Not sure I'm understanding the question correctly. Do you want your parking lights to flash when you unlock or to stay on? Because I don't think you can get them to stay on. But to get them to flash, if you have iDrive, I think it's a setting in the lighting menu. If you don't have idrive, you may need to take the car in to the dealer to set that up. Either way, the interior and surround lighting should come on by default.

it's not possible, only with the new E60LCI is it standard.
With pre-LCI is it not possible.
Your friends e90 is probably a car of 2006-2007 and there is it possible

it is possible i think, all you need is a new side mirror with the little light on the bottom. let me try and get a picture...


this is a forum members mirror. this isn't exactly the parking lights, but at least it will light up the path


again, i don't know if this can be retrofitted
