Headlights are ok, but I like the lights on his M2 and my 235. The dash too doesn't look right, something just seems off about it.

Honestly the BMW branded photos made the LCI to be way more impressive then it ended up. The tail lights are just too "forced" and ruin the rear...

Maybe it looks better in person.

Let be real here, your buying the M2 to be a true drivers car so we're just being picky here. If I was one of those "guys" and buying a car for looks the LCI m2 would sway me to an M3/4....but the M2 is a much more drivers oriented car and that's what I'm after.

Getting to drive my dads here and there it's pretty crazy how different of a car it is from my 235. It's just epic!

I like the running bar on the pre LCI tails but the brake and blinkers leave much to be desired LCI will definitely be an upgrade, doesn't help I retrofitted LCI tails to my 07 e92 before getting my 15 m235i ended up swapping out all the bulbs for LEDs as soon as I got the car because it bugged me, hopefully BMW is done with halogen tail lights

Up to a certain amount of kilometers you can still reset the total km count.

I've been enjoying the heck out of mine since December of last year. The new LCI features are fine and all, but no regrets.
I'm glad I waited.

the LCi looks fantastic! Pre-LCI looks great, but the new headlights make the car look so much more aggressive!

Meh on the new angel eyes but definitely taillights are an improvement. I kinda don't like the lower half of the M2 from the start so they help some. That pic with the M2 and the aftermarket lower reflector replacement looks like a good idea too.

Interior also I'm glad got the upgraded dash. Not just cluster but the passenger side. It looked really cheap originally so I hope the LCI feels as good in person as it does looks.

I think everything else on the car is the same right?

Love the taillights, but not too sure about the new hexagonal halos... Look like a Siamese cat to me lol. I have the 552 option on order, will see if I change my mind by the production.

Overall 'meh'. It looks forced. Change for the sake of change but not an improvement. Neither pre-LCI or LCI are bad...just different. Those taillights though..the LCIs do not look good at all. The rest is a wash for me and if I didn't have my 17 it would certainly not stop me from getting an 18.

I'd love to have just one in my driveway

But what a little beauty. This proves BMW hasn't forgotten how to make gorgeous looking cars, they just have a momentary lapse of judgement sometimes (yes F10 5GT I'm looking at you).
