Best regards,

After watching this e92 video, I don't think the car has lost ANY of it's sexyness. I need to see the headlights in person to judge how these eyebrows look, but they look good in the video!! Thanks for posting that!

To me it does, unfortunately. In the video the headlight and kidney grille change looks even worse than in the pictures.

Mann.. those videos bummed me out... for a sec I thought they migrated over to white angel eyes

Zunkung · 01-18-2010, 11:26 AM

Ummm,,,interestinggg

Somehow, It is appeared to me that all of the New LCI E92/E93 in almost all of the new updated pics & vidoes are looks better than the first set of their pics. (M-Sport does looks really good IMO)

Or,,,

It has already grew on mee!!!!!!!!!!!!!

e90fanatic · 01-18-2010, 11:30 AM

anybody know if sedan will get this engine at the same time?

Tallest · 01-18-2010, 11:43 AM

Unreal how much better it's gotten with so few touches. The extra overhang makes all the difference, it doesn't look like a leech anymore or fat cow in terms of proportions. No more fat middle part. Well done BMW, very very good facelift, now i like the coupe AND would like to buy one too!!!

+1.The LCI actually looks pretty good in the vid. I can't wait to see it up close @ the upcoming NYIAS!

Let me rephrase it. Glad they made the upshift on the right side and downshift on the left side.

DBerg · 01-18-2010, 01:01 PM

I hate to be ignorant, but what does "LCI" stand for?

DCT has always been that way. it's autos that have +/- on both sides

WOW is that front ugly. The extra line in the rear bumper looks out of place too. The Elephant ear mirrors are a downgrade too. So much for getting a new car next year, gotta wait for the next body.

jlstyle · 01-18-2010, 01:17 PM

Thank god LCI doesn't look too good!
I would rather keep my pre lci.

I hate those new trend of putting eyelish on the headlights.

roho3323 · 01-18-2010, 01:28 PM

To all those that think the new front idea looks great...just look at the LCI M-Sport.

Basically NO CHANGE AT ALL.

If that new open air front with mustaches was a great idea, they would have incorporated that into the M-Sport....So BMW is basically saying that the M-Sport (the more athletic, aggressive, and premium priced performance model) should not be changed.

I think those of us with lip spoilers are very, very happy...no need to worry about upgrading or updating.

I believe this move is entirely to help identify people with the new F10 5-Series as this is basically the same look lower bumper. But to be fair, I like the new paddle shifters.

SantaPimp27 · 01-18-2010, 01:30 PM

i think the new lci looks good. especially in the video with the tint on it. it would be cool if bmw offered that as a factory option.

the silver slats on the front bumper are the only downside.

mtech is gonna look sick tho
