Rendering: G20 3 Series LCI based on leaked bumper

Bmw43 · 07-21-2021, 04:17 AM

Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

Hi guys,

after the bumpers and headlights of the 3 series lci leaked, I had to do an update of my 3 series lci rendering. I have initially thought the leak shows the base version, but after I have rendered it there is no doubt this is the M Sport. What do you think of the new design?

Cheers!

Not a big fan of the 5 series headlights, but glad the 4 series grill is not present.

Look! It's and Audi AND a BMW!

Looks good but I still think my next car will be the newly released RS3. Much nicer than the new 2 and 3 series IMO

Looks really good. Not that I thought the current iteration was bad (I never minded the notched headlights), but this LCI refresh brings the look closely in line with the current 5 series LCI refresh, which to me is definitely a good thing.

Looks so good. Perfect for those who don't want the 5 series size but loves the 5's design

Add a power dome hood sans the useless/heinous hood valleys + CF roof and it is ten fold better than the G80.

Thankful for normal grilles

Fuck that was fast

BimmerVinyl · 07-21-2021, 01:15 PM

Could be way worse. I'll take it.

SFBavarianArea · 07-21-2021, 01:17 PM

Something about the headlights don't seem right…like there's missing detail in the surrounding areas and no BMW logo plastered on it

I think you nailed the description there. I love the new 5 LCI design, but the size of the car just doesn't make sense for me. This may be the answer. Wish they would incorporate a look similar to this for the M3/M4. I still can't get behind the big grills there.

NoSugar · 07-21-2021, 01:28 PM

Love it!! Thank you!!

Does anyone know how soon this will be stateside in the US?

Can we order a 2022 LCI yet?

440xiGCMSport2 · 07-21-2021, 01:33 PM

Looks good. Maybe someone is listening and stopping the big ugly grilles.

adambmw · 07-21-2021, 01:34 PM

Why have they taken the kink out the headlight, I love that detail.

Least they haven’t messed with the grill size I guess....

Bahn360Photo · 07-21-2021, 01:35 PM

M3 render?!

stein_325i · 07-21-2021, 01:36 PM

Looks fine, so far preferring the pre-facelift though.

5 series headlights have the DRLs upside down

M3 takes on the front from the 4 series so there wouldn't be a need to do a render at this time. The 3 series LCI should bring the updated interior to the M3 and then when the 4 series gets it's LCI the M3 should then get the front end changes.

Really nice render

Interesting BMW didn't put their outlandish front grill on their bread and butter three series
