The foot well ambient lighting uses the standard BMW, incandescent lamp fixtures and bulbs, dimmed down until they glow a shade of orange. It's almost a free refinement when developing a car, I'm surprised BMW didn't think of it. The middle console ambient lighting uses an E39 dome light assembly with Nichia, 3mm, 50 degree, white LEDs in place of the stock, soft orange LEDs. I understand the assembly will fit in a 'ti with a bit of trimming, but does need some electronics to get the middle on/off push button to control the interior lights. (I am helping someone do that.) I use one of my "Mini Automotive Controllers" to control the interior lights, and to dim the foot well lamps and dome light LEDs. Undimmed, white LEDs tend to be too bright.
I plan to write up the installation, but if you have any specific questions, just ask!
