Last September forum fellow SickFinga specified the following about the 4LU, 4MC and 7M9 codes:

7M9 is exterior. Refers to the grill and exhaust tips
See also the 7M9 code of the BMW F90 M5 First Edition:

The pre-series M2 Competition VINs show that the cars either got code 4LU (stock) or 7M9 (optional) (exactly 50% split).

Hence, I just updated/corrected the first post of this thread to point this out:
