2015 650i Xdrive Cabriolet digital cluster??? Present or absent???

I just picked up my 2015 650i Xdrive Cabriolet. When I test drove the car I drove the 2015 Coupe as the cab wasn't at the dealer.

Loved it and got it with the M-package, etc.. I noticed today that it doesn't have the digital cluster like the coupe I drove.

I thought this was standard in the 2015 model year. Can someone clarify for me whether this is the case before I talk to the dealership.

is this standard for 2015 cabriolet in Canada. The website in Canada shows the digital cluster in it's pictures. I know there are mid-cycle changes for the 2016 model year in Canada and perhaps this is where the digital cluster appears.

Any accurate information or insight would be greatly appreciated.

oh man, that'd be one disappointing revelation after purchase. my 2015 gran coupe in the US has it if that helps in any way. i didn't even notice the cluster when i bought it, but when i got a 3 series loaner without it, i nearly threw up on the dash

In the U.S., the digital dash only comes on the "M Sport Edition". That's different than the "M-Sport Package". I don't know if the M Sport Edition even comes in X Drive.

That would explain it. Mine has the M-Sport Package and not the M-Sport edition. I'm not a happy camper. I assume mine would still have the 8-speed transmission and not the older 7-speed??

Correct -
the M Sport Edition includes the M Sport Package as well as the Digital Instrument Cluster and some other goodies, saving lots of money compared to the individual options.

shpritz - look at your sticker. Do you have the $3,900 CAD M-Sport Package or $9,200 CAD M-Sport Edition?

I have the M Sport Package, Executive Package, Premium Seating Package, Amaro Brown Full Merino Leather package. I guess that explains why I don't have the digital dash. Goes to show you should always test drive the one your buying before paying. Stock isn't as available up here. Took the Coupe for a test drive that must have had the M-Sport Package and hence the confusion... Figure M is M... I assume everything else is the same though with the drivetrain and transmission?

Yes and personally, for me, I much prefer your dash vs. the gimmicky digital one.

Yes I will be OK with the Analog as well as long as the rest of the car is the same, ie; new 8-speed versus old 7-speed, etc...

Easy way to find out.
Go to highway ( Motorway or TransCanada) flip the shifter to the left. Accelerate and shift. Keep shifting. See how far it'll go :-)

Car has always had an 8-speed trans Check out page 6 to see what you didn't get (and of course remember, the M Sport Edition is a bunch more money)

Had a peak at the link to the Canadian brochure above.
Does this mean you can't get the 640 either Coupé or Vert in Canada? And all come x-drive only?

I have a 2014 M sport cab and I love the digital display. It changes based on the driving mode and lighting conditions. I love putting it in sport mode and seeing everything go angry red.

You can easily retrofit it if you really want it. I did this on my car before the msport edition existed.

Dealership came through for me. Threw me a large credit towards the install of DINAN Stage 1 Chip plus/or Exhaust and will do it at cost for my trouble. I can't complain they have been very fair with me. There was confusion between the M-sport edition versus M-Sport Package when it was ordered. I like the analog dash and would prefer a little louder exhaust so I am a happy. Love the car. It is a bit of a pig on gas. Probably the extra weight of X-drive.

LOL. Didn't bother me that much. All my previous BMW's have had their Analog display. The Red display in Sport would have probably made me crazy at night. Dealership came through so I am a happy camper again.
