BMW do not extensive re-profile M cars in the LCi phase because it adds time and more money. The functional aerodynamics are extensively developed and to re-profile them to accomodate extensive changes would mean starting from scratch.

The M5 LCi will feature the cosmetic aspects such as LED lights etc but the car is virtually unchanged. Previous M car facelifts such as the E46 M3 and
E92 M3 were left untouched because of the work taken to reprofile the front ends of the car would mean changing the aerodynamics to suit the more upright facia.
