There are some questionable aesthetics on the LCIs, but that's personal preference. However, there are several very surprising historical aspects of these LCIs ...
The M double-slatted grille, M grille badge and M mirrors have made their way down to non-M vehicles for the first time. BMW's pretty consistent with these things, so I presume it's a sign of things to come. The M guys will not be happy.
This is probably the most extensive LCI interior update ever. The E60 LCI interior was a significant (and needed) upgrade. This change is much more significant and less needed imo.
I'm surprised that the 12.5" central display has made its way down to the X3/4. The 3/4 LCI will surely include the larger screen now or maybe they'll go full iD8 for that upgrade since LCI interior's are much more significant now.
The X4's taillights were not updated. I don't recall any BMW LCI that has not had at least some minor change to the taillights. Fwiw, I happen to love the old X4's taillights, so I'm not upset.
No silver exterior paint. Is there another car in BMW's lineup that doesn't include the German national racing color?
Has cerium been euthanized? That would be welcome retreat for many of us, I'm sure.
