The lci car that you're looking at is an M sport car which have always had more complex bumpers, especially in the back. The regular model will probably have a more clean and simplistic design in the back.

The infotainment is definitely a big letdown. Slapping a wide iPad on the dash and omitting physical buttons is really aesthetically and functionally miles worse than the best UI they have created with the previous series.

The front looks more like the 5 series now which is awesome itself

You really need to take a look at the non-M sport facelift version, it looks soo good imo!!! Id even say it looks better than the m version and in general this has never been the case for me so far. So my ranking would be:
1. M-Sport Pre-Facelift
2. Normal Facelift
3. M-Sport Facelift
4. Normal Pre-Facelift

It's weird times we live in when Kias and Hyundais and Genesis have less controversial designs than BMW's and Mercs. Thanks for the insight!!! Great content as usual!!!

In my opinion, pre-facelifted version looks better with M-Sport package with typical M smile in the front and less aggressive diffuser in the rear, while facelifted version with regular trim looks way better than the older one.

I completely agree with your comments about the interior. The preLCI shows more care in designing a housing for the IC and integrating the screens into the dash design.

[dylanw]

I’ll reserve judgement til I see it in person because I like the old one better and I think the pictures make it look odd.

The 3 series was the best looking car in the line up. They had to do something very wrong to ruin it. They tried pretty hard to with the rear.

IMO black is the best colour for both the original and LCI G20/21 - it's the colour that hides all these weird angles and flourishes. Great review, cheers

I’ve always loved BMW cockpits and dashboards. I love the new tech an incredibly HD Touchscreen 🖥, but it looks odd how it protrudes rectangularly and I wish it was more seamlessly integrated into the dashboard.

The problem with this video is that you are comparing the bmw sport line to the m package on the face lift. You can not do that. The sport line only comes with chrome trim. But with the m package it comes with a shadow line trim if you select it. There are many differences too with the sport line and the m package, not just the trim. I think your comparison is very unfair since you are comparing apples to oranges. You should have selected the previous model with the m package so that you have a better comparison.

Thank GOD the grille isn’t ruined. And the side view still keeps its beautiful surfacing. But all the other details like the lower intakes and especially the terrible rear end almost invalidate the praise i just gave it

[utkuumitli]

u shouldve compared the m sport version of the pre facelifted version imo. the outside differs very much between them

[creeper]

The new interior looks way better. As a mercedes fan i think its super clean and feels more clean. They surely finessed the small details on the new interior.

[aoncars]

The E92 was such a good looking car. None of the newer 3 look as good as Mercedes

[radudeATL]

Ugh. It might be an improvement, but I don’t end up liking either of them. 1 step forward with the simplified grille and headlights, 2 steps backward with the bumper treatment.

[TottiSchlecker]

Compared to the previous sporty Version I think it's a brillant facelift evolution. Let's hope the facelift of the regular Version is as good as this. This is a win for me.

[mr_sparkly_face]

I don’t think the front end comparison is fair as the LCI is for the M340i and the car you showed us the Sport design, not the comparable Pre-LCI M340i. I prefer the Pre-LCI M340i because of the homage to the E46 as you mentioned, but the new one doesn’t look bad by any means. It actually fits the other M/M Sport models a lot better through the lineup

[machomb]

Looks like the 5 series now, which I like.
