Pre=LCI to LCI

Ryno 27 · 08-09-2020, 08:42 AM

Anyone turning in their car early for the new LCI version? I have a MY2020, and am curious to see how bad a hit I’d have to absorb to make the switch.

Why make the switch?

josec70 · 08-09-2020, 03:16 PM

Nah, really nothing so drastically different that I would exit my lease early.

I have a about a year left on my current 19' M5C and will spec an LCI 4-5 months before lease expires.

euro* · 08-09-2020, 03:24 PM

LCI just seems like a cute lipstick, nothing drastic, not worth it for me to run and switch my '19 M5 for the LCI and loose money on my current M5... plus I still prefer the '19 cluster

stein_325i · 08-09-2020, 07:56 PM

What is so worth it on the LCI to make the switch? I wouldn't take any hit on a car just to get some different headlights and taillights (both of which are arguably worse in comparison).

supershaft · 08-09-2020, 10:25 PM

if the LCI wasn't a disaster I'd switch in a heartbeat.

Some relative to FOMO i am guessing

For a variety of reasons I'm appreciating my 2020 M5C purchase this March more and more after the release of the LCI. Would I update the taillights if its plug and play, maybe. But given the direction of recent BMW designs, having a single owner, low mileage, pre facelift F90 will be the move in a few years.

Oh cmon. Not worth it. It barely adds more features. And half you can simply code.

Don't! The LCI has some visual tweaks. Who cares actually?

@OP: What does Pro offer? I'm not criticizing or judging, just asking out of curiosity.

Self-driving. We have it on our X5 and it works great. Especially handy in bumper to bumper traffic.

Pro cannot be coded, as a sensor that monitors your eyes is needed. It’s located in the upper center of the instrument cluster, above the M5 graphic

Don't you have it on your M8 limey?

JOHNBMWM5 · 08-11-2020, 06:18 AM

I would like to change, BUT what sort of "HIT" will it cost me?, mine has 9K miles in 16 months, what with Covid 19 and a Hip replacement it's been unused for 6 months or more over the 16 months.
I usually change every year but mine looks new and I just don't want to get arse raped on PX.

And I didn't say "Pro can be coded" I said most the additional features can. Only major difference is the car will TJA up to a higher speed and will change lanes for you if you use your turn signal etc. the M5 still will steer for you, come to a complete stop, and start up again in stop and go traffic.

I get there is a difference but when I test drove the M8 it didn't seem all that different from my M5. To each there own but to me not worth taking a several thousand $$$ hit for. Plus I didn't buy an M to let it drive for me! Haha

Greer · 08-11-2020, 10:43 AM

I would not do it. I have a 2019 M5 that has been 100% reliable. For me to change up to the LCI means the risk of turning in a great car for maybe a lemon, who knows.

Yup. I thought the OP was implying there's something different about it in the LCI but I haven't found anything.

I don't think my M8 will change lanes if I signal... not sure I've tried. I will later.

IJS - Why buy and M5 to let it drive itself? I want all the nanny features off!! And if you have to engage the road with your eyes for it to work then what's the real purpose? Not being a jerk...
