Not sure about the coding but here's a source. And yes, they will ship the MPH one, I've already asked.

nice, thank you. Is it worth $1k.... If I knew the required coding, I could do that myself.

I'm on the fence about it.

I dislike that it will throw off the interior lighting at night by being white while everything else is orange.
If it changed color i'd get it in a second. At the same time I kinda like the retro look of the old cluster and of course the fact that it matches the rest of the lighting.
The new one isn't digital, so all it is is an aesthetic upgrade, and if you get an istep update, you'll have to recode it again.
That seems like a pain in the ass unless you can code it yourself with esys.

It's a tough call. Money isn't really the issue, it's just a "will i like it better than what i currently have" kinda thing.

I messaged the seller to see if they could give me any details on the coding requirements. I can code it via e-sys and don't expect it to be that often getting an update from the dealer.

Are you saying interior white lighting? what is orange?

At night all the buttons and knobs in the car are lit orange. The LCI gauge cluster is white 24/7 unlike the pre lci one which is off during the day and orange at night.

ahh yes makes sense now. That is my complaint on the analog and with 5% tint. Sometimes it is difficult to see the gauges during the day when they are not lit. I mostly use the digital MPH, but RPM is tough when needed.

Yeah, like the fact that the LCI one is lit during the day but I dont like that it doesnt switch to orange at night. Makes it harder to tell when the headlights are on and it doesnt match the rest of the interior night lighting.

BMW's inventory of old parts is legendary. You have no chance.

My exact thoughts. Orange at night would have been clutch.

Hahahaha what are all of you talking about “Orange” vs “white” lol.... the New LcI has the same two tone color you are complaining about all the buttons on the new LCI are STILL orange but the cluster is the only thing that’s not lol so your complaining about nothing that’s already the way it is, it’s not “different” in any way than the LCI. Look for yourselves

The Pre-Lci gauge cluster is orange at night.



The LCI cluster is white




Some of us don't like the fact that the LCI cluster is white at night while all of the other buttons are orange because It doesn't match.

Here is a link where you can order: https://www.getbmwparts.com/oem-part...er-62108098270

I'm sure there are other sources, this is just the place that I was looking at (thinking of doing this conversion myself).

I'm guessing you ordered it from the dealer. Are they fitting + coding it for you?
