1. I don't believe the speedo is digital. Merely backlit.

On the missus 125i with the same pre LCI speedo, setting headlights to auto means the speedo backlight comes on automatically and I've never really had visibility issues.

Part of the dash display is already digital - lower half plus the dynamic fuel consumption meter.

2. There were some discounts for the ones being delivered pre LCI. but if you want to be first with the LCI, maybe not as much.

3. CarPlay seems to be a factory option. Not sure if it can be coded later. Personally have no issues with the standard UI

4. Wait time depends on whether the dealer can get an allocation. The Australian dealers seem to have wised up and are now Pre booking allocations ahead of orders. Then they swap/trade slots with other dealers - ensuring they always have one ready when they get an order. This was preLCI. Not sure if it still holds after.

I booked in April, manufactured in May and left Germany end May - the ship is scheduled to dock in Brisbane on the 6th of July.
