Latest G20 / G21 3-Series LCI facelift refresh info
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com G20/G21 refresh is disappointing. Yes, it will have the new dash and some exterior and interior changes. However, the powertrains will remain the same across the board, with the lonely (and pretty much irrelevant) exception of Euro-only Alpina B3 bumping the power to 490hp. The models for G20/G21 LCI and two new G26 models are now: G20 LCI: 318i, 320i, 320ix, 330i, 330ix, M340i, M340ix, 320e, 330e, 330ex, 316d, 318d, 320d, 320dx, 330d, 330dx, M340dx, Alpina B3, Alpina D3S G21 LCI: 318i, 320i, 320ix, 330i, 330ix, M340ix, 320e, 330e, 330ex, 316d, 318d, 320d, 320dx, 330d, 330dx, M340dx, Alpina B3, Alpina D3S G26: 430dx, M440i Related thread: G20 3 Series LCI Facelift Leaked (Photos) Last edited by ynguldyn; 08-14-2021 at 12:12 PM.. |

We don't get a 316D in the UK...assume thats the C.C. punishing markets like Greece? |

Go to Florida or SoCal and you'll see 95% RWD models in inventory.

The headlights look nice though. More pronounced open angel eyes. They're not even eyes anymore really, more like angel eyebrows lol

Why is it disapointing?
Who cares about power train upgrades. Just give me an electric touring, couldn't care less for all the fossil fuel ones. In the interior is where I am when driving, those upgrades on the other hand is what's important. |

That was my initial thought as well, but I kind of just think about it as two physically different body styles but with several configurations, similar to how options work. The different powertrains and engines are just options, but happen to have different model designations. Imagine if they also had different model numbers if you spec'd adaptive suspension, different packages, or things like that.
