Yeah the front grills are amazing looking … if you’re blind 😬🤮 a shocking mess of a design with very fussy body lines . Easily one of the worst designs bmw has made in recent times . Total GOPPING is the best description of the g8x
Only in black. When you see them on any other colour they look so out of place. Don’t match the lines of the car at all. The G20 grills should have been added to the M3 in my opinion.
@@Monztxr naw, they look good in that lime green, that light blue, silver as well but i also like dark colored cars so I would have mine in that dark grey or something similar. They look good man
I prefer the 2020-2022 models, the old headlights looked a lot better and I never was a fan of slapping a big tablet where the instruments cluster should be. I do love the brown leather interior.
The new lights look epic, I have the current generation and from the beginning i thought that the new headlights looked worse then the current "angel eyes" but now when i see them they look supersharp and very angry.
Matt. For me, simply put ICONIC! Without doubt one of the best cars ever designed and built. Again, as you say ..one word, INCREDIBLE! And yes I agree with you, the specification of this one is perfect!. Colour, interior etc. Amazing machine. Nothing comes close. Other than the M cars from BMW.
Sir I must tell you this , you're a GOOD car journalist you only speak positive things I'd like to see more of your reviews on cars. You rock sir.👊👊👊👊👊
This is actually a very soothing and well deserved review for this beautiful car, the mild facelift has its special effect that just hits different. This was an amazing review ❤
Maybe cus those lights are meant for the M4. Cus they were first introduced for the M4 CSL, and because the m3 and m4 is so similar, this is also a good way to make them a lil different, with that spec just for the m4.
For me this grill business was the latest BMW range and still is apart from the M3 and M4 which is the attractive one and is stunning but the standard range is more questionable , great cars though 👍
Really really dig the new M3. I wish they made that huge tablet more intergrated with the dashboard. As it stands now, it looks like they slapped a tablet on it interior and called it a day. It looks bad especially from the passenger side.
My dude, I completely get what you mean with regards to the M4 with these updated headlights. Saw one recently, believe it was in Skyscraper grey, but it looks much more bulky now. Did they modify the car or the side profile of the lci m3/m4 by any chance?
The old DRL's are better when you look at them in isolation but the new ones add to the overall agressive look of the front. I also think these will stop the yellow DRL trend, don't think they'd look good in yellow.
I love these cars but don't understand where they fit in normal life in the UK. We are harassed by speed cameras on our motorways and A and B roads plus pop up speed vans . I had a high performance BMW that I loved, but amassed 9 points in 6 months. I had to get rid of it or lose my licence.
Honestly, the sapphire black metallic colour is a beautiful colour for the BMW, however, I personally don't think it works well with black wheels. You can have gun metal or even silver coloured wheels would look better.
Look at the price increase and then choose if it’s worth it. They removed the laser lights which were a massive plus. Slight increase in BHP which isn’t going to be noticeable. Steering wheel is nice but obtainable, easily and cheaply. Now go to the configuration and add the ultimate pack. Notice the carbon bucket seats aren’t included. They’ve made the ultimate pack not so ultimate. This means that the carbon bucket seats have to be purchased on top of the ultimate pack, separately. If it were me I’d be going with a brand new pre LCI.
I completely disagree with you, this car looks absolutely amazing. The kidney grills make this car look menacing and very aggressive, I would've been disappointed if they changed that.
nobody likes the LCI lights yet. Maybe that will change...I just wish i could change the DRL color to Yellow but BMW made that much more difficult on the LCI model..stupid
Internal carbon trim now £1800 option.. leather seats.. option.. Basic metallic paint now an option… BMW are taking the pee. Separately, great video, informative, well presented 👍
My only two things is I wish they made the screen more integrated with the dashboard and have the previous laser lights they do not look outdated yet
These grills on these m3’s look AMAZING I literally do not care what anyone says. It looks soo much more aggressive.
Totally agree!

Only because the car is black the grills are so bad they should only sell it in black.

