It's just ambient lighting.

It illuminates the area around the gearlever and TR/suspension controls/cup holders.

You can only really notice it working if you are driving in complete darkness (in city driving it's not really visible).

I've seen it called "waterfall lighting", which may not amuse those owners with blocked sunroof drain tubes... Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana

If not invented by, then certainly popularised by the German luxury market. My previous BMWs and Mercs had them. Mind you, they were both warmer glows and seemed to have more of an effect than the D3/D4 ones. I didn't even notice I had one for a good while in the D3... 2001 D2 GS (I must be mad!)

I've had two D3's & never noticed it at all.

Must be worth putting it in i'm sure..

I have it in my Jag XKR as well. It gives off the 'Aura of Wealth'.

I'm not a knob at all !
