had.

My wife's TT has alcantara with leather sides, a great combination.

Actually reminds me that steering wheel was alcantara too as that thing would be molten otherwise... Last edited by gohawks23; 11-09-2019 at 10:51 AM.. |

In US it is an option if you have less than Executive package to get ambient lighting. Local dealer has an alpine white with black sensatec with premium and ambient lighting. Online configurator at bmwusa shows all this.
