Maybe they fixed the steering and put some of that m3 tech into the eps.

Based on the new M3 I believe that the tail lights will change, lets see.

Fixed.

I believe it will not change, because is going to be too close to the 5 series. Source: Auto Bild.

It is already there.

The current M235i has been dyno'ed at 307whp, or about 350 crank HP at 15% loss.

The E92M only got its taillights updated with the LCI too.

I think technically the standard F10 M5 LCI Xenon/LED DRL are different than the pre-LCI versions. But you have to look closely.

Interesting. Do you have pics?

What do you mean? The new M3 has the same tail lights as the standard F30.

I think we would have seen new tail lights on the camo'd mule, if they were going to update. F25 is the most obvious example. Pre-LCI = standard bulbs. LCI = still standard bulbs.

I don't think the F30 LCI will have LED tail lights. If it would, it would have some camo covering the updated tail light graphics like they did with the LCI F10. You can also clearly see that the front turn signals are xenon with standard bulbs.

I'm seeing more 2 series in the headlights. Like no connecting to kidney maybe?

[SamS]

Like the F25, the E89 did not get a tail light update either, for LCI.

Is it me, or is the attached photo in the message (from r3bimmer89 post #76) showing a different exhaust set up than the OP (Jason)?
if so, Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Comments/Explanations?

[ynguldyn]

No LCI for F8x - correct.

Engine situation described by Jason is specific to the US market. EU will have more engines and their diesels will be replaced with B37/B47.

The pic attached in post #76 is the F10 LCI

[ZooMMM]

Even my bicycle has LEDs. Lol.

Thanks for the clarification/explanation.
BTW- nice looking rear end (exhaust set up) on that 5 series LCI!

I believe that's the 550i pictured, so for that much $$$$, it better have a nice-looking exhaust

[ssstraub]

People in here wanting full LED headlights (fricken HEADLIGHTS!) when BMW can't even seem to offer simple LED turn signals on $50k cars.

I'd be laughing if it wasn't so sad.

My decade old bimmer has full LED brake and turn signals. That is messed up.

It always was always 4 before the e90 06-08 was pre lci so lci was 09-11 but if you think about all the other E chassis pre lci was 4 years

[Presario]

Guarantee we get LED taillights. Might likely not covered yet because they haven't fitted the test mule with them yet. That simple.

That would be bad! I don't like the looks of the 2 series at all.

[Mike_ANAbil]

So much focus on the taillights... i just hope they will make LED headlights an option for this one so i can retrofit them on my wagon
