The E89 LCI only changed colours, trim on the dash and front lights and side repeaters..some packages were changed…no engines save brain damaged N20, , no suspension, no brake changes..no media changes, no wheel changes etc etc…
They've added another set of wheels should you wish.

What difference is there to the lights..? Looked the same to me... :?
headlights visually were almost identical...LCI had LED DRLs, pre LCI had halogen DRLs..
LCI 'HAVE' led DRLs .....and 'ARE' almost identical....hey haven't stopped making them yet..... :poke: :wink:

Thanks for that, wasn't aware of it.... understandably as they're modern fangled things.... :oops:

We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…

Right so to clarify, as far as I'm aware the LCI upgrade so far consists of:
Front bumper
front grills
Another wheel option
More paint options
Minor trim addition

No word on a manual so presumably N/A in the UK.

And because the new stuff is very minor hence no fanfare from BMW, which is understandable.

Have I missed anything...?

Yes - a delivery time of a couple of months which seems impossible as other cars have a year wait time
Current:
911-50 Black - unique spec
X5M - 575 hp of fun in a V8
Abarth 595 Comp.
Golf Clipper - collectors item
Z4 3.0si Black Sapphire
VW ID.3

Previous:
Z4M Silver Grey - non flimper spec (gone to Bing)
Z4 3.0 Toledo

Are you in the uk? I’ve put down a holding deposit but waiting on confirmation of build dates, they were suggesting March.

Yup, UK. Well, the system had a build date for a Z4 in November and my spec was applied to that, so we'll see.

the good news is can now buy the lci online on bmw.co.uk, the bad news is that the apr on a new car has gone up from 2.9 to 9.9 which makes the upgrade seem very expensive.
