please upload video of headlight action including DRL, Headlight on, off, turn signals, highbeams. Does your car have adaptive LED headlight option?

Finally a decent digital speedo. Porsche only did this like 10 years ago.
Retrofit would be insanely expensive, complicated and not worth it. Not to mention the value loss in an odometer alteration. |

Am I missing something? The new cluster is not digital. It has analog speedo and tach. It now has a digital gas gauge but that's it?

Nope. Watch the video. There's a needle there. It moves before the cluster lights up.

Look closely, there is a digital speed readout between the dials. Much easier to read than a dial. The current instruments also have one, but it is really tiny.

On board computer itself (under the dials), is digital of course.

Bigger sized figures for the digital speedometer: BMW is a bit late to the party. The M2 should have had this feature from day 1. But finally they caught up.

Artemis' pre LCI F87 M2 dash with white fuel gauge needle. M2 F87 LCI with proper M Red fuel gauge needle! Non-M F22 LCI dash needles are white. |

I think I already know the answer (sadly!), but as you have a manual transmission...does the LCI have the ability to diable the throttle-blip?. Pre-LCI can only disable the blip when the traction control is completely off.

These new gauges sure seem digital to me, but have an analog look. There does not appear to be a physical needle mounted to a center post as in the pre LCI. I would almost call them a hybrid.

I'm happy with the pre-LCI instrument cluster. It reminds me of the older generation M cars.

I've not seen an option to pick that trim - not even on the bmw.de site (which does, in fact let you pick chrome exterior trim) - so I'm kinda hoping it's the default, and that mine comes the same way as the OP's (week 33 - soon!). That said, whichever way it comes I think the new dash is huge improvement. Never liked the "melted vinyl" drooping over the trim above the glovebox in the current car (like my M235i). I really find that same "melted" effect in the 3/4 series to be awful. But to each his own - I'm sure some find it appealing. But chrome around the windows on the outside is dead wrong - That's gotta be black. Great to see these things in the wild - thanks to the OP for all the pics & vids! |

Not saying it's a big deal or that I would have hesitated to pounce on a 2017 if I had been ready to buy earlier, and also not saying that the looks & performance & sound aren't by far the most important aspects of the car - just fun to overnanalyze such an appealing sporting machine (esp when you're waiting to have one built).

My suggestion...link it to the redundant "M Button" so when you press it, you get a sport+ mode that stops the blip!. |
