Introducing the 2024 BMW X5 and X6 LCI Facelift!

kalpak2015 · 02-07-2023, 06:16 PM

Careful LCI redesign, glad they didnt butcher these SUVs.

I see BMW was inspired by Mercedes, X5 design cues resemble GLE, anyone has the same impression?

The illuminated kidney grill will be an option.

Maybe the tech bros who haven't been laid off can afford it.

Sad times we live in.

We will know once that guidance has been released and the list, expected to be a short one, of qualifying vehicles released. The guidance is expected to be released at the end of March so we should know the qualifying vehicles in April sometime. According to the IRS white paper it seems like they are trying to be very liberal with their interpretation of the requirements so some vehicles may qualify that earlier it was thought they would not.

The stupid gear selector has made its way into the X5 and X6 now. They should at least give the M60s a traditional selector.

gray_speedster · 02-07-2023, 06:23 PM

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but the base X5 front end looks better than the M Sport. That black trim piece between the grille and lower intakes is…different.

Vmaxx · 02-07-2023, 06:23 PM

I really wish BMW would have AT LEAST left us with the quick access preset buttons in the ID8 setups but they couldn’t even give us that. We live in a world where companies give you less and charge you much more!

wanderlustX5 · 02-07-2023, 06:23 PM

Agree. I don’t like this new gear selector. Bmw doesn’t have become like Mercedes

Agree with you. I was really looking to jump into an X7 but now might consider the X6 LCI. I really like what BMW did with the update.

X6 and X7 are very different… I don’t think people usually cross shop those two.

Tired of the blurring of full M cars and mini M's.

Mirror caps... grill emblem... colors....

Visual differences getting eroded every single model change.

Agree. I have X5 40i currently and I want to try something different and was 99% sure the X7 was the thing I’d try. 😂😂. Now this makes me want to try the X6 instead.

same! Really the only thing I'm not thrilled about on the X5 LCI.

Keithwand · 02-07-2023, 06:34 PM

Had my 2016 for 6 years.
I’m good to keep my 2022M sport even longer.
Actually miss the 2016.

Based on these pics I still prefer the x-line. The x-line looks really good in my opinion.

Can’t wait for the configurator to be up and running.

Can anyone comment on this part:

Driving Assistant Professional Package now offers Highway Assistant.

What is the current 2019-23 model DAP capable of? Any major upgrades? Thanks,

BimmerXdrive · 02-07-2023, 06:40 PM

Rear has lost the agressive look unfortunately. A “suv” without a shift lever is dissapointing aswell.

B///MWGuy · 02-07-2023, 06:40 PM

Seems like their PR team don't like the look of the new M Sport model..

Why would they include such a dark, hard to see photo in a PR material??

Kinda funny actually..

White340 · 02-07-2023, 06:43 PM

Buy the 45e while you still can. You won’t notice the extra power unless you drive like an asshole all the time. As it is I try to maximize electric mileage which means I hardly drive it in sport. I have my m3 for that kind of fun.

PandaSPUR · 02-07-2023, 06:46 PM

Isle of Man Green for the X6

I was considering Urban Green on a X6M but this will be interesting.. I hope they release some pictures of the X6 in that color (and not just renders).

Also, I'm new to BMW and how they do things. Anyone have an idea of when the M models will be announced?

EDIT: With some light googling, seems like the 5-series LCI was 5/26/2020 and M5 was just a few weeks later on 6/16/2020. So I'm guessing a similar wait here.
