Same thing with all the 4 series LCI pics that you get with a Google search. North America is the biggest market no? Why are we always the last inline for the roll out of the latest features?

At a guess, they are a European manufacturer and you're not in Europe. Well, not unless you invade

If there are reflections from a camera flash on the rim of the gauges, chances are it's not a full TFT screen. The "digital look" is probably from the use of Photoshop :P

I know there's a thread on here discussing the reasons why Leipzig can't offer custom colours but why can't we choose from the standard 2 series colours?. I know they are built on the same production line as the standard 2 series. I really like that burnt orange colour (I'm pretty sure that's not the official name) on the link below.

Shouldn't an M car have grey dials though?

Nice interiors doesn't hurt but come on. Audi S3? Not even close.

I hade the digital cluster in my M550d and it's nice and all but... It's nothing that adds any value to me. A HUD and more colors to choose from both interior and exterior would have been nice though...

Audi isn't that a souped up Volkswagen?


j/k

I like the instrumentcluster change, the rest is all fine with me, I don't see any big differences thankfully.

Wonder what's the new leather option gonna be and if it's gonna be available for the M2.
Dash looks like it has less plastic and more artificial leather.
Like the porsche-like aluminium accents here an there.

LED stripe indicators are gonna be really cool.
The black finish near front air vents gonna be a really good match for black grilles.
Did the mesh in the front bumper change? (the pattern)

I'm gonna go ahead and say design wise I prefer the old one

Only if you don't want to read them in poor light

The new dials are definitely a step in the right direction.

Now where's that temp gauge...

Is this boost in price added to the already boosted price since 1st of march?

Probably but you get LEDs and Connected Drive standard so not that much of an increase.

[ClothSeats]

They fixed the gauges!

But no cloth/suede seat option.

Not even close in terms of what? Audis interiors are a lot nice than BMW interiors

if you're talking about performance then I can say RS3 is in the realms.

I had coral red interior E92 coupe. also sat in F32 with red interior and a m235i. simply BMW interior feels lacking and outdated.

the 1 & 2 series are probably the most ugliest cars BMW has ever made.

seems like people get too offended easily. I like well rounded features. in this day and age BMW is catching up a little late to the game. but hey most of the defensive comments are from 2er and M2 owners
