In terms of light shows, then I agree. I have yet to see any proof that newer matrix lights have the reach of the lasers.

I believe laser lights will have more range...throw like a pencil beam ... But as far as ability to spread light and flood an area, not blinding oncoming traffic... matrix is where it's at. They have some powerful leds out there but the majority of them are not fuctional for a car headlight.

But the problem is they don't engage often unless your on BFE with no cars and no light at speed.

I’ve never liked the grills on any of the newer 4 series offerings

Looks like the grille is here to stay, you can make it out through the outline on the camo

It somewhat looks like they’re separating it, making it above and down below the bumper support

I guess we’ll have to wait and see what they do but hopefully it looks somewhat better

Just Gran Coupe has the flat handles, the coupe and convertible still retained the traditional handles like in the photos.

Im glad the grill is getting upgraded to look like the M3/M4

Exactly if the 3 Series came with Ventilated Seats and Bowers & Wilkins ; I don't see the point of buying any car but an M340i for Daily purposes and some fun. It would literally have everything you want in your fun daily.

I’m most curious if the M3/4 follow the 4 series headlight update as the F8x did, or if they will keep headlights unchanged at LCI like they did with the E9x.

I must say the Laser DRL on the current version look more detailed and premium than these LCI DRL.

If only the 3 series came with 2 doors.

looks like the grill will have the horizontal slates like the ones from China

As a 2022 my m440i owner I'm disappointed with this lci. As far as I can tell the lights are changed for worse? And it retains the Mrs Piggy front..

Last car that isn’t cross eyed… well the i7 isn’t but that’s an entirely different story…

BMW needs to upgrade front tires to at least 245 width, preferably 255. m440 lacks mechanical grip.

omg sideways tooth lights?

Considering there's only been one other generation of 4 series during an era where coupes don't sell, that's not really saying much. The old E92 3 series sold in droves compared to this car.

For a second I forgot that bmw owns rolls and mini lol

Well I was a 3 series coupe fan and they lost me with this G3’s series because of the grill and more specifically the mustang rear. So if they’re selling more it must be to all the Mercedes owners that have been migrating over.

I agree with you 100%. The current 4 is an awkward looking machine, period. Since seeing the M4 in person I get it, and actually think it looks pretty good.

I live in a medium sized city (Ottawa) and barely ever see a new 4. I see far more E92 coupes, which in my opinion are still far better looking. The F series 4 was a pretty good looking car too, but this latest one is just weird. I never liked it.

For what reason? So owners can pull into the gym without experiencing understeer? *Sarcasm*

My 440 GC came with 245 fronts/255 rears.
