Introducing the 2022 X3M / X4M LCI Facelift

iMi84 · 06-08-2021, 06:48 PM

I like the m view in the instrument cluster. Nice to have more details in the center and I wish my 2021 had that. Besides I'm neutral on most of the updates.

Everybody is doing it, even Porsche.

modthispny · 06-08-2021, 06:54 PM

love it, especially the x4m.

ultimately just comes down to how this will lease in so. cal when my m550i goes back in dec.

hdahman · 06-08-2021, 06:56 PM

The X4M rear is MUCH MUCH better than before . The wheels are awesome.

Agreed! I think the x4M is the winner here.

Neophyte · 06-08-2021, 07:03 PM

All these new BMWs are ugly and yet they sell like hot cakes.

I mostly care about the engine though which is why I'm waiting for the AWD M3.

Ftpohyeah · 06-08-2021, 07:09 PM

Yoooooo and people thought the g80 was bad lol. This is definitely different.

6speed_M2 · 06-08-2021, 07:25 PM

Major W although I wish they did something with the x4m rear lights

Maybe the software update will be available to current owners??

someone pointed out that the new grills looked like sunglasses. essentially it's just a smiley face in sunglasses

BMWsully · 06-08-2021, 07:31 PM

Am I the only one bothered by the interior? I like the new center console/stack but it looks silly when everything else is still the old design language

THEROK · 06-08-2021, 07:34 PM

Would never buy, yet I'm digging the x4m. Give me one in sparkling graphite on black wheels.

Nice lci

It's good to see smiling fronts

Especially when they fly by you hahaha

Bestle · 06-08-2021, 07:48 PM

Pistonheads are reporting the LCI X3MC pricing in the UK to be £85,100, that's a huge increase over the current £80,295. I'm guessing you will be forced to have some extra packages as standard?

eddesq · 06-08-2021, 07:51 PM

The torque boost, forged wheels, over the air software updates, and updated interior are certainly nice upgrades but I'm just not a fan of the new exterior, at all. I'm still perfectly content with my 2020 X3MC. To each his own.

Klazu · 06-08-2021, 07:51 PM

An improvement on the inside but a letdown on the outside. Considering that my next carbwill be MY2026, I won't spend too many tears on this LCI.

Unfortunately, I'm an impatient mofo and can't wait a year to get the same kind of discounts + allocations that are available for an X3M (I locked in May, now is a different story.

Waiting for my '21 to get built and will be happy taking delivery of it, but I love this new X3M.

Let's see how I am feeling in one year, maybe I switch then…

Definitely some salt in here but I am glad I picked up a 21, the 22 style is a hard pass. If I was in the market I wouldn't give this consideration. The styling seems to appeal to certain demographics, I happen to not fit in that box.

It sounds like the increased cost is in relation to all of the extras/improvements. It makes sense.

LOW4LYF · 06-08-2021, 08:19 PM

X3M in Brooklyn Gray should look good!

heavyD^2 · 06-08-2021, 08:20 PM

As always the LCI is an improvement in almost every way. I'm still happy with my 2020 and it will serve me well until I can get into an G80 LCI.

xmanpro · 06-08-2021, 08:24 PM

Solid updates by BMW. They know their market well. This is the future.
