Yep as far as I'm aware if you've spec'd the lux pack i.e folding mirrors then you will get the puddle lights...

Cool  :wink: I have ordered the luxury pack.  Thanks guys!

Out of interest, are the puddle lights effective or a bit of a gimmick ?
Anyone got any pics of them illuminating the area around the car ?

When you've parked your car in an unlit gravel carpark and it's been pissin it down, they are definately not a gimmick!  :cool:

What do you expect them to do like? Light the street up!

Do exactly what the description is. PUDDLE LIGHTS

I've got them and find them useful, and not a gimmick. They've saved me from standing in something unpleasant in the dark before getting in the car and trampling it into my mats!  :laugh:

They also do a good job of providing just enough illumination when getting out of the car in a dark garage, if I've forgotten to pull the indicator stalk to activate the coming home function.

I got the luxury pack primarily for the folding mirrors, as my garage isn't the biggest, and folding the mirrors give a bit more clearance. The puddle lights are an added bonus.

I agree, they look nice but they should be standard IMO. People talk about BMW's being basic unless you spec them but puddle lights are standard on those.
