Come home / lighting function

Does any one know if the E70, has some sort of a 'come home' function, so when you unlock the car, the headlights and/or foglights come on, and you can select the period you want it on for ie 15 secs, 30 secs. etc...

The E70 has a couple of functions:

1. When you unlock the car, the angel-eyes, tail-lights, internal lights and lights on the door handles come on - I don't think you can set the time delay in the idrive though - could be wrong there though - not tried.
2. When you stop the car you have the option to switch the headlights on by using the flash - this then stays on for a period set via iDrive - called pathway lighting function.

By "flash" I think he means to pull the turn signal stick to flash the hi-beams after you park the car and turn it off. You can set this up in idrive with different time intervals.

Another trivial question I know, but do the number plate lights go on as part of this setup...??
