There might be another car with possible tail light changes. I dont remember if the G20 got a tail light refresh with its LCI. If it did , id imagine it would look similar to that.

Good to see they haven't decreased the aggressive large nostril size (yet). I prefer this sporty design over the mundane mini-nostrils they been putting on the other models. Maybe one of these will be in my future after all.

Hard to see much. Regardless I put my deposit down last month for a 25 and first on the list. Hoping for some new colors.

Why would anyone think a major reduction in the front grille opening was practical? The engineers are already on record that the frontal area needed is a result of their engineering targets for the car... it's a functionality requirement.

Definitely a downgrade on the headlights. No diffrerentiation between a regular 3 series and these.

Is this the cameo with the carbon pack optioned, if so then not much of a change other than headlights…?
I’d like to see a cleaner, more integrated design of the front lip and not sure I like what they’ve done with the headlights on the X5 which this may imitate. It seems as though BMW keeps fixing things that aren’t broken, guessing it’s to cut costs..? |

Looks to me like this is the biggest area of differentiation. HOWEVER, it does look like MAYBE there is some additional separation between the grilles at the top, leading to more "cleavage"? Hard to tell between the camo and the photo angles. I'd give this one about a 70% chance of being right. |

in those comparison pics, the bumpers look pretty much exactly the same assuming it's equipped with the carbon bumper inlets. Not seeing any change besides the headlights.

So, no lasers. I think I made the bumper changes already by doing a CSL kit. And we’re lucky the manual is staying.
Meh. *Buys out lease*

So happy my preLCI is going to be a more desirable version of the car.
Most gorgeous looking laser headlights in history of BMW. |

That front .... between the slant eyes and all the intakes on either side, I'm torn between "super aggressive but maybe a little better looking given that it still has nostrils" and "predator face".
Love love love the frozen silver though. |

BMW must have really had trouble with lasers (production? Cost?)
I think they absolutely make the car, and I really haven’t liked the new headlight design that I’ve seen on the new 3er. The lasers just look more premium and was another point of differentiation from every other 3 series.
