What's the difference between 2017 vs 2018 M4?

[Super Spartan]

So I have the 2017 BMW M4 Convertible and was thinking of selling it to get the 2018 version.

I initially thought that the 2018 version will have new headlights and a digital instrument cluster but when I saw a video on YouTube, it appears that the dashboard / instrument cluster is the same unless I missed something?

also the tail lights are still the same and not OLED right?

I know there is a long thread about the 2018 LCI but I don't feel like reading every page in there

can someone sum up the difference please?

You get iDrive 6.0
Front lights are LED. You get standard rear camera. The contents of the executive package have been changed and it's now a bit more economical. No OLED lights. And yes, there's another forum that discusses all these changes. Takes less than a few minutes to get the answers with the search button.

Right, thanks for the answer man.

I already have Adaptive LED Headlights, are those new adaptive LED headlights any different or just different looks?

Also, what about the digital instrument cluster that I mentioned?

Same LED headlights. Instrument cluster should be the same

Don't forget the OP is in Dubai. Whatever BMW US decided to change in the packaging will not apply in another country.

The changes are pretty well summarized in this post: http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...0&postcount=92

I wonder if the "standard" LED's are the same as the '15's that I actually paid for. That pisses me off.

What is stitching on the dash that isn't real?

No they are not. The standard Bi-LEDs look very similar to the outgoing standard xenons:
