Digital display as in @ fifty MPH it reads 50 rather than a needle pointing at fifty on the dial? If that is the case, I much prefer it to the needle and dial. A quick glance and you know your speed. Needle and dial takes me more than just a quick glance to check speed and unless needle is pegged to an actual number, the in-between spaces give you a approximation at best. A shame there wasn't a NA option to get the digital speed to display in the small numbers beneath the speedo dial (without getting the car coded). |

As a buyer (not a lessee), I tend to go w/ the latest model available. I'd get 5 months of driving a 2018 in 2017..so from a value stand point, it makes sense to me. Nothing in the new models makes me sorry to own my 2017 M240i. I still think the BMW 2 series is a great car for the money. |

Regarding LED headlights having the same distance as HID headlights, I really hope BMW figured this out. When Ford switched their higher-end offerings from HIDs to LEDs, people complained that beam length was not as good as HIDs, although side lighting was better. Talking to a buddy who is a Ford engineer, it was more of a cost cutting move as LEDs are cheaper to manufacture (less moving parts, etc).

Also hoping the LEDs are of similar distance as the replacement xenons, we won't know until the are tested back to back. I have watched some YouTube vids comparing the 2 lights on other cars and distance didn't seem to be an issue as others are stating here. As long as I can see those kangaroos bout to jump into my car I'll be happy. |

This is what I have seen in the vid/ pics as well, digital/graphical display that looks like the old gauges.

These photos are from the m135i/140/235/240 Facebook page. In the comments the guy that took the photos said it can display the engine/oil temp where the time/date/mpg are shown.

A member received their LCI m2. I'm confident that his gauges are the same as in the new LCI 2ers, other than another m logo. There's a post on the first page, he took a video of what the gauges and interior looks like
