This is listed under "Tech Specs" in both the M3/M4 and M4 convertible release threads. I'm assuming that this is official release information? Check out the BMW EfficientDynamics section:

I am not sure this feature relates to the shift lights.

I think it is an indicator that tells you when and in what gear you need to shift to maximize fuel efficiency.

Hence why it is listed under the "Efficient Dynamics" section. I remember seeing an image of something like this in the cluster, now I just need to find where I saw it...
