Where is the Ambient light on the 228i???

It was on the doors in my previous 328i but I have no idea where it is on the two series (that I ordered) and now have.

With premium, will it turn on as you approach the car? Or do you have to press the unlock button the key fob to get it to turn on?

I do not have premium or tech package but in settings on my Msport it offers two settings for ambient lighting, classic and sport. Have no idea what the difference is

It turns on as soon as you put your hand on the handle and active comfort access. Turns off when you touch the handle to lock, which imo should be a delay instead of immediate.

Without the prem package the only ambient lighting I have found are those two tiny little lights in the overhead console that stay on when lights are on. The two settings are red or white
