^ The S class is amazing... having been in my bosses many times at night I absolutely love it.... it flows across the dash towards and across the doors... its very well done...

The BMW 7 series is nice aswell but isnt as good as the S Class... Hopefully the new 7 Series can compete

Thanks James!! The interior lightning of your A8 looks great. It looks awesome with those bright interior colour. Would be interested how it looks like on a car with black/brown interior.

In black/brown it's gonna look even more stunning because of the contrast. Personally I feel this white ambient lighting thing works best for dark interiors, especially black. Doesn't really suit our beige one.

wow fantastic photos James! I didn't know the A8 has 3 LED underneath the wing mirrors and inside the door storage compartment. I notice there is a little clear plastic cover thing on the door handle. Does that light up as well?

Yes, there are also 2 (or 3?) LEDs under the flushed door handles.

I agree. Mercedes is unparalleled in this department. Can't think of any other manufacturer which does better.

I'll try to get some photos of the Maser at night soon.

Thye A8 is also amazing.. found these

Also the 3 series coupe (E92-3) Has a very nice orange glow LED's on the doors -

And the 7 Series "waterfall" glow comes from underneath the silver branch running across the side of the door... looks classy

They could have had a better design for it. The LED lights are placed underneath that ugly plastic strip that looks like a last min add on job, which it is, probably.

After seeing the luxury models of Mercedes and Audi, I thought it is time to share some BMW 7-series interior pictures. I found these on 7-forum.com and the photos show a BMW 760iL with Individual Interior (Champagner)! In my opinion, here, the red ambient light looks just awesome and is comparable to the S-Class and A8!

Thats what I've been looking for... it looks even better I can promise you that

I also like how in the facelift verision there is a long peice of woodgrain running across the back on the rear seats.... looks beyond classy... Has anyone else seen this???

A nice little touch that I noticed the 7er has is the little white LED light in the door handles.

I must admit, I really like the A8's white light. If only it went across the dash like in the S.

Ambient lighting of the E-class with panoramic roof which explains the 2 wide horizontal ambient lighting. I really like the ring or halo effect lighting above the front seats.

This one is from the Citroen Grand C4 Picasso, I reckon it is quite funky if that is the correct word.

Something more expensive this time: Maybach 62S

I really like the interior light design here. At the B- and C-pillar are three LEDs installed (I would like to see it in completely darkness). Looks awesome and in combination with the bright leather it is a great contrast.

As we can see, the automobile industry has really improve the interior lightning!! But compared to the following photo, there are still a lot of differences and I think a car interior and the lights are more comfortable (if it is orange, blue, white or green) and has a better atmosphere then this:

^ that right there is functionality vs design/ looks..
very diffrent

Speaking of airplanes, here are some Airbus with interior by BMW Designworks. Far nicer for passengers than for pilots.

My 5er has this featute... really lights up everything... My GF loves it makes her feel safer at night in darker areas having the lights surrounding the car

Yes, I notice that the 7er is the only car in its class with that feature of wood running all the way to the back of the rear seats. They really have made the interior like a lounge. I thought other cars would have taken to the idea, but it seems none has done so yet.

A nice little touch that I noticed the 7er has is the little white LED light in the door handles.

I must admit, I really like the A8's white light. If only it went across the dash like in the S.

Here's hoping the next A8 will have more comprehensive lighting! I have high hopes... But a dampener is that the R8 doesn't seem to have any of these white interior lighting.

Yup, that was what I was talking about monster!

PS. This is Mr. M... I'm using my dad's account now since I'm on his laptop.

I haven't taken the Maser photos yet, I'm now 1000m above sea level having a holiday.

Very nice ree. It looks very expensive. Speaking of Maybach... I do remember the Phantom having some LED white lighting.

The Mini has this feature where you can change the interior lighting colours right? - interesting.
