Question: Do 3's have Red Lights in Doors

LarryK1000 · 04-12-2006, 01:42 PM

Wondered whether there are red lights on the insides of the doors so cars don't hit your door when you open them up at night.

I know my 7 and 5 had them.

Thanks.

No red lights in doors, sorry!

Not to hijack your thread but I just ordered my 330i also...

Now the hard part of waiting 8 weeks...

I noticed this too. Not even a reflector. What's up with that?

My car has a clear light that shines from the bottom of the door downwards so this would identify the open door to other traffic in a dark street.

Same here.

if it's a big deal for you, buy some reflective tape, like the kind joggers/runners use at nite.

Aluminum trim is pretty shiny and has a piece that runs the length of the armrest.
