Panorama Glassroof Sky Lounge with illuminated graphics
Uses ambient lighting with dynamic LED effects
The 5 Series LWB now gets the Panorama Glassroof Sky Lounge, which uses a printed pattern on the glass and built-in LED lighting to create different colour effects. These lights work with the car’s ambient lighting settings, can change with driving modes and remain visible even during the day. The roof brings more natural light into the cabin, making the interior feel more open.
