Pictures My Pre-LCI BMW G20 320d vs LCI G20 320d

Had an interesting opportunity to have these two cars in my garage at the same time so I figured the ocassion warranted some pics...

My wife has a loaner 320d LCI while her car undergoes a minor recall procedure.

It's not often that we get the chance to compare pre and post facelift models in such similar spec.

Driving and functional use impressions to follow later.

Oh, and just so the old girl doesn't feel left out...

That's so much fun. Interior and exterior specs are almost identical.

The pre Facelift looks better, especially the interior.

Separate buttons for the HVAC, nicer shifter, nicer steering wheel.

Wow nice post Martin!! Very interesting to compare the pre LCI and LCI when the specs are virtually the same. Both cars look superb but I personally like the Pre LCI interior dash, with the HVAC controls and vent design looking more premium with the metal surrounds instead of plastic.

The front of the facelift is far superior IMO

I prefer the notch-less headlights of the LCI but the pre-LCI's bumper looks more premium with more painted surface than the LCI. That lower intake makes for a good deal more black.
