I expected a bit more with the lights at least.

Verglas · 09-12-2013, 04:58 AM

I couldnt spot the difference.....what am I missing?

ttimbo · 09-12-2013, 05:50 AM

I agree...nothing to see here!

orcomma · 09-12-2013, 06:10 AM

horizontal slats on lower grille? i cant see front foglamps tho

Don't you think that the reason for them not camouflaging the headlights is because they are the old ones?

Then why camouflage the front bumper? unless they're designing a new front bumper for the old lights which i doubt

I'm thinking the bumper is camouflaged because it is the new one. And the headlights on that particular mule is not masked because it still wears the old hedlights, which they will change later on.

So you are telling us that it is not the LCI model, and that we should have looked at your link instead?

I'm not sure what I am as I changed it a long time ago - not sure why I changed it to polycotton blend though!

I've added a screenshot of the pics and also my own red highlights

The 1er is receiving a typical BMW LCi because in amongst the competition the 1er is holding up rather well and sales continue to be strong so there will not be a dramatic facelift .
There is a slight tidy up around the front with a wider grille and surface treatment to highlight the original headlights.

vladberca · 09-14-2013, 04:29 AM

The LCI model will be presented at Geneva '14?

Thanks, so it's confirmed that the original headlights will stay. I think the current 1er still looks good, so I'm actually okay with this.

Scott, any news about the F20 LCI? When should it be revealed?
Thanks

Not this year

I just bought a 120d (F21). From March there is now an option for heated steering wheel. I also got the M-sport package and the steering wheel will now look the same as the 3 series M-sport wheel.
