So I guess that video confirms that the show car here is Imola (is that individual only now?)

Also what color is the pre-LCI in that instagram video... looks awesome.

DS_BMW · 06-16-2020, 06:12 PM

First LCI where it looks better before the refresh to me.

stefan · 06-16-2020, 06:24 PM

Why do the front bumpers all turn up like that? It looks ridiculous and cheap. The previous bumper has a much more aggressive chin line.

spuntyb · 06-16-2020, 06:29 PM

Those VAG headlights can go straight to hell. The rest is meh. It looked fine before, looks fine now

psuibmw · 06-16-2020, 06:33 PM

You can see he is not fully convinced

Assuming it has to be a safety regulation decision. See a lot of performance cars with that these days. I dislike it too

R N M · 06-16-2020, 06:58 PM

What a lovely Jag from 5years ago.
BMW designers really need some new ideas...

VCP · 06-16-2020, 07:08 PM

You are welcome Markus

phoenixbmwlife · 06-16-2020, 07:55 PM

The M performance version looks amazing! Still not liking the headlights though. What you guys think of the new front bumper design?

swanson · 06-16-2020, 08:16 PM

Pre-refresh looks so much better. Not a fan at all of the new refresh.

AUSf22 · 06-16-2020, 08:19 PM

The only decent recent release from BMW! glad this one doesn't look like a monstrosity like the new 4 and 2 series.

ResidualJinx · 06-16-2020, 08:54 PM

Did they just put spinner center caps on those wheels... and why do I want them so much???

Oh he is, that's what an excited German sounds like.

I will not rush to the dealership to exchange my M5 Comp over this new LCI version...

dreventador · 06-16-2020, 09:51 PM

Why does it look like a Volkswagen

Ck00 · 06-16-2020, 09:53 PM

What color is the pre lci m5? Looks amazing in that blue.

I don’t questionsthis man’s qualifications but I preferred the previous head of M. He was a better spokesman.

F85MTuNED · 06-16-2020, 10:07 PM

If I go F90 I'm just going to grab a Pre LCI and purchase the M performance wheels...Done and Done! 😎

They have been out as an accessory for a while.

MBBM5 · 06-16-2020, 10:12 PM

I'm pretty sure the model they showed was a competition - maybe because there are approximately 75 competition badges on it...

I'm curious to see this in person. The taillights seem worse to me than the headlights. By adding all the black trim I feel like they stand out more when I would prefer them not to be a focal point. Also want to see how much bigger the screen is when you sit in the car. It looks gigantic in that video.

bMm5w · 06-16-2020, 10:29 PM

I'm actually really content now with my 2019. For the first time I don't have a need to upgrade to anything.
