This is a new release (LCI means “facelift” in BMW-speak). Attached are some photos from Bimmerpost. What are most obvious are a few minute changes: the new LED lights on both the front and rear, and also the slightly altered front apron. The rest are more trivial: new wheel styles and paints. There’s also an updated navigation system inside, and my favorite: a digital gauge cluster!
Just keeping you guys in the know.

Is the M4 apron different? Looks like only the 4 series is revised in those pics. I’m sure it will get the same light and iDrive updates

Nah, the M-sport bumper didn’t get updated either. That is the LCI M4 pictured, you can tell because of the updated headlight signature, which is the only change you’d see in that pic. The only other exterior M4 change would be the updated taillight signature.

Getting more Kia-like by the day, albeit without the reliability...

You are correct!

I really want a silly name blue one when it comes time to replace my e92. Damn that’s a nice color.

“Snapper Rocks Blue”
Ah, BMW naming schemes, you always seem to amaze...

Is it BMW getting more Kia-like, or is Kia getting more BMW-like?

I really want a new one in Arktisgrau Metallic (269) or Stahlblau Metallic (372).
Individual Grigio Telesto is $7K on F80 M3's. Tanzanite Blue metallic only ran $2K for 2015.
Hopefully it’s the $2K (or $1.7K) instead of the +$5K upcharge for out of production or paint to sample.

Yeah, I will admit the name is a bit, well, stupid honestly. I know it’s named for yet another place I will never go to like a lot of their other colors, but damn.

Tanzanite is nice. So is Yas (!!!!) Marina and of course Estoril. If I couldn’t have one in blue, I would probably go with Sunset Orange.

We will probably get garbage red turn signals instead of the amber ones shown above.
