I Think BMW Botox'd Better than Ford

On top of the 2018 Mustang facelift being leaked, BMW unveiled their refresh to the 4-series line. The changes are typical BMW LCI subtle. Juuuuuust enough to keep it fresh to live out the rest of it’s life cycle without dramatically changing the looks.

I think BMW does facelifts right. I don’t understand the need to heavily alter fascias on a car in the name of keeping it fresh. A lot of the time the new fascias clash with usually unmodified bodywork imo. Some light alterations to the lights, new wheel designs, and some light interior work and you’re golden.

I was going to say, if you held a gun to my head and said I have five seconds to find a difference between the two, I would have probably died.

When I look at that, I see my dog scrunching her face when she gets scolded.

Maybe there isn’t a difference. I once handed a coworker two identical photos and asked him to spot five differences. I stole the idea from The Office.

I don’t work there anymore.

Are there actually any changes besides the inside of the headlights (not even the shape)? They went from Xenon to LED on this and the 3-series, but that one at least had some sheetmetal changes. This looks identical to me.

Number plates are different.

I do not like the new “W” headlights on some bimmers. Looks best with circles, dammit!

Are the headlights and filling in the fake vent the only things they changed?

Why do all BMWs have those thin sheetmetal, pouty-lipped, crinkly faces? They left the one thing that needed changing completely untouched.

It’s literally the same car with new headlights. Now this is how you mid-cycle refresh:

Non M-sport models get revised front and rear fascias.

If you buy a non M sport model, you’re doing it all wrong.
