Engines and LCI are two totally different things. They often coincide, but there's no dependency either way.

So, to clarify:
- 2016 M2 - not LCI
- 2017 230i and M240i - not LCI, just new engines, plus whatever parts BMW adds across the board for the new model year (in this case wifi hotspot)
- 2018 230i and M240i - LCI with engines introduced a year earlier.
- 2018 M2 will get new LCI design features in the places that it shares with regular 2er cars. Whether it will also be called LCI, is unknown - BMW is very inconsistent in that regard when it comes to M cars.
Thanks for this clarification. I guess you haven't heard anything about the M2 Csl on your side yet?
