None of that had to be done on the m3. They aren't going to change all that on the m2 after 1 yr. The lights will be the same size just LED

I was told that the M2 LCI will exactly be the same way like it was for the M3 F80. Only new taillights! And look at the past. The E46 M3, E90/E92 M3 only got a new taillight design, like the F80 M3 and probably like the F82 M4 will get it. OLED could come as a optional equipment for the M4 later on.
So, in my opinion and what I was told: No new front lights (point of view November 2015). |

But let me explain something: Years ago it was a plan of BMW to bring the 1M Coupe with halogen headlights and not with Xenonlights as standart equipment, because they wanted to reduce the price under the magic line of 50.000 Euro. So the nearly ready 1M with the halogen lights came to the acceptance test (TÜV) and failed. Why? Because the parking lights of the halogen headlight where to much inwards (because of the wider fenders the 1M got compared to the stock E82) and so BMW had to put the Xenons in as standart equipment (the parking lights are more external because of the "angel eye design") and the price raised up to 50.500 Euro (later 51.500) Euro. As you can see, BMW never planned to mount the newest lighting technology in the stock 1M. Maybe it will now be the same with the M2 and LED will come as optional equipment. |

You don't have to look at newer cars when you drive a M2. Newer car drivers will look at you and talk to themselves: "Damn, that have been good times, when small sportcoupes could be driven with a manual gearbox." Driving pleasure isn't about lighting, its about driving. |

I don't expect to have such major LCI updates on the 2 series including the M2 but a new tail light design with LEDs in the front. I'd bet money on that. |

LCI = subtle changes | next-gen = (more) substantial changes. Let's face it: the 2er regular might eventually need a "Life Cycle Impulse". The M2 doesn't need that in the near future. M2 sales will still be vivid in MY2017 or MY2018, not requiring 'impulses' (yet) to crank up sales (except if competitors (or BMW itself) come along with some 'slam dunk' opportunities hurting M2 sales). But it's quite logical that the M2 will get the new 2er lights in the near future. If early adopter M2 owners are offered the chance to retrofit these new 2er lights, some of them will buy these too. So it's a win-win: BMW sells parts and M2 early adopters can upgrade. And if an upgrade ain't possible, then so be it.

Now I go for a really big LCI wish.
I really really hope for PDC sensors in the front! I often have to use really narrow multi storey car parks and it is so much more easier with PDC in the front. In Germany/Bavaria everything is a little bit smaller than in the states. |

Even today on the F20/F21... you have only two choices when it comes to headlights. Standard in Germany are Halogens, with LED's being optional. The Halogens do come with LED daytime driving headlights... so that might confuse some people. So its Halogens or LED's on the 1er hatches.

The front stayed the same (E92 M3) and so did the side of the car. compare this (pre LCI): http://www.kues.de/Bilder/2007/4735/3.jpg https://data.motor-talk.de/data/gall...5145191593.jpg to this (LCI): http://cdn.bimmertoday.de/wp-content...E90-LCI-02.jpg http://www.m3post.com/forums/attachm...8&d=1217350456

It will be a short production run for MY2016 as far as I know. Many HEA cars were actually already produced (or in process) when dealers got allocations in Jan/Feb, that's why many people couldn't modify their cars when dealers got their HEA allocations. I was lucky and my dealer swapped for a "modifiable" HEA car. Additionally, I know production with M2s is a bit slower as the plant at Leipzig takes the M2s off the line to install the ///M goodies.
I know somebody with more knowledge than me will chime in, but this is just from reading the forums everyday. |

Read the Sticky
LCI for the 2 series is in 2017, not model year 2017. That's production starting almost 15 months from now, not 3 months from now.
