Similar tail light design language to the upcoming 2 series. Unsure how I feel about this car overall

M2COMP · 05-13-2021, 05:03 PM

Looks like F87 from front and G87 from back..

Mako · 05-13-2021, 05:04 PM

Nice sunglasses

fanofbmwe46 · 05-13-2021, 05:05 PM

So bad

spool twice · 05-13-2021, 05:09 PM

subtle changes, the way BMW LCI's have been. Looks good to me, those taillights look great!

M40i4me · 05-13-2021, 05:09 PM

Meh, glad I didn’t wait.

MrPorter · 05-13-2021, 05:10 PM

Looks fine but it makes buying out my '19 lease a much easier proposition

alex2364 · 05-13-2021, 05:11 PM

They made it uglier.

buckybadger · 05-13-2021, 05:11 PM

Nice new moustache' on the front bumper!

fndrplayer13 · 05-13-2021, 05:12 PM

I like it, but I slightly prefer the old design to be honest. I dont love the "squinty" headlights and smoked rear lights.

rob175 · 05-13-2021, 05:13 PM

Never a fan of the "blacked out" look.....I'm a "chrome lover".....glad I own a 2020!

fndrplayer13 · 05-13-2021, 05:14 PM

Hard to say for sure from the pics, but it looks like it didnt get the new idrive 8 thats in the ix and i4

stein_325i · 05-13-2021, 05:15 PM

Not bad, although not a fan of the taillights or lower front bumper, looks less cohesive than before. What I really want to see is if they improved the interior.

to_riffic · 05-13-2021, 05:16 PM

A lot of shapes going on with the front. I guess it's all right..

satz · 05-13-2021, 05:17 PM

The rear side 'vents' are interesting (prob fake) but reduce the softness of the original design.

Still looks tall and narrow from the back

advantage20 · 05-13-2021, 05:20 PM

FredBa · 05-13-2021, 05:21 PM

The design looks good but some parts of the front bumper look a bit plasticky

Unfortunately the same espresso induced taillight designer is designing the new 2er taillights as well

One of the few LCIs where the original looks better.

z335is · 05-13-2021, 05:32 PM

Interior also looks identical to pre-LCI judging from one of the other leaks. So much for the "radical redesign is coming" contingent, lmao.
