The 7 years cycle for new car and LCI is too long nowadays They need to reduce that to maybe 3 years then 2 years LCI Compared to others, this car is showing its age :

LCI looks great and probably even better than the pre LCI!

Sad that BMW seems to be abandoning the halo headlights.

Looks MUCH better! Now if only they would address these spartan interiors for these flagship models... No way should they mimic a regular 5.

When has an M car delivered more than a smattering of detail upgrades vs its non-M counterpart though? Sport seats, meatier steering wheel, different gear selector, and some better materials. That's the formula, short of weight saving changes for CS models, which would be pointless on a luxury sedan.

Agreed, I'm not sure how I feel about those headlights yet, but they did a good job of making some subtle changes to the front bumper that seem more aggressive along with blending it in more with newer GXX cars so people don't thinking about waiting for the next gen as much.

Seeing this difference almost starts to make me see why they went with F90 for the M5 originally, that pre-LCI shot isn't too far off from an F80.

I like it a lot. Puts the original plan of holding out for a 19-20 MY deal on hold. Nice improvement with a "serious" looking. Always loved the M5 and all the facelifts. I hope BMW doesn't butcher this icon in years to come like they have w the 3/4 series

The new headlights and bumper looks more aggressive than pre LCI. And the grill flows better.

I thought there would have been a bigger difference. The style is conservative considering the other recent grill updates - thinking 7 series, X5, 4 series... but I guess this is just a lifecycle update.

Am I being stupid, but it doesn't look much different to me. Just the shape of the light bar.

I really like it, it's refreshing to see BMW updating one of their models without absolutely ruining it for once.

honestly everything about the 5 is "conservative"...i wish the M5 design (specifically the competition models) resembled a bit more sportiness like the F80 design. I would love to see a blend of F90 performance and F80 styling. Plust that new CS hood looks weird to me. The bump is too far forward IMO. Would buy an F80 if the interior wasn't so basic
