Marcus we are all entitled to express an opinion here. Whatever the point that you are attempting to make, it is not very convincing when you attack the character of the poster.

lets wait and see what the LCI M-sport would look like.
to me, the most important LCI update would be the N63Tu engine and LED headlights. the N63 is a great engine but it can be problematic for some owners.... just speaking from experience

Where are those whiskers going on the lower grill?
I like the old one better...lets see If the new LEDS are brighter. The xenons on bmws are disappointing versus Acuras...

I like the smaller kidney grills. Does anyone know if BMW might offer some kind of ecu tuning to match the new 2013 550i output? If I didn't lease I'd have serious buyer's remorse right now.

The kidney grills arent smaller. Its because the picture of the LCI is smaller next to the pre LCI one.

The LCI fixes what I originally found the front end of current F10 is too bulky.

I've actually just canceled my order and I'm going to wait until the MY14 goes on-sale. I like the cosmetic changes on the LCI and I'm hoping for maybe a small bump in HP. I have no seen an actual legitimate concensus as to if the 535 will see a slight bump like the 550. Here's to maybe!!

Not too keen on the changes, I never liked the non-sport version, with the changes it is now closer to a 3 series look, I think this does not suit a car of it size, I rather like the existing version, but I guess like all BMW need to see the car in flesh before any judgments

I think its going to look alot better than the pictures show. They are out of perspective I reckon, even the stance looks wrong. Will be interesting to see what line changes along the side there are.

Yuck. I dislike the LCI design. (And also dislike the 4 Coupe design, although I dislike this more)
Why does it look like an AUDI? Yes the headlights look like they shrunk. And the lines leading out of the headlights really make the front too complicated. There's already the two lines on top of the bonnet that I think could have done without. Sorry, but I really am not digging this. F30 was OK. F20 was yucks. This... too |

I'm pretty indifferent to the change. I think it looks good and the changes are very subtle. I wouldn't choose one over the other based on looks, but rather on the improved performance of the '14

I don't even know what 'substandial' means. Anyway, I purchased my F10 528i in 2011 for around usd130k and I still think the front end is bulky until the LCI. |

Haven't read through this all yet, but I think the reports that the "headlight shape" have changed are untrue. It seems as if the *shape* of the headlights are exactly the same? The grille looks smaller as one "report" mentioned, but I think it's the same size, just the less slats look makes it appear smaller.

Oh man, I hope that is not where they're going! I let M-B go since they've become a design team who seem like they party too hard then go straight to work to design their upcoming cars. I just really wrapped myself around BMW as I love that they're seeming to design elegant classics in comparison. However, I do not like the overly fussy front of the F30 (otherwise love the design), and of course think the 5 GT, F20, and X6 are amongst the ugliest cars.... ever. |
