I don't like the new headlights. Another classic BMW detail lost. What's going on at BMW? New cars have no Hofmeister kink, no round headlights, FWD, etc. Everything that made car a BWM is absent.

If it turns out like these renders it doesn't look bad, but there's something less natural about the design compared to pre-LCI.

Interesting venting on the new grill. Looks pretty neat! I didn't realize the front grill had grown (surprise, surprise!) but overall I'm digging it.
Nice job OP for the rendering side by side for a direct comparison to pre LCI. |

They need to stop hiring VWAG designer rejects.

I'm glad I just bought the pre-LCI version. The distinctive and bold BMW details are blending into Japanese/Korean design mush.

There is literally no BMW without a Hofmeister kink right now. Round headlights are just a carryover from government regulated sealed beam headlights and BMW still carries over that design with a modern twist on their cars. Car design evolves and I think BMW has done a good job on that. Do you really want two perfectly round sealed beam headlights in your $100k late model car?

You know, the front end, I don't mind. The rear though, I still see updated Honda Civic taillights. Hard to get that out of my head.

Might have to see if the lci tails work on the pre-lci. They are starting to grow on me. Front not so much as I grew up during the e39 M5 era so angel eyes ftw.
