Another look at Upcoming BMW M2 Competition Instrument Panel and First Look at Seats

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Out of the blue someone reached out saying something along the lines "didn't see this one in that M2 Competition thread" and "you can add it".

Apparently Darth Vader is still wearing "! do not remove !" shades for the moment.

Compare with the M2 LCI: (picture that surfaced in Spring 2017: see here and here):

How the M Sport Seats may look inside the M2 Competition (option code 712):
one-piece black F82 M4 seats (not the ZCP version featuring cut-outs) including the ///M logo hexagon plaque at the top of the middle part, but this time in black Dakota leather, blue or orange contrast-stitching, the block/stripe design in the middle part (4 blocks on base and 6 blocks on upper/vertical middle seat part) in a different color (for example orange if the contrast stitching is orange) either plain or perforated (depending on the chosen option), and a slice of alcantara (instead of leather) curving along the outside of the upper/vertical seat part (the part parallel with, and closest to, the door) (not inside the side bolsters as on the M4 CS).

And here's a render by forum fellow Tag: he changed the orange contrast-stitching to Polar Blue to get us an idea:



Furthermore, the M2 Competition is also getting 1 and 2 driving mode buttons on the steering wheel.

Below on the left: F80 M3 - Below on the right: M2 Competition:

And the leaks keep on coming! Interesting that the start button is not red. The bezel around the air vent just right of the dash also appears to be different, I don't see any CF. Must be the gloss black finish.

It still shows the chrome trim peice that runs below the carbon fibre trim in the current LCI M2.That pic makes it look like they are replacing the carbon fibre trim in that area with gloss black trim.Didn’t the M2 Competition VIN info confirm that the car would still have the carbon fibre trim?

The first pic in Artemis post is the M2 Competition, the other pic which you've cropped is from the M2 LCI. Look at ChrisK post where he's outlined the trim in gloss black. The VIN thread had both CF and gloss black. Gloss black is standard with CF being optional.

Thanks for the info,I don’t remember seeing that in any of the VIN’s that have been posted for the M2 Competion.The original BMW images of the MY18 M2 LCI showed gloss black around the carbon fibre trim,instead of the chrome,that is on the current MY18 M2 LCI.

Here's a snippet from the VINs thread stating what the M2 Competition gets, thanks to Artemis who was kind enough to put this very informative list together months ago and has kept it up to date.
Last September forum fellow SickFinga specified the following about the 4LU, 4MC and 7M9 codes:

    • individual high gloss satin chrome with extended content in addition to either standard 4LU or optional 4MC = optional (option code 7M9)
7M9 is exterior. Refers to the grill and exhaust tips
See also the 7M9 code of the BMW F90 M5 First Edition:

BMW Individual high-gloss Shadow Line trim with extended features (7M9). This means that the kidney grille, the M gills and the four tailpipes of the sports exhaust all come in high-gloss black.
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:

So those are the seats after all? Is that the actual photoshopped interior pic of the M2C?

This looks great. This car with the S55 will be a total weapon.

Visual difference between the original M2 maybe?

I agree that having the CF in there is better...

It sounds like they will be an option - but the standard M3/4 seats, not the ZCP options with the cutouts.

It will be an option (712 M sport seats), but no merino leather. Perforated dakota leather will be another new option.

The current M2 seats will still be standard seats.

High gloss carbon fiber trim will now be an option.

I still think the M2 is purposely held back by M division due to their M3/M4

Also think it is too big and fat, but that's the way with modern cars.

Bet it will be fast as hell though, and given the choice between this or the RS3, this all the way.
