I just sat in the M850i during the OTA upgrade to 03/2021.50. It was interesting as throughout the process various buttons, etc. would flash, light up, etc. In fact when the start button lit up it was the first time I realized that there is actually translucent letters below the actual button. I would have thought that perhaps they were repeated "start" or something along those lines but apparently they are just gibberish but none the less a cool aesthetic.
I also finally got a decent pic of the "8" within the crystal shifter. The irony is my wife talked me into it when I was placing my order as the loaner we had for a weekend from my dealer had the crystal shifter. Originally in my mind I was putting that $600 towards either the carbon roof or B&W options. Nonetheless I now find it also a cool aesthetic for the cabin and to quote Mat Watson when he reviewed the M850i he too fell in love with the "chintzy" of the crystal shifter.
