the door sills are the biggest PITA, going brushed aluminum or carbon fiber are the only ways to match the silver or carbon option on the door sill..

I never even look at my door sills, to be honest. When I was ordering my GT4, I was tempted by the illumination option because my friend's R8 had it, and what eventually convinced me to save the cash was that I realized that despite having owned my M3 for 4 years at that time, I could not even vaguely recall what the door sills looked like. At least in my case, I find myself looking no lower than the seat rest when I open the door to enter the car, and looking outside the car when getting out.

Has anyone noticed the strange rear brake light rendering? Selecting the Touring Package in Black gets you the same look that the winged GT3 has, which is expected based on the description. However, selecting the non-black Touring Package gets you noticeably darker brake lights, even though the reverse lamps between them are lighter. I'm assuming this is a glitch of some kind given that the Frankfurt car has the standard Touring package and doesn't appear to have darker lamps?

From the look of you tube pictures etc, I think the Touring option in silver gets you a clear glass (in between the red top and bottom sections) of the rear tail light and the black touring option has this part tinted dark red ?/
im guessing the red top and bottom are the same on both options.

I look at the door sills of the passenger seat while I hold the door open and the hot female passenger exits the vehicle with LWB in a mini skirt... Thats why they should also be illuminated for seat exits at night along with making LWB's compulsory

Well even though I have LWBs, I'm married and my wife usually wears jeans, so that use case hadn't occurred to me.
