sounds like the ambient lighting feature they have in the R56 Mini....can you change the colour of the light - you can in the Mini.

I only noticed the other day in my '08... there's the orange ambient light in the wells on the doors (front doors at least)... all the way forward (usually where I throw my misc paper garbage).

I have it after all... Did not notice it last night (you need to have the engine running and headlights "on" I guess)...
