I'm new on this forum, I'm posting this just to have my account upgraded.
New LED tail lights looks great on the 4 series LCI, btw.

I have not seen any videos yet of the March 2017 LCI Refresh of the speedo/tach but I found one today that looks like the new LCI refresh, jump to time 3:31 and they quickly show you how it looks in all modes. It looks like the Comfort Mode will retain the analog gauges while the Sport Mode will be digital #'s.

It looks fantastic and the mods make it even better.

Was the ac panel retrofit v easy to do?

Thanks BP.

Panel was easy.

PM Dante on this forum for a Y-Cable for around £25 posted and go and get the panel from your local dealer. Part number in the DIY thread.

Takes 5 mins to swap over and looks great.

Awesome looking GC, but then again I'm partial to CB GC's. The H&R springs and spacers will do the trick with the ride height!

Indeed!!!

Did you manage to get the lip and rear spoiler fitted yet?

Looks great on the H&Rs!

The Trunk Spoiler is resting nicely here at home but is not fitted yet. I will do a full correction and detail closer to spring and I'm holding off on fitting it until then. The front lip is so damn expensive so will likely have to wait until later in the season to get it.

Fair enough, I have the rear spoiler on the way, and ordering the lip tomorrow!

I'll show you how it looks

Or why this was called a grancoupe as opposed to a gran touring?

Coupe refers to the shape of the car and Gran to having more doors than the average coupe.

Hello, new to the forum.
Looking to retire the old lady, an E39 530d, and having some questions about the new 440xi GC.
Already spent some time around here before registering, Speed-NYC has a nice build

howd you do that?

Tommy_hf · 04-17-2017, 11:39 AM

Considering the glow on the tray, it's got the led light lighting the cup holders. Without the led (post 7-2015 cars) you'll need a longer y-cable from the footwell led. (Even with the full lighting package).

On the topic of LCI, it took me a while today to notice the F33 in front of me was LCI, that said... in real life, even for owners and car enthusiasts the LCI lights didn't get noticed right away.

TheBaZic · 04-27-2017, 12:12 PM
