2014 M6 vs 2015 LCI M6 side-by-side comparison?

Does anyone have a 2014 vs 2015 LCI M6 side-by-side comparison picture?

Also, are the 2015 LCI's already available? I have one dealer saying this month is the last month of production for the 2015 model and that the 2016 production starts in March... Didn't the details for the 2015 LCI just get announced in December?

I don't have side by side, but here's a few photos I took today at the NAIAS. Now I can understand what the change is to the iDrive screen. It has a flat panel look with a thinner bright border, but the actual veiwable area is the same.

I also posted a close up of the new 6 headlight and the new M6 exhaust finishers.

Awesome, ya, that definitely makes it clear what the difference is with the screen. Thanks!

Bonz,

Thanks for the close-up pictures.

How did the yellow M6 with all the CF pieces look in person? The pics looked pretty badass, but pics can be deceiving. Not too over-the-top, I hope?

It was totally over the top, but badass nonetheless. I wouldn't want that color in the real world, but it looked great at the show. The interior contrast stitching matched the yellow paint.

Yeah, I'd like to think I could pull that off, but I'm just not that cool. Haha. Maybe the CF rear spoiler on the mirrors and rear diffuser with Carbon Black might be a good compromise. Such a shame that rear isn't compatible with our 650s.

Does anyone know the precise month in 2014 in which BMW began to fit these new style of facelift LCI headlights to the Model Year 2015 F06/F12/F13 M6s? Today, I saw a June 2014-built Model Year 2015 F13 M6 which was still fitted with early-style "launch" headlights, etc.

FYI, 2016 F13 is the LCI model. EOP for the 2015 model is 03/15.

Any idea whether the new headlights and iDrive display will be backwards-compatible to a Model Year 2014 F06 M6? When the BMW press release speaks about the new "stylistic accents in classy black chrome," is this referring to the kidney grills?

Hey when you went to see the LCI 6 did you see any ambient lighting in the car or was it off? apperntly the new LCI has led lighting around the interior like the new x5 and x6 does, ive only seen a screenshot of it on the speakers in blue

There wasn't any power to the car, so I have no idea.

Where/What's your source on this? I never heard anything about the interior and I have a week 16 allocation on an m6 :
