M3 M4 G8X - LCI Rendering (New DRL)

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Hi guys,

This week the first spyshots of the 4 series LCI have appeared. I really can‘t see a lot of changes in the front of the car except the new light signature and probably a new grill insert. As we all know the 4 series shares its headlights with the M4/M3. This quick rendering shows how that change would look like.

Do you like the update?

Great render, but I’d honestly rather take the X7/7 DRL than these and the X5/X6.

But more than that would prefer they just keep the lasers.

I like it more than I thought I would - looks pretty aggressive in these renders. Would have to see it in real life though.

Definitely like the 77 design here better than the >> design on the new X5/6 but overall I prefer the current DRLs based on aesthetics.

Add some black accent on the front bumper around the grille area, like in the LCI X5 front bumper.

It’s not terrible but I prefer the current headlight design over this.

525 hp for x drive? M4 x is going to be more powerful vs m3? Marketing or some factory tuning involved?
Or is it for real LCI in 3/24

What is the one this year? Make up session for lights and id8?

This is a thread about headlights. What are you referring to?

Thread is about LCI - so Im confused - it is not really an LCI this year - but a cosmetic make up.

Real LCI is in a year from now 3/24 with HP update according to the latest insider info on the future model thread.

That's rough, especially because the current Icon Laser lights are beautiful.

I prefer the current design although it could simply be based on familiarity at this point. They both look fine to me though.

I think I'm with you on this for this particular design, though I did like when they introduced the more 'hexagonal' look to them. Especially on the previous 2-series/M2/C.

But admit that I like the new headlights, especially on the X5/6/7.

Knowing that Porsche is increasing pricing substantially soon, I expect BMW to follow with that pattern (as prices have already increased...).
I don't think I'll delay my order for the LCI, partially due to pricing. but mostly because I'm impatient and totally sick of driving an "SUV".

Pretty neat, I like how it lines up with the air duct on the bottom. My OCD is pleased.
