Cluster white lighting

I dont know if its just me but, id love to have my cluster lighting and heads up display to stay white at night like it is in the daytime.

Anybody know if this can be reprogrammed, and changed?

I think it's perfect as it is. IMO white interior lighting at night would provide too much contrast between the instrument panel and the road ahead, resulting in your eyes taking more time to readjust each way.
Personally speaking, whenever I'm driving on unlit roads at night I turn the nav screen off and have the instrument lights fully dimmed.

The F30 announced 10 days ago has the ability to toggle the dash lighting between white and orange via the settings menu.

It would make sense that this functionality will eventually extend across the model range.
