I like it, but maybe not the interior. I have an M340 on order, not sure if I want to hold out for this. It looks like there may be some fun new colors too. I will likely just keep my order and if it gets bumped it gets bumped.

Exactly, it's not like the technology or design set up doesn't exist. Many customers globally live in hot or tropical climates. It's just poor decision making, but that wouldn't be a first for this brand.

One of the videos said BMW is dropping laser lights entirely for Matrix LED.

IMO, it doesn’t look terrible. I don’t care for the rear diffuser and the lack of a gear shift knob. After watching a video on the i4, the screen setup and idrive 8 look good. I just wish they would have kept the climate control button strip plus the 1-8 buttons. I use those all the time, and digging through a screen and menus isn’t as convenient.

That rear diffuser is up it's own ass.

Just fell deeper in love….. with my Pre-LCI.

Certainly looks a bit better than the leaked photos but the "refresh" is just uninspiring - more so the interior!

BMW really needs to redesign the Steering Wheel. It makes the car look dated. They've been using the same design for over a decade. Time for something new.

[QUOTE=chicagofan00;28916110]It's….OK. Not feeling a few parts of it and still not liking the iDrive 8 tacked on screens (just wish they were better integrated) but overall not a terrible LCI.

I do believe the screen is an option

Apparently the idrive menus are completely customizable so it does seem the bets are on that feature being the saving grace alternative.

I believe they dropped them and went to Matrix LEDs as it's cheaper, less legal issues, and can put out similar light output.

Well this looks 100x better than the leaked pics from a few days ago.

I love it, inside and out.

Thumbs up on the front redesign.

Thumbs down on the rear redesign and the lack of shortcut buttons.

Thumbs WAY down on the gear shifting nub. At least Porsche's looks like a Braun shaver.

Well done BMW

I quite like it.. maybe more than the pre LCI. Definitely want to get my hands on ID8.
