I still don't understand how they just put a stupid metallic piece where the side turn signal used to be- like with the 5 series. Is it that difficult to fill the fender hole?

Outside of that, looks great

You got that right.

Pathetic !

well now THIS looks amazing. night and day from the original. stunned. who would have thought bringing the light housings in to touch the grille would have made that much of a difference. very, very well done BMW.

bunker · 02-05-2014, 05:41 PM

hang on - any specs on the 35i yet? I don't see those listed...

Brenzo · 02-05-2014, 05:46 PM

Waiting for the Msport pics, should give a good idea of what the X4 Msport will look like.

Matski · 02-05-2014, 05:46 PM

So, I guess this brings it more inline with the X4 too?

And with the F15 X5. It now looks like a baby X5.

Again non led break light & rear turn signal? Can't get it...

Pentium · 02-05-2014, 06:10 PM

It's the first X3 I ever like...
Good job!

barcius13 · 02-05-2014, 06:13 PM

Blah

JasonX4MComp · 02-05-2014, 06:13 PM

This LCI looks fantastic! Love that it's finally going to have a diesel option

stefan · 02-05-2014, 06:15 PM

This vehicle is still small and sporty enough to justify a manual! It's not too late BMW!

Longbow64 · 02-05-2014, 06:22 PM

Waiting on the M Performance parts. Any idea what's coming out for the X3. I saw the X5 stuff, but haven't seen anything for the X3.

pepsih · 02-05-2014, 06:39 PM

Huge improvement over the pre lci

dmode · 02-05-2014, 06:46 PM

Does the 28i still need the Lighting package to get LED headlights ?

ae03440 · 02-05-2014, 06:58 PM

When will this refresh be available? Love it!

Don't you guys remember that ALL BMW's used to have the headlights mounted IN the grill? Also, the kidney's used to lean forward as opposed to back. BMW has just gone back to a modern interpretation of that design language.

I'm not suggesting that you have to like it, but I think that is the thought behind it.

Oh, and the X3 looks great, especially the interior!

I was wondering who posted those awesome pics and i look at the name. Great post Vic!

Those cars look freaking awesome.

ROM3 · 02-05-2014, 07:14 PM

Wow! The pre-LCI looks old already huh?!

Didnt even notice that! I will be offering led turn signals for that.

Remember punching holes to get side markers into your jdm goodness?
