Wondering if the light output for the ambient lighting in my door is normal?

Its bright towards the end of the door but its pretty much off towards the front of the door.

Set on 100% bright through bimmercode.

2017 m4 comp

Thanks

My guess is no, it appears too inconsistent. My bros X5 has ambient lighting and it's a fully lit if i remember right. Is the other door the same?

normal. the lighting in the F8X chassis is pretty dated. The G8X will be more even/brighter.

I was an early adopter of those 3d printed inserts that intensify the ambient lighting in the door cards and mine are lit evenly front to back in all 4 doors, that looks a bit off but I'd need to see the actual effect at night

Edit: found the post
