I've been reading Bimmerpost for quite some time now and I've always wanted to know what is meant by "LCI". I know what it entails, but what does LCI stand for exactly?

I almost find the need to avoid any 4GC update thread as 100's of people feel the need to be unique and go on about how they don't get the point of the car.

We get it. We got it the first dozen people said the same thing in the first half a dozen threads.

6GC only has two seats in the back IIRC.

Interior updates are rare in an LCI.

If they offer a panoramic moon roof on the 4 GC similar to the 3 GT, put me down for 2 cars.
