The common theme is that 'retrofitted' clusters need to be "coded" to match the VIN of the car. Also in BMWs, the vehicle's mileage is stored (shadow copy) in various modules. So just putting a new cluster in will cause a mismatch in the reported mileage value and you may see "tamper warnings". That said, the coding process I would assume "Virginizes" the cluster too so that after coding, it picks up the true mileage value by syncing with the order modules (that record mileage). Finally, it seems that service history logs may not appear correctly. Something to do with date mismatches - from the various google threads I could not see a solution for it yet. Quite a few threads in google for those inclined to find out more

Other than the gauges, nothing else should warrant current my16 or 17 owners to fret, especially if there is a price increase. The orange color looks nice, if it becomes available, but the blue calipers and seat stiching wouldn't compliment it at all. Personally, I don't really care about the touch screen or any of connectivity crap....part of me wants to rip the iPad thingy outta the dash, get rid of the climate control, go back to a nice manual system like my e28 had, and lighten up everything else!......the new m4 cs door panels and seats would be nice though :-)

The M2 LCI will serve its purpose: life cycle impulse.
I guess the headlights and rear lights can be retrofitted on the pre-LCI (but won't be cheap). Good move by BMW to improve the instrument cluster readability. Up next (late Autumn presentation): the M2 CS. It'd better be worth its salt.

8% discount on the M2 LCI net price = good deal.
Piece of advice: add the privacy glass (option 420) to your order. Apart from serving its purpose, goes well with the MG color. Driving Assistant (option 5AS): though a bit pricey, it's a nice comfort creature with all those different speed limits in our country and speed controls. It's pretty accurate. Detail: also throw in the smoker's package (option 441).

I gotta be honest but when I am on a spirited drive and enjoying the performance of the car, one of last things that I am going to think about is 'ooo that trim looks a bit dull'. I really don't get people complaining about the interior. Is it a car that you want or a lounge room?

Looks a bit better for sure!
Hopefully we'll get a few more color options :b
