Hey everyone!

About a week ago I read a review of our beloved f56 the review vaguely mentioned something called "disco mode". It's a feature that automatically cycles through all of the possible colors for the interior lighting and every car should automatically do this between when you unlock it and before you start it.

I wondered if this feature could be used whilst driving (having all of the colors circle through) as many friends have asked me since being impressed with the led ring. I haven't heard about this feature since having the car so I figured maybe others haven't as well.

Basically once the car is on and before you start driving, press and hold the switch that controls the mood lighting for ~10 seconds, the lights will then flash to signal that you've engaged disco mode and you can release your finger and enjoy the light show. This continues to go while driving too! I personally think it's cool but I know some of you think it's just a distraction.

Here is the video I took with the car on showing disco mode, sorry for the poor quality. (I am not driving the car while doing so because it is dangerous to use your phone and drive but it will continue to scroll through the colors when you drive, just trust me )

Edit: my phone won't let me post the video but go try it for yourself! I can't wait to see this at night!

If this is already common knowledge or there is already a thread for it, I apologize for my lack of knowledge in advance!

I can’t figure out how to turn disco off. I can select a color and it stays on that color until I restart the car then it goes back to disco mode. I don’t want the disco. How do I turn that off and have it stay on my selected color?
