it is a non sense. If the hardware is the same, the different M view is just something about software coding, so if the 2020 doesn’t show the cockpit in that way it means that the hardware is different.
Well yes and no. It is only a software component that is changed. I think though that it literally just doesn't exist in the pre LCI. Something that can't just be turned on by coding cuz it doesn't exist in the car.

It is activated by a different hardware button that exists only in the new M8 and M5 but it still is software that if existed could be told to come on when you put the engine in Sport+ mode or something. It comes on in Track mode I believe in the LCI.

Either way can't be done which is unfortunate if that's something you liked.
