I think dashes are going digital because manufacturing has caught up to the point where it's cheaper to make a digital dash than to make an analog dash. I don't think there is any other reason for the change. Why are the hands and indexes faked if people really preferred digital? Why not just show numeric values?

I could be wrong because I have no idea how much an analog dash is to produce but production costs on digital displays on electronics such as phones have come down to a few dollars per display. Also (I'm guessing), quality assurance testing, "calibration", and installation is probably less demanding for digital displays. A lot of industries are replacing analog with digital because of costs and so I guess I could have jumped to a conclusion there about the car dash too.

I can't imagine a Breitling Navitimer with digital needles. The real thing just exudes more class.

I've asked my dealer the same, this was news to him too. He was going to look into it and come back to me. Is you dealer offering you any deals on the LCI model?

He hasn't mentioned money yet, but if I don't get at least £5k off I won't be buying it, I think they will be giving a fair discount, pretty sure the M140i kept the same sort of discounts after LCI as before

I may be getting one of the first 2018 M240's in the U.S. My first order (2017 M240) was delivered to Galveston, Texas on May 30 but the car's roof was crushed in the car transport truck during delivery to Little Rock. A new car (2018) was ordered on June 13 and to my surprise, I just learned that Start of Build for the car was yesterday (June 19). I don't have any other schedule dates for it yet.
