Life Cycle Impulse. Basically BMW bullsh*t for a mid term facelift. Michael Jackson had a few LCIs! :D
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

Here’s a weird observation - the A/C dials on mine have the “frosty” A/C symbol as below ... as opposed to the A/C written above ... never noticed that before :D

Interesting I wonder whether your car was a ‘grey import’?

On this E89 not a lot at all. Side indicators, LED DRL headlights and some insignificant tiny amount of piano black trim on the inside. This is one model where it really doesn't matter if you have a Lci model or not. Same goes for M sport or SE trim, on the E89 I don't think the M Sport adds that much. On the other hand the F20 1 series was seriously revised for the LCI model year.
