LCI changes

50shadesofhockenheim · 01-13-2010, 10:34 PM

Other than the tail lights, what is changed in the 328i lci? engine change? I searched, but I can't find anything.

Time to put a flame suit on.

jaybird124 · 01-13-2010, 10:36 PM

Loud noises!

Ok. It's on. lol

Noc57 · 01-13-2010, 10:51 PM

Tailights, hood, front lights, mirrors......Think that's it. All cosmetic.

MSport is a must on LCI e90's.

Nr!qUe · 01-14-2010, 02:01 PM

The Front fenders are plastic, on Pre LCIs they're steel. Rear bumper has minor changes.

vented cupholder, glovebox flashlight, and hood insulation are gone. LCIs built from March 09+ are no longer prewired for alarm.

Cant think of anything else at the moment

YES! FTMFW!!

ss134 · 01-14-2010, 02:34 PM

Most important change apart from cosmetic is the new i drive - much much better than pre LCI, also the front and rear tracks have been extended.

E92-Lighting · 01-14-2010, 04:46 PM

Msport is a must option

Not quite. Minor suspension changes too, including wider track.

So the pre-LCI was better?

Do you care about a vented cupholder and a cheapo flashlight? Decide for yourself..

And if they took away hood insulation (which I have never heard before) they can keep it - maybe that's why my LCI sounds so much nicer than pre-LCI cars.

Its true, My sister has an 07 E90 and she has insulation under her hood.
And i was just thinking that second statement when i was on my way home when in another thread you mentioned that the LCIs engine sounds different than the Pre-LCI

Yes, My sister has metal fenders on her 07 and i have plastic ones. or plasticish, I just know that they arent metal. The E92s fenders are also nonMetal.

VTECaddict · 01-14-2010, 10:45 PM

Theyre the same part number

teamadobo · 01-14-2010, 11:16 PM

I thought the plastic fenders are only on the E92? E90 have metal fenders.

Mine is a 2010 LCI and it came with hood insulation. The wider track is noticeable.
