F36 Mini LCI?

Jimbo4GC · 09-10-2015, 12:23 PM

I read on some of the forums here that the F36 has had some of the benefits of the F30 LCI (improved suspension, updated heating graphics).

Does anyone know if it got the new ambient lighting around the heating control stack that the F30 got?

What are heating graphics?

BMW can tweak steering and suspension from year to year without an LCI although it's uncommon. Could perform by looking at part numbers between a MY2015 and MY2016. I wouldn't expect many changes as the F36 would get an LCI with the F32 as MY2018.

"heating graphics" - I believe he is referring to the updated AC/Heat unit and how it shows white during the day and changes to amber at night

I believe the F36 received that and also received the glossy black surround around the Radio and AC/Heat controls. Not sure about the ambient lighting around this. I also think it got the sliding cover for the cup holders.

It did not get the extra matte chrome pieces around the air vents or window switches to my knowledge.

I think you're right on the sliding covers too - would be great if it got the extra ambient!!

I don't think it gets the illuminated centre panel as per the f3x LCI... you can retro fit following the guide on here though!

The GC always had a gloss centre panel but it's different to the LCI version in that there are no ambient lights.

I have a MY2015..have to take a look. I know it's amber at night. There is no cover for the cupholder on the '15.
