2025 BMW M440i LCI

[@ta4504]

this lci version is one of the best looking cars I've seen in many years

[@3st3y]

what is lci?

[@Chris_Caldwell]

@3st3y LCI stands for Life Cycle Impulse. Basically a facelift/refresh of the styling.

[@3st3y]

@@Chris_Caldwell ok i was sure it had something to do with facelift, what made them name it that way?

[@ethanthomas8531]

I had no idea they gave the new LCI a flat bottom steering wheel! That is definitely an upgrade. Did that do that for the 340i as well?

[@blackjack21477]

Its such a crime against humanity that merino leather (especially tartufo) is not offered in the US and only through their individual program with an inflated price

[@mrraffle81]

I like the old beaver grill better,if they wanted to improve the grill,they should made it metal instead of plastic

[@crvgt]

Thanks for the video. I've noticed on a couple of these 2025 LCI videos some differences in the button layout on the left side of the steering wheel. Specifically some showing the cruise control distance buttons and others, like on this model, not having them. Does this mean this model does not have the automatic cruise control? Or do some models, depending on options, move those controls into idrive?

[@Chris_Caldwell]

Those controls appear when the vehicle is equipped with the advanced driver’s assistance package.

[@iandavies9576]

In the uk those buttons only exist if the vehicle is equipped with the BMW “Technology Plus Pack” which mainly comprises the radar controlled cruise control. It’s a fairly pricey optional extra, but IMHO worth it.

[@manofsesame3024]

The LCI just updated the front grill into the same one as the G82?

[@almcdaniel1035]

First grill was a lil busy , I like this one better

[@autolovers1]

I’m extremely surprised why it not have back wheels little bit bigger… in every sport model back tire is bigger

[@Chris_Caldwell]

It does have a staggered setup with a wide rear wheel and tire.

[@SergeiFedorov77]

I don't quite feel the rear lights...can't put my finger on it.. But pre lci looked better for some reason. Don' t like the new front lights either, they're like snake eyes.. Oh well, guess I'm conservative.

[@yashgupta585]

Which color is this? Black or gray?

[@Chris_Caldwell]

Black Sapphire Metallic

[@Navvvvvvvvvv]

How does the exhaust sound compared to pre lci?

[@Chris_Caldwell]

I didn’t notice a difference in exhaust sound between the two. Sounds great though!

[@777RY]

I think people say they have less burble, could be wrong though.

[@MATCHPNT]

Definitely more muted compared to the pre LCI because the B58 in the MY25 now has the OPF in the US and Canada.Allen also did a video of the MY25 and he tested the exhaust sound in sport plus.The exhaust sound was very muted.It was even quieter then the pre LCI in comfort mode.
