F10 LCI

Perhaps BMW do listen after all? One thing I have learnt is, wait for LCI

New lights and bumpers (the latter probably not with Sport models, same as E60), new 550i engine, US to get 535d engine, revised steering which might solve some of the handling issues. Production in June/July 2013 available Aug/Sept 2013

New on the left, old on the right

Looks quite a lot better to my eyes.

I know it's personal opinion, but the bottom of the new version looks much cleaner to me, certainly less going on.

You know new is on the left, right?

Anything else changing or just styling?

On another note - when should we expect a new iDrive?

Probably not until the new G series 7s come out

G series!?

Yes, the numbering system for the new 7 series is not Fxx anymore, it's designated to be Gxx (sorry if I confused you by using the word "series").

The newer iDrive came out with my2013 cars. The test cars have the side profile and rear lights masked so there are some changes to those. The other major thing that has been mentioned is that the steering will be totally revised to improve feel and feedback, that could well include some suspension changes. LED lights become an option so maybe xenons will become standard too.

I'm keen to see the interior differences if any, it was pretty spot on for pre LCI. I'm sure it will just be things like standard screen size across the range, etc
