But even the M4 doesn't get the new digital gauge cluster. Or at least we haven't seen anything yet to suggest or confirm it does. Not carrying the digital cluster over from the 4 Series to the M4 could be argued as a counterintuitive move since the M4 is positioned at the top of that model lineup in price and other ways.
The F80's involvement in the discussion is really an anomoly limited to the headlights and perhaps other incidentals that carry over from 4 Series to 3 Series. Well, I say that assuming that the digital gauges won't fall into that category. On the other hand, given the parts sharing between the two, it is technically possible they could.
Edit: Ok, so the 3 Series is indeed getting the optional digital gauge display:
