I think BMW will change the 4 Series grill for the LCI
For the LCI, I’ll bet that they will make the top of the grill lower so it lines up with the line running along the top of the headlights. This will make it look less goofy and less like a dog with its own balls in its mouth.
It’s weird because the pre-LCI model is usually the purest form (original intent) of the design language (e.g. E92). For the LCI, they then add superfluous lines here and there that actually weaken the car (garish eyelids, rounded flares) etc. It’s cheaper than designing a whole new car and people who bought the “new” version must stand put against the people with the old version. On G22 it looks like it will be a rare deviation from this principle where the LCI will likely look better design wise than the pre LCi. Technically of course the LCI is better in every way. But in terms of design lines it’s usually a garish mutation of the original. |

I doubt they change much of the size or shape of the grill. There may be a change to the face of the grill, or some new trim for the surround, but that will be about it. And, contrary to the hopes of some, the LCI will not occur for at least a few years. This new 4 and it’s grill are part of the i4 campaign which will be important to BMW, and that’s still more than a year away from release.
