The kidneys outer surrounding seem to be a little bit too thick.

That lighted front grill is polarizing for sure

IMO thank goodness no split headlights. Why give up on something that has represented the brand nearly forever? Keep the halo non-split IMO.

The M sport will have lateral slats in the kidneys like the XM for those waiting to see it. Should look good!

[handsomdave]

the rear lights look awkwardly larger on the vehicle. slimmer would have made it sleek. front smile is similar to the new x3 as well, not a fan.

[BimmerXdrive]

Damn! goodbye agressive tail lights we get soccer mom ones now. Dissapointing but still greatful they didn’t botch it like new X7 front end.

There are so many ways they could have gone that would have improved on the pre-LCI for the LCI. It's not one of the worst, but I prefer the pre-LCI massively. Front is okay but seems vertically squished to the point it looks like a cross-over's front stuck on a full-size SUV. The concept of the rear lights is good but they are comically large and not proportionate to the rest of the rear.

I guess good job creating a design that will make it easier to sell a newer generation a few years down the line.

Agreed! Might look better in person though, let's see...

[novawolverine]

I think the front and rear updates are both improvements. The pre-LCI rear tailights look a bit dated to me. Looking forward to seeing the M-performance trim.

You are right. I was comparing the photos and it seems oddly correct (renders)

Another LCI that BMW managed not to fuck up.

Very unlikely that will be the case.

Time will tell. Some may have seen it already. 😉

Yes, we will see in a few weeks. It wouldn't make sense from product positioning point of view to do that. Maybe, and that is a big maybe, on the X5M but not on an MSport 40i or 45e.

I think the Halo sword on the X3’s look great! (My youngest son (13) and I play Halo together occasionally and that’s the first thing we both said when we saw the lights) 😆

They got lazy with the tial lights I feel.. Just reshaped the light elements and trim contrasts, no real difference in physical design.. I do like new front.. Cleaner, chiseled.. Less random alu look plastic. Cool wheels too.. Should feel and drive like a smaller, lighter X7 LCi (essentially what it is..)

I honestly wish it had something similar but softer.. Or something along the lines of the XM

Found this on Insta

I agree. Maybe it's the photo, but the lower area of the front seems to protrude forward in ugly way, especially below the headlight. Big box.

That’s a strong endorsement- not sure I can give my 19 up yet…

I bet though there won’t be parts shortages on this LCI of new options pop up. I’m hopeful; but it’s still dicey times.

I saw a few different cars in person at a dealership with the curved screen. The 3 series had it mounted the worse, with a random stick.


The iX was a bit better, with a nicer looking triangular mount.


The i7 did it the best, much closer to the dash, with a leather piece above it.


The X5/X6 is probably going to have the big solid triangle like the X7... not as bad as the 3 series, at least.

That’s acceptable

[Tallest]

After E70, the X5s all look kinda buss-ish and not that interesting. Its hard to understand what they can really do with the platform in terms of looks, it is all too much sheetmetal, and tiny eyes and big grilles and big tail lights... And any dynamic look to it is long gone, it is just a people carrier with a big badge. So discussing how this car looks is interesting but we all know that it isnt that important anymore in line of what BMW produces.

Makes the XM interesting, I got to say and I cant stand that thing with its tacky gold trim...
