Welp I have my 2020 X3MC and will hold onto it if the LCI looks ridiculous.

JustChris · 09-30-2020, 01:33 PM

Is this very early for an LCI? I'm hoping more for a suspension revision.

Drew10 · 09-30-2020, 02:08 PM

I spy the notorious MBG (///M Big Grill).

J-RO · 09-30-2020, 02:19 PM

Maybe its me but these type of pictures tell me very little.

You bought a bmw suv, the fastest depreciating (non exotic) vehicle brand on the market. Your parts bin special suv will never hold or increase value.. sorry.

In real life, going out of your way to say things that might make other people feel depressed is detrimental to career advancement and developing friendships. Not to mention you missed his point.

If it's you, then it's me too. When I see pics like this and here folks draw conclusions, I feel like I'm listening to a wine review: "hints of oak, traces of cherry and a slight waft of ginger speak volumes for this vintage..."

Well, the photos show that BMW messes with the kidney design and this may have following consequences:

1) The kidneys may become smaller (extremely unlikely)
2) The kidneys may retain the current size and just get a reshape (rather unlikely)
3) The kidneys may grow (very likely)

This may be the very first attractive X4!

That's good. X4 has worst looking kidneys in BMW history. Rear end is also catastrophic

Agree, sadly. I've grown to accept the X5 and X7 connected grilles, but I still strongly dislike the X3/X4 grilles. Neither have attractive tail lights either, for that matter. X4's are way too thin and boring (G20/G80 have same problem, IMO), and I don't know what to make of the X3's random tail light design. Then again, every generation of X3 has had tail lights that are ugly and weird looking, so I guess they've been fairly consistent with that.

This X4 LCI is looking good. If they totally revise the kidneys and tail lights and also spruce up the interior space a bit, they should actually be able to sell these things!
