Okay well assuming stock vs stock, the rumored outputs are higher and I can't see BMW moving in the direction of decreased efficiency. But I suppose it's not over until the fat lady sings

Note that's Xenon vs LED, so when they're both LED/Xenon, they'd look even more similar. You do raise an interesting point though, that the F80 and F82 LCI may keep the F32/F82 Pre-LCI headlights, if BMW follows E90/E92 M3 tradition. I'd guess no, given the "L" shaped headlights seem to be BMW's next core design language, and shorting their flagship model wouldn't bode well for sales.

So I guess I need to revisit things with my dealer. Granted LED's are not a big concern to me, however I have an odd feeling there may be a few extra colour choices. I have an SO on order but would love to get something closer to LSB instead. It really wouldn't hurt all that much if I waited a few more months and see what BMW comes up with for the LCI.

Call me crazy, but I think I like the existing lights better. The new lights transition from a evil look to a more elegant demeanor. I'll have to hold final judgement until I see the final product, but I'm not overly excited.

I'm loving the LCI updates so far. It's hardly a tough decision for me to wait. Plus BMW always finds a way to screw early adopters, so I'm sure the changes will be more than skin deep. Updated nav software, I drive controller, led lights, refreshed front lights and facia, new engines, new model designation, wider array of color choices ... Possibly some updated interior touches, including full leather dash. Did I miss anything?
Yeah, I'll be waiting. Heck, might settle for the 340i and forgo the M3, if the b58 output numbers are to be believed. |

E46 Pre-LCI: Halogens E46 LCI: LEDs (Coupe Only) E90 Pre-LCI: Halogen E90 LCI: LEDs F30 Pre-LCI: Halogen F30 LCI: LEDs Annoying, but I actually don't mind the F30 Halogen tails. Not a huge fan of the non-LED's on the E46 and E90, though. Quote:
Some of those features you mentioned can be had in the 2014/2015 models (leather dash, updated iDrive [NBT]), but the LCI is looking to enhance every aspect of the F30. Really hope they get some of the E90 driving dynamics back, maybe that'll toss it back onto C&D's top 10. |

Oh, and 420 HP is not "far more" than an F8x, which is proven to be underrated. Good luck with that. |

By the time you replace your suspension, add in all these tunes, and factor in potential long-term problems due to pushing your engine 100 over stock numbers, isn't it better to just buy an M3?

Many people go through life and philosophical inquiry will strike without warning; seemingly a common human phenomenon, especially when we are at a cross roads in life or we have experienced some kind of loss, the most reported are: - what is the point of life? - why are we here? - does God exist? - if a tree falls in the forest and no one is there does it make a sound? - why do BMW put incandescent bulbs on a new version of a car that had LED bulbs previously? |

If I'd have to worry about what the LCI would get, I'd never buy a car. As soon as the LCI is out, you'd wonder why you should buy the LCI and not wait out for the G-series 3 series.... oh wait... it never stops....

Everything else aside, it will certainly affect the resale value of your out-dated car. Don't compare this to any other LCI. |

Would like it a lot, cause xenon and other stuff is very expensive here in Denmark and the leases here are therefore without it as standard (But LOVE the rings on a BMW)

We're (as far as I know) talking about tweaked head/tail lamps and an evolutionary bump in power; it's not like the E9x change in engines to turbo. |
