"Why is the BMW 3 Series, an old car being made to take the IIHS small overlap test? Because, a couple of years ago, it forgot to study and flunked it.
The first video, which shows the 2017 3 Series, you will find the second one from November 2015 where a 2016 model year was subjected to the same small overall crash procedure. It looks the same, right down to the color and the shape of the 10-spoke wheels, but the rating has been upgraded from marginal to good. The 2016 model suffered a lot of intrusion into the passenger cabin, with the knees of the driver taking the brunt of the damage from the 3 Series dash. "The dummy's right foot was trapped between the brake pedal and toe pan, and the pedal had to be cut off to free the foot," according to a statement made at the time by the IIHS. However, the 2017 model aced all the test, getting a Good rating for side, moderate overlap, roof strength and head restraints. It also scored "Acceptable" for the headlight strength and Marginal for child seat latch ease of use. Still, the 2017 3 Series sedan is good enough for a Top Safety Pick+ rating from the IIHS." https://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=960897 Late LCI models got a reconfigured suspension setup too. Another +++ for late LCIs, yeeeeeeehaaaaaaa!

Not too thrilled about the interior color extending onto the bottom part of the dash (now matching what the 4 series has). get-9apps.com/index/ get-cartoonhd.com

Long time lurker and didn't want to post a new thread
Got a F30 M sport LCI which I've done the front bumper in. Looking to get a cheap second hand replacement however LCI tyle bumpers are scarce. Is there actually any difference between the M sport non LCI and LCI front bumpers? Will the foglight housing and fog grills still fit if I were to purchase a non lci one? Thanks! |

Mine is a 2014 328i and it experienced the same problem. It wouldnt go out of park. I ended up having it towed to the dealer and they said it was the mectronic unit in the transmission. It cost me a cool 3000 beans.
