The iDrive menus have evolved quite a bit since 2012. Lots of new items in there, like Sport Displays, bluetooth audio, DAB album art and so on. There is also a new instrument under the RPM gauge, showing the fuel consumption. like in older BMWs. The car rev matches when shifting, and I can select both limiter and cruise control from the steering wheel.
Be careful with the M Sport front driving over bumps or slopes as I hit the bottom of my front bummer twice and will need painting. I never had any problem with my 2012 116i

I'll be interest in your fuel consumption as I cannot get my 2015 116i under 7.4 over a months running without resetting and hasn't changed since new with 11,000s on the clock.
