The roof can be programmed to move at that speed on any E89..
The jury is out on the concept of roof strengthening..there is no documentation to suggest there was any change.
A 4th hydraulic valve was fitted pre LCI to ensure that one certain state of indeterminate roof closure / opening was covered..
Not sure that some shiny plastic around the interior air vents and minor changes to the headlights and taillights would sway me as much as goodies/condition/price/mileage?
Higher quality cabin switches as well, evidently it seems pre lci cars could suffer from idents being worn off from use :?
Not forgetting the move to an electronically actuated waste gate

Have you compared the switches?
Did the earth move with the Audi-eque experience?
I’ve not tried them (the new ones) but I have to say of the many things that are less than perfect on these cars not once ever did I ever go..‘ that’s really annoying that switch”
The electronic waste gate wasn’t tied to the LCI..confusion occurs due to the 18i which DID co-incide with LCI being only fitted with the EWG..
There was a 3 month ish overlap on the 20i and 28i models AFAIK...
The ONE thing I really did like was the LCI side repeaters..of course you can retrofit them for 85 euros..
So I would maintain that I’d buy the car on features/condition/price/mileage first then choose LCI as the final parameter..
Of course new cars will be LCI but then again they will be more expensive..
Burble mode off..
