LED Ring, I like it a bit

I thought I would be turning it off, but the LED ring isn't bad.

It can be very expressive, like a gesture. It can let you know the general state of the car, like the green waterfall it does on Start/Stop.

I hope it has, or I hope they come up with, a complex language. That would be useful, or I will get bored with it pretty quick.

My wife loves it... you can customize it pretty good in the settings. She has it dialed in exactly how she likes it.

Every time I'm in an F56, I fall more in love with the LED ring. I don't really get why, but it makes me uncontrollably excited.

I agree. I figured I'd get bored of the stupid thing very quickly but I think it's cool. I'm digging the setting where it displays the mode. It's excellent how they made it useful in all 3 driving modes (Mid isn't that useful but I'll cut them slack).

Yea its pretty cool in display mode. At night it can be pretty bright and light up the whole interior dependent on color selected.

I drive mostly in green mode and I really like the way it's integrated for that. It really does come in handy.
