On the 5 and 7 series where you can switch between white and orange lighting the modules use 3 wire connections and have switchable LEDs.

Check out my ambient lighting upgrade thread here.
Thanks for the correction...since my f15 X5 is the last BMW that I've coded...this is what was in my mental Rolodex in regards to the multiple color options for ambient lighting. You're correct the 6 series only has the single color LED Orange selection...it's my X5 that has the Orange/Blue/White selections (standard)...and coding can give more colors like Green, more Blues, Reds, Lavender, Purple, etc.
