Picked up M2 LCI. Interior and Improved Gauges in Action

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Waited for the LCI, signed the order on May the 13th, the car arrived at the dealer last week and I picked it up yesterday.

Below are some pics which show some of the LCI changes. If you want to know something specific, ask and I'll make photo's/movies of it.

More on the instruments too. Are they backlit all time? ie: when the headlights are off?

The instruments: They are backlit all the time and always in white (even at night). The rest of the dashboard (climate control etc) turns red at night.

I'll make a short movie of the interior later today.

The dash is a huge improvement. Hopefully the instrument cluster fits the old car too.

Is there anything new instrument cluster shows but pre LCI one doesn't?

I like it and definitely will do a retrofit if possible.

I did not know the LCI models was already in delivery... Looks nice, especially the dash (instrument cluster)... The radio and new design of there right carbon insert does not fully convince me at this point...

Veel plezier met de wagen op Belgische bodem

Car looks great! Here's what I've been waiting to see. Feel free to do as many or as few as you have time to do

Can you take photos/video of the headlights (on/off/high beam/Low beam /turn signals, etc.) same for the rear lights as well?

Also would be curious to see if the start up animation is any different from pre lci on the new gauge cluster and I drive screen.

If you could turn on all the driving aids so we could see how they look when activated on the new cluster. It looks like several things moved around / changed size.

Some views of the new dash from the passenger side, showing the passenger air vent and also a shot of the new stitching and design closer from the top.

Maybe a quick drive showing the gauge cluster and some exterior shots with lights on?

Also, are you able to display oil temp now as some have speculated?

Thanks and enjoy the car!

Interior materials? Are they any different than 2017? How do they feel?

Stitching? Legit blue everywhere or stamped on the dash?

Did you ask for chrome finisher on the interior trim?

Is it configurable in iDrive? This is sort of a disappointment to me, sadly.

That is consistent with how other M cars work. White all the time to differentiate them from series cars.

Didn't the 2er LCI get the same cluster? (Maybe without the red needles)

I'm guessing the regular 2er gauges turn red at night similar to the f10 5er and the f10 m5. In out 5er it's backlit white during the day but amber at night. I believe the m5 stays white always.

Made two quick videos. Tomorrow I'll also do the headlights and perhaps also a better quality video of the interior.

So from your video, the temp gauge provides an actual Celsius or Fahrenheit measurement now, instead of the pre-LCI "blue-red" bar? Is it still a combined water and oil temp, or separate gauge for each?

There is only one gauge and looking at the icon I assume it's only the oil. No other indications of anything else.
