Levente_CSL · 07-23-2017, 06:17 AM

photos?

johanva · 07-23-2017, 03:46 PM

Sorry, been busy so this took longer than expected.

Quality is not super but I'll see if I can get a friend of mine to help make some decent photo's of the interior and the tail- and headlights.

For now:

Close up photo of a head light at night:

Also added to first post.

DrKevM5 · 07-23-2017, 04:15 PM

I am totally swapping out for the new cluster

No, they're the standard bi-LED headlights - he did mention that somewhere earlier in the thread.

What is all that flickering of the coronas?

It's got to do with the way the camera captures

Probably PWM of the LEDs creating a beat frequency with the camera.

Correct, you don't see that irl.

Mind me asking what idrive do you have? My dealer is saying that purchasing the navigation professional w/emergency services gives you a bigger screen?

609 Navigation Professional gives you a bigger screen than no navigation.

Sorry for being a bother.... So not getting this option gives me the standard 6" screen and without onboard navigation? Don't need navigation in Hong Kong !

Yes, if you don't select 609 Professional Navigation you get the smaller and much uglier screen and iDrive controller. I opted for 609 just to get the better looking screen...

Without navigation you get a smaller screen.

Without:

chrislocho · 07-24-2017, 11:55 AM

Yeah after seeing the comparison it's night an day definitely forking out for the bigger screen !

Thanks !

Is the digital dash running at 60 frames per second? My 535i runs at 30fps and it honestly looks terrible

You can quite easily retrofit the bigger screen and touchpad if you didn't get navigation

What I did on my m240i

Christ on a crutch; now this is on the front page saying digital gauges. The dash is not digital.

I didn't think it was possible to remove this. Where I live it's standard to have to big screen and nav.

AGAV13 · 07-24-2017, 12:34 PM

I wish the tach had the variable redline at startup like the older M3's. I dont know why, but i loved that back in the day.

Same for the UK too.Its all down to the different importers in their respective countries as to what is standard when it comes to equipment levels and trim.

Yeah I'm part of many car forums and this one is probably one of the worst at not reading threads fully and spreading false rumors. In just the past month or so: USAA discount on MY18 eligibility, adaptive headlights standard on LCI , and digital cluster on LCI.
