F90 M5 LCI vs Pre-LCI Comparison Video + M Performance Parts First Look

F87EVO · 06-16-2020, 11:41 PM

Very nice upgrades , love it , still feeling the headlights could be more iconic BMW.. but i would have it as it is !

Greer · 06-17-2020, 12:05 AM

I just love it! My 2019 M5 may be traded in for this new model.

RyanBMW · 06-17-2020, 12:10 AM

Is it me or the pre-LCI looks a lot better, I like the curves better and that Blue is stunning, not sure about that Red on the M5, even though it's an Imola.

Imola works so much better with silver wheels and a tan interior. Bizarre choice for a launch car given as far as we know imola is still individual only for this car.

Thats Motegi Red, not Imola. Motegi is a standard choice on the UK configurator

Can't get over those headlight. BMW had such cool ledbars to make up the 4 'eyes'. This looks like a VW Arteon and that's not a compliment.

Ok. Then can you tell me, why the M chief in this video says ten times this color is Imola Red?

He says Imola and the descriptions says Imola... He also mention it's BMW individual color.

churchillps · 06-17-2020, 09:56 AM

Not a lot to like, at all, but the tail lights are especially hideous.

somer · 06-17-2020, 10:33 AM

Nice little carbon front lip there on the m performance car, wonder if that will be available or if they're going to use that for the M5cs

Same here bud! Cheers to us! 👌😁

I see that the front decal now has the "competition" word on it too.

Ok I'll admit that I skipped the first 30 seconds of the video where he said it haha. But Motegi race is nice too, and like to be a no cost option

THOR48 · 06-17-2020, 11:40 AM

Beautiful automobile!!!! Bravo BMW !!!!

That's exactly how I feel. The new M5 lights looks like a Jaguar. 👎🏻

If metallic orange and metallic red had babies their two offspring would be Sakhir and Motegi.

Sakhir got a bit more of daddy Orange's looks
Motegi gets a bit more of mommy Red's looks

Greer · 06-17-2020, 04:05 PM

How could they add these red exteriors and remove the caramel interior?

2SwiFt29 · 06-17-2020, 05:59 PM

Also similar to the Avalon.

zamboni · 06-17-2020, 08:24 PM

I still prefer the analog gauges over the LCI design don't mind other upgrade on center dash and shifter. Wonder how much BMW would charges for the individual color on the LCI M5.

MikeStammer · 06-17-2020, 10:12 PM

$5k. i asked for YMB, denied.

AD18 · 06-18-2020, 07:09 AM

Being a CEO he doesn't sound very enthusiastic about his car...

Jocko78 · 06-18-2020, 09:20 AM

Hmmmm...

1. Not a big fan of the headlights, the prev ones at least gave a nod to the old school Halos. These don't distinguish BMW from others. Audi remains the king of light IMHO.
2. Not a huge fan of the grill, wonder how the angles slats impact airflow?
3. Like the black around the taillights, was thinking of tinting the outer edge of mine and may just replace them if a retrofit is possible.
4. Bumper looks less aggressive to me.
5. I actually like all the settings having buttons.
6. A bigger screen probably blocks more of the road. If I want a big screen, I would buy an obnoxious Tesla.

Whatever, first time in a long time I haven't had a desire to upgrade, 2020 is fine with me.
