2015 vs 2019 Gran Coupe

jd_perspective · 12-11-2018, 01:16 PM

I was trying to find what has changed over the model years but I cannot really pin point any decent comparisons. Anyone want to help me out?
I have a way to get back into a GC and I am chomping at the bit (yes my 3 is OK but I miss the hauling/sleekness of the 4)

There's a long list but the car looks physically the same. LCI (2017, 2018, 2019) brought a list of enhancements (I have a 2016 which is half-LCI (seems to have mix of both)...

- New iDrive 5 then iDrive 6
- New center trim (for the HVAC)
- LED headlights
- LED taillights
- New bumper (on Sport models and Luxury line)
- Available digital cluster
- New wheel options
- New engines
- ? That's all from memory!

The biggest change is the 6 cylinder engine: B58 in the newer model vs N55. As good as N55 might be (and it is very good), B58 performance is just fantastic and even better than that with MPPSK (factory tune + exhaust = fully warrantied).

The six cylinder is optional but the 4 was also updated. Not sure but it is possible m sport is now standard as it is now standard on 340i though you can downgrade to sport line for free.
