I'd like to see pics of the LCI M240i..
I'm hoping for more colour choices.

keylime503 · 01-14-2017, 12:41 PM

Does anyone know when we can reasonably expect the official word from BMW on all the changes for MY '18. I'm trying to do ED of an M240i in July/August and I'd like to to lock in the delivery date within the next 2 months which likely means I have to stick with a '17.

Looks like the only thing thats changed are the head/tail lights. Anybody know whether its normally a straight forward swap? May look to swap out my m235i lights for these in future.

Most probably, yes, especially the rear lights since there seems to have been no changes in the rear bumper at all. This has been the case with the F30 too.

I am no expert on this type of thing, but the other significant change I see is body-colored mirrors instead of gray. I'd also prefer to have more color choices, but that's a moot point for me, as my AW m235i is new and I won't be trading for at least 5 or 6 years and who knows what will be available then.

That's a 230 so it comes with body colored mirrors.

If those tail lights are more modern looking I'd swap mine out in a heartbeat.

Looks good!

Looks good.

I feel bad for the f80 guys. Their LCI just came out and they're already coming out with a new one in a few months.

I didn't think anything was really changing for the F80 guys. Outside of the a few different options such as that digital display and maybe some idrive stuff.

the mustangs are getting pretty darn nice for the money. the fact that BMW doesn't have LED headlights as standard is pretty sad. I don't think they'll be able to get away with this in the next generation of 2/3/4 cars.

Well, let's hope we don't get that update with the 2018 2er LCI..
