I hate fog lights as well.. Does anyone ever use these things for the purpose intended and do they even help? In my e92 they certainly didn't do anything, but look stupid.

Interested in seeing how the performance tweaks (suspension, engine) add up in the real world.
The exterior seems very minor, although I do like the LCI tails.

Don't fight it. We all know BMW has lost their way and all they care about is getting as much money as they can. Back in the old days of the E30 and E36 and E46 they didn't care if they made money.

You can amuse yourself as much as you want because taste is a very personal thing. And yes, some will always look better than the LCI or even newer models. Your mind is probably bored and used with the current style, and you are embracing the new style mentally, that's it. If I will show you two cars that you never seen, pre LCI and LCI and ask you which is which based on the exterior you will most likely be wrong. New one is not always better. Technically, Maybe. Design wise, not really. Have a look at the E39 M5. A Timeless machine. In the end, be open to other opinions as well. Not everybody needs to embrace a pair of sneakers and yellow sunglasses with a Caraceni suit just because is new, LCI or "fashionable". |

Wow. I too had problems noticing the differences and actually like the look of pre-lci better in most cases. Good to see I won't be wanting to upgrade and can wait to see what the next model brings.

Don't forget e9xs too.. In today's news, BMW finally broke even with the F3x.

I agree with everybody else on the interior comments. The F30 interior quality is so far behind Merc, Audi and others. BMW just never listens to its customers in this regard and it's really disappointing. It looks like I'll be skipping the F generation all together.
I will admit, though, that BMW still makes the best engines, and the Idrive system is the best in the business. If they've managed to improve the steering on the LCI, that would be a huge step back in the right direction. |

And for the guys that don't like the look of the fog lights, fine then let BMW make it an option here in the U.S. I don't care if you guys don't like the so called "look", I want to see where the fuck I am going, and it helps to see the freaking huge pot holes here in the Metropolitan Area. I live on the coast in New York and now in vineyard country, and am always rolling to the beach some where on the East Coast. And if Fog Lights on an M Sport and an M will help us to drive fast and safer at night, well that's what I want and need! |

Seems like much ado about nothing to me. I had to reread the text and then go looking for what was different. I couldn't tell just by quickly scrolling through the pics.
All the best.

It's not a big LCI guys, I started to believe that you don't see the differences here! I like the new look, wish that Xenon lived as standard...Halogen kills the looks...!

I'm glad they didn't change much, as there really wasn't much to change. The headlights look mean. And the tailight are leds.. Thank god. The more features and colors available helps, and the more powerful updated i6 looks fast. I like the refresh.

I can't see much difference, and I'd have trouble spotting an LCI F30 from an pre-LCI on the road. Unless, it is in that super-meh shade of grey. That's the least classy colour yet. Bring back Space Grey or EBII.
