Life Cycle Impulse. Basically BMW bullsh*t for a mid term facelift. Michael Jackson had a few LCIs! :D

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.
