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.

Does that mean the M5 will NOT get the "new re-profiled front end incorporating the latest kidney grille with that forward looking stance and thicker chrome outline brings prominence to the front of the car"?
Ditto for the new character line appearing between the upper part of the kidney grilles and the area right above the headlights, which should give the headlight/grille area a more aggressive look?
