Typically the LCI's can really improve from original release and everyone usually wants the newer models due to HP increases, better handling etc etc. They would call it a competition model per say. Well we already have that so....

We'll obviously have to wait for the official release but at this point I'm not sure what would make you want to run right out and get the LCI unless you wanted the new screen?

It is what it is, right?
It’s not like there is another car like it take or leave the styling.

That being said… there is very little difference here, splitting hairs.

I think the G80 looks great.

Yea.
It’s just this.


I’m well over the grill.
Couldn’t care in the least anymore, and neither does anyone else except about 7 or 8 people on this forum.

What’s done is done.
Car looks good from a lot of angles and although the front is not how I would have designed it, I also don’t give a shit anymore.

A good example of don't fix what's not broken.

Not a fan of the new DRL's but whatever. They look fine.

When half dozen after market companies design multiple iterations of the OEM grill trying to make it look better I think that says something. And it ain’t good.

Wasn’t gonna happen on the LCI. Too expensive.

Never heard of F cars having cooling issues either tho. On the contrary actually…

Why? I can find a hundred body kits for cars like a MK 4 Supra, NSX etc.

Never mentioned anything about the F model.

Interesting…diffuser looks more rectangular than pre LCI. Looks less aggressive in rear and 3/4 view. Always a matter of personal taste. I was concerned about a major facelift to the front fascia. Honestly, I love the big mouth on my 2022 G80 x drive comp. Beast of a vehicle!

It’s a sales success.

I don’t like it and haven’t considered it. I’m in the minority.

[WraithM5]

Damn they’re not “ fixing the grill” like everyone said they would. Suck it haters

[BMWRacer523]

so pretty much as expected (aside from the non availability of laser lights which is a bummer). not sure why anyone would have an expectation of an entire front end redesign for an LCI?

That's all I was saying; and I was talking about retrofitting the standard or laser headlights from a non-LCI to replace these new snake-eyes.

That's literally the definition of retrofit. Remove and replace with new.

I have yet to see one Adro bumper in the wild. And not many here. So.

It's funny, Laserlight was offered on pre-LCI G20, but not on the LCI.

Here in Australia you could get it on a 320i if you wanted to (2022 model below).

Here come all the grille haters.

We get it you don’t like it. Cool story.

I’m not the hugest fan either. But I am buying one despite it. Why? Because no car is perfect. And if the less than beautiful nose is the only thing you. An come up with, well, BMW is winning.

Doesn’t seem to be hurting sales either.

So go ahead and call it ugly. BMW DGAF.

Because they don’t LIKE it and want it changed. You know. Why shouldn’t BMW listen to them?

Ummm you’re barking up the wrong tree lol I’ve owned a g80 since Nov ‘21. I’m fine with the grille and how the car looks. I’m more concerned with how cars drive than looks anyway. I just meant that it was what we expected since 2 years ago when it was released. BMW doesn’t make wholesale front end changes for LCI updates.

Upgrade in power but downgrade in looks with the new headlight design.
