I don't have GC pics, but there are a couple of videos on my YouTube channel that show that under-trim LED bar in the dark on my coupe. It extends to the back seat, but the amount back there is proportional to rear seat leg room . Fortunately for the GC, that ratio is maintained.

You control it using the scroll wheely thing next to the other lighting controls to the left of the steering wheel. It is the same control for the instrument panel brightness. I keep mine set to the brightest setting, and it's still pretty subtle. The pics I have posted are all with the brightness set to max. The pictures don't do it justice, if I'm honest. I don't know if its the iPhone camera's fault or what, but looks better and brighter in person. Additionally, I think it is more obvious with the ivory and Cinnabon interiors as those leathers better showcase the orange lighting compared to the black.

Is the B&O system necessary? No. Do I regret passing up that option? Every single day. Why? In short, it is a very cool and exclusive feature that I really wish I had - I like my toys, but I think everyone here already knew that The Premium system is still really good. I'm not an audiophile sound snob, but my regret has very little to do with the sound of the sound system and just about everything to do with the lack of aluminum, blue LED backlighting, Band & Olufsen plastered on every speaker, and the cool factor. I told myself that I had to draw the line somewhere since I blew my initial fictitious budget by nearly $50k, and I regrettably drew the line with the B&O. I thought I'd be okay with passing on this option, but I was mistaken. In long: http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=651686
