M550i Shift Lights

Hello, does the 2021 M550i have shift lights? If so, how do I activate them?

I'm asking because the old 2017-2019 M550i's were able to have them in the gauge cluster.

They were coming with sport transmission on pre-LCI models. But, we couldn't have'em on HUD. Now in LCI models I guess you can have them in HUD.

I have a 2018 M550 and I notice in my tachometer that it will flash red, sort of like a shift light, but nothing in the HUD

I don't believe it is possible, but I'll be starting a road trip tonight, so will try and pay attention/fiddle with settings and let you know if I'm successful.

But think it's only in HUD in Sport modes (a wide rectangular shift light pops up when I click into Sport)
