Apple CarPlay is definitely coming in 2016-2017.

OLED will find its way to production models, will be called "BMW Organic Light".

FYI. Anyone wanting Apple CarPlay should order car with it as it requires a 143 FSC Enabling Code, so coding / retrofitting it post purchase may not be possible.

I'm guessing this will require iDrive 5.0?

This I don't know, although I would presume so.

When is CarPlay available for order on f82?

" A^M=G is nothing w/o the Power of ///M ", and I really like to read that under your Avatar !
But actually it's funny too....

So, I'm assuming that this could mean that the M2 will come as an LCI model??

most likely.
Just like the M4 GTS and the last generation 1M coupe.

Expect Wifi hotspots to become an option in MY2017 1/2/3/4 series cars.

Is the m240i coming out MY2017 or 2018?

The good news: CarPlay will be available soon.
The bad news (for me, anyway): CarPlay may not be available in the '16 M2.

Not going to wait for CarPlay if it's not available in the first year of M2 production.
Even though I'm a Rabid Apple Fanboi (tm).

If so, the M2 mules could be running camo-covered 230i and M240i LCI parts.
Misdirection as well as camouflage.

I suspect that BMW will roll out Android Auto and CarPlay simultaneously.
Unless Apple wants an "exclusivity period" and forks over some cash for the privilege.
(Which they have never done before with any CarPlay partner.)

Am I the only one that has no idea what you guys are talking about?

I still plan on ordering no options, but OLED taillights would be kinda cool on the M2.

Why would the M2 come as an LCI model? Am I missing something? LCI models will get a B series engine. M2 gets the N series engine -- hence, not LCI... or CarPlay, or OLED lights. Granted, my 335is had the N54 engine with LCI parts, but it was for all purposes, just another e92.

No. Even the M240i that comes later in 2016 won't be an LCI. Expect LCI in 2017.

Engines and LCI are two totally different things. They often coincide, but there's no dependency either way.

So, to clarify:
- 2016 M2 - not LCI
- 2017 230i and M240i - not LCI, just new engines, plus whatever parts BMW adds across the board for the new model year (in this case wifi hotspot)
- 2018 230i and M240i - LCI with engines introduced a year earlier.
- 2018 M2 will get new LCI design features in the places that it shares with regular 2er cars. Whether it will also be called LCI, is unknown - BMW is very inconsistent in that regard when it comes to M cars.

Awesome!

The difference in power between the M2 And M240i will be very slim hope the price difference will be slim too.

Are the 2ers getting OLED as well? Or is that for the 4er and up?

Thanks for this clarification. I guess you haven't heard anything about the M2 Csl on your side yet?
