Boy am I glad I own a 2009 135i!!!

John_01 · 01-17-2010, 04:07 PM

The larger kidney grill is a good update, but I prefer the M-Sport LCI e92 pics posted elsewhere.

Dont like it. Dumbo Ears. Front lights are a no go. Looks like the current e90 ones with eye lids.

Chopstick217 · 01-17-2010, 04:43 PM

Nice job on the side by side comparision!

GnokGnik · 01-17-2010, 04:53 PM

Imo, the E90 was improved tremendously with the LCI E90. It seems like the E92 LCI is just a change for change's sake....just to make (the better looking) pre-LCI look older.

I am 45-55 in favor of the Pre-LCI E92...not too much difference there.

mr_nelson · 01-17-2010, 05:01 PM

how come it's the same guy driving as in 2006?
maybe he is photoshopped from a drivers template

southlight · 01-17-2010, 05:20 PM

I added two more pictures.

Best regards,

KonigsTiger · 01-17-2010, 05:47 PM

I think the guy in the red e92 looks much older.

thanks good info!

Thanks to southlight for posting the comparison. When I look at the cars side by side, the new version looks a bit overdone.

Nothing too different in my opinion.

strider41 · 01-17-2010, 07:12 PM

Thanks for taking the time and effort to show and compare the LCI and Pre LCI. At first, I thought I preferred the LCI tail lights over the current model and did not like any of the other changes. After seeing them side by side, I've changed my opinion. Pre-LCI all the way!

BKsBimmer · 01-17-2010, 07:23 PM

Nicely done. The subtle changes definitely give it a fresher look.

chanceparker · 01-17-2010, 07:28 PM

I'm a BMW fan and have owned 3 (E36 M3, e46 328, E90 335) but I'm continually surprised about how much $ BMW spends on mid-cycle changes that most consumers will never even notice.

This is another example. Most people won't even notice. And for the record, I think I like the pre-LCI a little better.

True, but what I think is important to also take into consideration is that apart from BMW, Mercedes, Audi, and a few others, most other companies have 4 to max 5 year life cycles (Japanese, American - typical cars with biggest market).

Because of their high R&D costs, and because they are general ahead on design, performance, and technology, the higher-end companies keep their designs for a longer period, and I think they need a mid-cycle refresh to keep the line going.
