Enjoy your bimmer because you are a part of one big happy family  [snapback]000000[/snapback]  Hi Guys  What a lovely forum wherein one can express his views in an open manner. How nice to observe that we all are helping each other in different problems we do have concerning to our cars. Well regarding the red lights in the dash boards of BMW's one thing is for sure and that is the BMW group must had a speacial reason for not changing them to date. I personally feel that it takes years and years to make human beings feel about a particular brand and its characteristics. So abrupt changes do shatter or belief and opnion about a particular brand & sometimes we also get confussed. I am sure the way we are discussing, the BMW group had also gone through lot of brain storming sessions and this red light effect to the human eye must be the outcome of several suryes. Best of luck to all and keep on helping people around the world.