Thats what you say now
I said the same thing until I got my 2023. Now I can’t not have that screen
Agreed on the headlights. They look "without identity".
@hevalkan6645 exactly people get so attached to things even if they weren't as good as what we have now. They're delusional
All new ai cameras going up in uk and they start putting massive tablets on dash

Facts
With this model being the LCI, what is the expected life span of this model?
dont mention the price..... please

Thank you so much!
fantastic video, great overview
Thank you!
Can anyone riddle me why BMW got rid of the HALO LIGHTS it was a BMW stamp
So true
What ever happened to the laser lights ?
good looking motor
It is!
Tired of all the cars having the same design head display 🙄 are they all working together
im disappointed with the back wished they added the new taillights
You can get the new taillights as an option, at least here in Europe.
@@leandrodomingues50for an m3? what do they look like?
@@milos-vv3gjnope, not for M3.
@@deniznarli2535 yeah I was thinking the same thing
M3s best look is just getting clear tails or maybe gts
How come the M3 don’t get the laser rear lights as on M4?
Maybe cus those lights are meant for the M4. Cus they were first introduced for the M4 CSL, and because the m3 and m4 is so similar, this is also a good way to make them a lil different, with that spec just for the m4.
I have them on my 2025 m440i
black over tartufo wow great underrated spec
does it still have rear climate control unit?
Yes. I’m waiting for mine 😊
For me this grill business was the latest BMW range and still is apart from the M3 and M4 which is the attractive one and is stunning but the standard range is more questionable , great cars though 👍
I need to follow you, you are actually very good on details on your videos
Thank you.
Should have had the laser rears. Not digging the new front daytime lights
Can u get a panroof on these ? M3 or m4?
You can but then no carbon fiber roof
@@SirSchmittyX not sure there's that option on the UK configuration
Moonroof is usless when you have carbon roof
Really really dig the new M3. I wish they made that huge tablet more intergrated with the dashboard. As it stands now, it looks like they slapped a tablet on it interior and called it a day.
It looks bad especially from the passenger side.
Now this is it😩😩😩

Love to see and hear on the road
My dude, I completely get what you mean with regards to the M4 with these updated headlights. Saw one recently, believe it was in Skyscraper grey, but it looks much more bulky now.
Did they modify the car or the side profile of the lci m3/m4 by any chance?
No.
I prefer the old lights😂
You know what car looks way way better and preforms better beside the F8X, the M340iv looks so much better
I thought M3 could have the new laser taillights.
Unfortunately not.
I still say that front grill needs go in the BIN 🗑️ it will never look good people have go as far as changing front grill and bumper
Did you notice how OP didn’t reply to you? Because he’s not allowed to talk about the grille. This is nearly certainly a paid BMW advertisement
I changed the grill on mine straight away. I went with the Vorsteiner carbon.
The old headlights for sure!
Seat color 😊
Spot on isn’t it 👌🏼
New❤
Wow looks great
It does!
I like the New R Rings 😊
Lets go bimmer!!!
Prefer hvac manual buttons and older laser lights
You can still option a RWD comp.
Not in the UK.
The old DRL's are better when you look at them in isolation but the new ones add to the overall agressive look of the front. I also think these will stop the yellow DRL trend, don't think they'd look good in yellow.
Agreed.
Does it have cup holders in the rear seats?
Yes.
Was wondering what LCI meant before i saw it was Life Cycle Impulse, or BMW speel for mid life facelift in other terms.
Exactly that.
I prefer the older ones more since day one. Lci models looks dull on every beemer
The rear lights are also different actually
This new m3 competition or 2019 m5 competition ? And why ?
I don't like the dashboard, personally that big TV to me it kills big part of BMW spirit. But the rest looks amazing
I’ll meet all your white bmw at the Irish pub in Boston usa 😂 merry Christmas

M3 should never be over £100k
Wish it came with a Sunroof 😢
You can option for it, but you lose the carbon fiber why the hell would you do that? Also sunroof sucks. I never use mine.
They should make the front more longer like extended wheelbase
I love these cars but don't understand where they fit in normal life in the UK. We are harassed by speed cameras on our motorways and A and B roads plus pop up speed vans . I had a high performance BMW that I loved, but amassed 9 points in 6 months. I had to get rid of it or lose my licence.

Youre cray cray

Who the hell thinks that much wheel gap in the front is acceptable
yeah, still needs the ADRO aftermarket front bumper desperately. awesome car otherwise.

another dream car for sure.

I want these cool-looking headlights on my G20 LCI. Is it possible?
no m3 and normal 3 series headlight shape is different

That looks like a 320d sport when it’s in black colour
