Overall a pretty solid LCI update and in line with what most reasonable expectations would've been.

We've already gotten used to the grilles meeting in the middle from previous updates on the F87 and G20/F90 and the X3/X3M LCI taillights bring it more in line with current design language while still keeping a unique design to the X3 chassis. They (the lighting pattern specifically) do stand out quite a bit but sort of remind me of a more aggressive/angry F15 X5 taillight.

Although there was nothing wrong with the pre-LCI bumper design, the LCI ones clean up nicely. No win or lose there with the front bumper, but as a whole overall this LCI will age quite nicely as most BMW facelifts do.
