EU: Considering trading M240i xDrive for Dark Horse

[FlyingToaster]

Hi guys,

New here. I was considering trading my 2023 BMW M240I xDrive for a DAAARK HOORSEE here in the EU but I had a few questions about it;
1. Is it possible to change the MPH dials to KM? For example, in the Foxbody cluster, I want the needle to point at actual KM numbers not KM underneath the original MPH.
2. What is your actual milage in city? (fully and daily city driving in sport/track mode)
3. Does anybody know the actual differences between US/EU spec aside from less HP/NM?

But then there are a few deal breakers for me, which I am curious to your opinion about it;
- The car has no HUD and sunroof.
- Terrible choices in upholstery options

Actual dealbreaker is that the car has no 360 camera or even a front sensor! What?! Any chance of a 360 camera/park sensors on upcoming models/facelifts?

I'm getting between 14.7 and 18 litres per 100kms around town. Foot weight dependant.
I believe the particulate filters are the reason for the missing 50 horsies. Not sure of other differences.
It might be my vision, but HUD's don't work for me, and when I had a sunroof two cars ago, I rarely had it fully open because of windblast, most of the time it was closed and the shade covering it.
You can fit front sensors and/or a cam, not as convienient as factory, but it'll do the job.
I had sensors fitted, but the installer stuffed up the install. I'm about to fit a reversing cam at the front on mine.
5.0 ALM has a vid showing a front camera install.
One thing is certain, you won't see thousands of Mustangs in your travels.
Beemers are like rectums, everyone has one.

No problems at all to change the MPH dials to KM. Lots of settings in the software.

The power difference is entirely above 6k rpm so nothing to worry about.

Speedo can be changed as you like.

EU spec differences - door mirrors are different and include BLIS, different seat headrests, bit of a hybrid spec compared to the multitude of US options.

No chance of camera changes - they have been the same since the S550 came out 10 years ago.

There is no choice of interior - black leather or nothing. Standard seats are very nice though.

I daily drive mine - get about 28 mpg average, 30+ on a decent motorway run. Track will be single figures!
