2015 LCI

New pictures with the 2015 LCI M135i:

http://www.worldcarfans.com/11406277...s/highphotos#0

This particular M135i has foglights, but the bumper seem to be taken from an estoril blue under the camouflage (right downside corner) and the parking sensors, so I don't know if the final M135i LCI version will have them or it's still only for the M sport versions. The bumper nevertheless it's modified, I kinda like the larger side vents, it gives a more agressive look and seems more into the theme then the old shape. I'm not sure about the head lamps, to me they seem very similar/ the same? Can't say anything for the back other then the stoplights are the same...

Looking forward for other, more pertinent opinions...

The headlights remain the same but there is added detail at the front including a wider kidney grille and "arms" that imprint in the nose to connect the outline at the top edge of the headlights to the kidney grille.

1er customers love the looks of the car and did not want extensive changes to the fascia.

Thanks for the specifications,
Indeed, it does seem to have 9 longitudinal struts in each of the kidney grille, as opposed to 8 for now and with the detail you mentioned and the lower larger side vents it should really "harmonize" the front, without changing the headlights (that myself I actually like also). As for the subliminal marketing message of the last part and "don't wanting extensive changes", neither BMW did, bur for cost related reasons and the LCI is for future clients not for the already existing ones, that have already signed the check

@Robo_70 If the headlights rest the same, I don't see why the front bumper shouldn't be swappable, the question is it will worth the effort?

Some more F21 facelift pictures:

Looks like the most noticeable change will be the shape of the air intakes up front.

Different pictures of the same mule car, it seems to be doing some mileage and/or getting quite a lot of attention I'm really curious about the fog lights, I do think the new vents would look much better without them, especially on a M135i, like until now.
