This article says iDrive 9 will be rolled out on newer models with updated heat units:
"As for the new iDrive 9, that will begin rolling out on newer cars, which will use a newer Android-based operating system. However, its user interface will be nearly identical, save for a few small new features that are only available with the Android OS. The first cars to received iDrive 9 will be the Mini Countryman and BMW X1/X2. Then, all Neue Klasse models will be iDrive 9-based as well." https://www.bmwblog.com/2023/03/08/b...ve-8-5-update/ |

not everyone wants that fake obnoxious boy-racer stuff, for a lot of us it's a feature not a bug that BMW dropped that crap with the later model years

Noway. I have just seen LCI M340i. It looks like class better and much expensive car compared to my pre-LCI model. The difference is huge. Pre-LCI M340i looks like normal boring sedan while LCI model looks more sporty and expensive. Please get LCI

To me LCI looks less edgy than pre-LCI, e.g. the front bumper no longer has the notch extended into the headlight, but I haven't paid enough attention to the rest of the car to see if LCI has better/more expensive features than pre-LCI. |

The other day it was still chilly in Chicago and I wanted the car warm overall, but it was very sunny and up top I needed some cooler output. I used the physical temperature wheel adjustment frequently in all my previous 3ers and it was super easy to do.

In California, we don’t really need to worry so much about that. Either it’s hot, or it’s chilly.

I couldn’t get it to make a shortcut to the page/screen where the adjustment is made. I was surprised, because I thought you could make a shortcut straight to anything.

I have to disagree…but its all subjective and as I already mentioned: I don’t think the LCI is bad in any way, its just not my preference. If I were purchasing an M340 now, and only the 23MY was available then I would think it is great. But I have a 2022 and love it, and really don’t think I’m missing anything with the LCI.

That’s not the only reason why you’d need to adjust. I use it all the time right after I come out of the gym all sweaty. Nice to adjust without touching the set temperature for the cabin. I miss the physical wheel so much coming from E90.

The G20 was never on my radar until the LCI. The pre-LCI front end so so nondescript right now. Almost every VW headlight DRL design looks like the pre-LCI headlights. And the Civic headlights also kinda look similar with the eyelash turn signals. In the dark in your rear view mirror, it would be harder to pick out the pre-LCI G20 at the moment. For now, the LCI headlights look unique, until someone else copies it! I also like the newer front bumper and the rear diffuser. The vertical reflectors on the back look sportier. As for the inside, I like the curve display. But also wish they had at least kept the HVAC hard buttons. However saying that, automatic climate control is so good that even in winter I only go back and forth from 17 to 18 Celcius. The only real thing that bugs me is the 2 blank buttons on the left side of the dash where all the lighting controls are. I assume one is for the front dogs lamps and the other for the rear. Would have been great if they occupied it with some Driving Assistance features like Lane Keep Assist and something else! |
