I’m so happy that they didn’t screw up the exterior front fascia by giving it an oversized grille. Beautiful car design!

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

[@binflydushy]

normal grill is getting boring and if you don’t like the new one more than the old, you just don’t wanna accept it.

[@Leo.AC.]

I agree

[@ctm9364]

The big grills are only for luxury models. This is because the Japanese market is the main inspiration for the big grill. Otherwise the models which arent luxury models dont need to have big grills and are mainly targeted at mainstream market

[@marquestonhall6815]

Physical buttons for climate control would have been much better. Sometimes less technology is more. Beautiful car though.

[@quitegenius]

Yes, but it costs money. And we all know these luxury brands are all about saving money, uh…sophistication I mean.

[@marquestonhall6815]

@@quitegenius Absolutely right! Plus, if something goes wrong with screen, it’s more money in their pockets. Lol. You know they’ll never let us win. 🤣

[@BMWROYAL]

Agreed there choosing looks over function, a lot of the controls are hidden in menus which require you take your eyes of the road versus being able to feel around for a button. This is not only more work but also more dangerous

[@shahriarhakim6673]

taking away buttons and tactility and replacing them with touch screen is not a technological upgrade. Its not the same as smartphone and buttonphones where the touch screen brought a whole lot of utility

agreed 2022 models don’t even have a on and off AC button. you have to go through the idrive menu just to access. such an inconvenience

[@BurningAlive13]

I like the exterior updates overall. Really not a fan of the wide screen for the interior. I much prefer a gauge cluster and physical buttons for HVAC. There's nothing preventing glare on the screen behind the steering wheel and using a touch screen for HVAC settings is inherently less convenient and safe.

[@matijanovosel4437]

i love the wide screen 😍

[@MK4vDubbin]

It’s not very well integrated and I’d assume is probably cheaper for BMW in the long run while promoting it as an “upgrade”. I can see them copy and pasting this same screen across various models and save themselves from having to design and manufacture unique gauge clusters for each model.

[@Ultimatepanzer]

Strongly agree, they did this also in the E60 by hiding most HVAC settings in the iDrive which was one of the few things that let the car down, so much so they ditched it completely in the F10 and G30 but here we are again.

[@Miguelito0oO]

@@ironhide_1012 guess why the ‘minimal’ changes

[@mihnealazar7039]

@@Miguelito0oO he just said why. Because they didn’t change and body panels: this is a facelift, they change stuff while keeping the proportions the same. A big grille would not fit with the bonnet, so they couldn’t do it. Another reason is that that’s not BMW’s strategy. The 1, 3 and 5 series, x1, x3 and x5 will keep the horizontal grille for now. The X7 and i7 get split headlights, while the 4 gets agressive big grilles and perhaps the X4 will as well.

[@1beck2en3ham]

I prefer the pre-LCI version but the LCI version is not bad and most people may prefer the LCI because of the big curve touch screen. I don't like the new big curve touch screen because Benz did it before. The headlamps with jagged lines in the pre-LCI version look more attractive but the animation headlamps in the LCI is good.

[@asdasd-sb9bk]

Yeah, pre-LCI had more character

[@jetlifing]

Even if they had identical interiors/tech I’d still go with the LCI..the front end looks sportier and the curved kidney grills look more aggressive..like the ones on the 8 series ..They should’ve been gloss black though..but that’s an easy fix

[@HiddenWen]

People were always pointing out how bad the old C-class and Audi A4's slapped on infotainment screen looked. BMW definitely went backwards with their decision to replace their fine interior with that huge, poorly integrated screen. If you're going to do it this way, then you lose what made you special, and the existing Mercedes models do it better.

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

I mean at least now they're on par with Mercedes. Audi just needs to catch up

[@SnjurCro]

@@Daniel-dj7fh sadly they did it worse. This looks really cheap if you compare it vs pre-LCI. I can understand it in electric cars but for regular car this is downgrade in all directions. Honestly Audi for now have the best balance of German big three.

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

@@SnjurCro What makes everything worse, you are pretty much paying 10-15k more than what you would have 4 years ago

[@SnjurCro]

@@Daniel-dj7fh and they made interior "cheap". I don't know how but they definitely lost sport ride feel inside. The only thing in class where 3 series was better than competition Merc/Audi. I know that inflation is part of the life but this is huge jump with downgrade experience. My goal for new car was maybe this LCI for 2 years but l'm sure that would something else now.

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

@@SnjurCro I think the 3 big German fims are the same thing, they offer the same with different looks. One company oofers one thing better but two things worse, vice versa. Even VW is asking way too much for their stuff atm. The VW Polo we got 3 years ago costs 10k more, you get nothing more. Except maybe 1-2 more driving assistants nobody needs or uses.

[@edovol3]

I've been a BMW customer for many years (M3s, 5 series and many others), and I always loved the distinctive and sporty traits their cars had. This time, however, I think that the LCI exercise did not work. The exterior design lacks personality vs the original G21, while the interior, with the long un-integrated display, looks simply ugly. Also the dashboard graphics used for Idrive 8 (with the 2 'boomerangs') look odd, cheap and confusing: really bad altogether. I ordered few weeks ago an M240i which I just discovered will share the same interiors...and I'm disappointed to the point I'm trying to get the order cancelled.

Do you really need to take your eyes on the road because you need to check to see if your automatic is still in D??

I'm a 2014 428i owner. I have been waiting for the new 4 series to upgrade to 440i. When the controversial (read: hideous) design came up, I just couldn't order the car. The money was ready and I knew the car was great other than the outer design. But the design ruined everything. So I decided to go for 3 series. M340 looked cool (though, not a coupe cool). I realized the LCI was coming up and waited for it to put an order. Now with the new interior, I will just try to go with some other brand. I still love BMW engines and think they are the best among the other German brands (except Porsche). But the design department keeps messing up these beautiful machines.
