Yeah, I am really missing the circular rings on the new models. It was kind of an iconic look.

So the one in front of you will think there's an Audi behind

Kudos to Jason and Bimmerpost - what a way to deliver the update. Quality content and delivery! I'm honestly impressed!!!

It would be widely used on the not-so-distant higher end models. But I was told it won't be used widely on the current gen F series cars because of supply constraint.

You can learn a lot from the videos actually.

The M4 Coupe is Sakhir Orange II (or a new metallic red) and merino black leather with RED STITCHING (New!!) on the dash and even the armrest (and I suppose the seats too).

So what color is this 440i from the first page? Is this Glacier? It looks really good and with the B58 it is a cheaper alternative to the M3/4

but before you hit me back, I only said cheaper alternative not better

itrocks4u · 01-16-2017, 10:23 PM

M3 needs to start production in March!!!!

M3 Number 86 · 01-16-2017, 10:27 PM

Wait wait wait. Convertible same lap times as the others?

Could possibly be the first convertible "m3"

DS_BMW · 01-16-2017, 10:32 PM

Pre LCI LED headlights look better!

M3ZING · 01-16-2017, 10:34 PM

I thought they were releasing a CS Package with the LCI??

An M4 CS is coming, but it's release date remains unknown. Could be July perhaps, or sometime later yet.

Yea, didn't you know they shaved a few hundred pounds off of the F83 with the LCI?

This is not new, contrasting stitching has been offered as an Individual option for a while: http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=957138

This looks just like the standard SS full leather interior to me.

Again here, this looks just like the standard semi-Individual Opal white interior with full leather dash. Nothing new or special IMO.

Gatchaman12 · 01-16-2017, 10:52 PM

They are just throwing in options now as "standard" but will raise the price. Looks very average as far as an update to the 2016/2017 M4's at least

Nomana · 01-16-2017, 10:53 PM

Damn logo seat. What a cheap look. Old one looks better IMO. If they want black, do matte black!!

Ah ok. Then looks like there is not much new then for the interior...

KKS · 01-16-2017, 11:20 PM

How come the climate control display is still orange but font seems to have changed?

Not sure if it's different for day and night.

dv8pdx · 01-16-2017, 11:49 PM

While the new LED headlights leave the iconic halo shape and move towards all other new BMW headlight designs, my friend has a 2016 F30 LCI M Sport with the new headlight shape. It does look very mean at night when hes pulling up. You can still tell its a BMW all the way. Looks nothing like an Audi, and they dont do the stupid shut off like an Audi when the turn signal is on. They are what we get going forward, so I'll look at it as the car is glaring and growling and accept them and learn to love them. If we dont progress we'd still have yellow angel eyes!!

And the digital cluster is cute and new but anolog cluster in an M is the way BMW has always done it and should. Eco view in an M? Right.

not bad at all,
nice

During the day its white and at night its orange. Take a closer look at the pics, the display is white in some of the pics.

This may sound stupid but what are you talking about when referring to an M4 CS?
Being from the U.K. I only know off the M4, M4 CP and M4 GTS lol
