coming home/leaving home light function??

Could anyone tell me if the 5 series has this feature and how it works. ie will it light the area in front when you are walking up to the car?
Cheers
I'm about to order a 520d M sport after I look at the new lexus IS

My US '05 545i has it, but don't know if it's standard on all models in all countries. FWIW--I've never used it, other than testing when I first took delivery, on this and a few other cars.

When you come up to the car will it light up ahead so you can see where you are goin in the dark?

It's not password protected--I just tried and it worked for me. Try again--or here's the link:

When you leave the car, the lights will stay on for a predetermined time (which you set in iDrive). Not when you approach the car--there are puddle lights on the side view mirrors which light up when you unlock the car.
