Search, and ye shall find.

I can't find the 3 series thread,

Was looking for the X4 thread the other day couldn’t find it, I know it’s out there but it’s tedious trying to use the search function on the forum.

Do you primarily browse on Phone, tablet, or desktop?

Phone.

Phone.

The search function should still be effective, the only caveat, is you need to know you model codes!

From the main forum list, select the BMW forum as you would if you were looking for any BMW thread.

Then press the search option in the top right...

Whack in the model code, select from 'This Forum', then hit 'Search titles only'...

The result is...

..

It might not be entirely intuitive, but it is pretty effective, and realistically, it takes seconds.

There are other ways, but by the time you have to follow more than a few clicks, the search option is realistically just as fast.

"Facelifted BMW 3 Series mostly shows curved infotainment display".

It doesn't show anything. The curved display is completely obscured by a big, black cover.

Don't think the new curved screen, together with the removal of the dash buttons and the new mini gear shifter are a change in te right direction. Particualrly when the G20 3er interior is almost perfect.

Ok, if I want to see a particular Mercedes Thread I should try to guess the model year, then google to see if I find the code and then do the GCF search, great.
Basically you just posted a complex instruction manual to do a search that was previously intuitive and took half a second.

Hopefully one day this and the model lists can be programmed as they were before.

I really like the dash as it is now

BMW 3 Series Spy Photos Reveal Redesigned Dash Coming With Facelift

New BMW 3 Series spy photos reveal the company is redesigning the dashboard for the car’s mid-cycle refresh.

Shouldn't this be posted in a new thread? I knew to expect these any day now, because BMW typically has these LCI changes defined internally within just 2 years of Job 1 (ie early 2000-E46; early 2007-E90; late 2013-F30). And sometimes even earlier, like in the case of the rushed LCI for G11.

It's the permanent death of BMW's cluster of HVAC and media/shortcut switch gear.

I don't know how his videos will be, but that expression on his face in each one he makes doesn't even inspire me to play it, a bad first impression I think is said.

Speaking of the LCI, it would be the first time that it would be based on redesigning an interior so thoroughly, besides that the current one is totally beautiful as it is, and as fresh as if it had been presented yesterday, so I'm not so sure that they will change it, we'll see

@dalab

He actually praised the 330e. He explains the differences between hybrid, plug-in hybrid and BEV. Very informative video.

Right, but the cover is important, that's why even less do I understand that expression on his face in each video

 

[MrRapp]

Would be curious to know what the development of the PHEV's will look like. Understood new G70 will get 5th gen. battery pack with updated B58 boosting power to 500hp. Curious if they will also increase power of 330e and hopefully, sometimes a B58 PHEV in the 3 series...

 

[Carnutt]

Like the looks of the G20 a lot - the grill is trim and refined and I really like the tush also.

 

[Swiss_ZH]

Looks like the LCI will get the BMW i vision dynamics daytime running light. This is the BMW i3 btw.

 

[SKY]

Looks like the LCI headlights will lose the kink in the lower part of the cluster.

Well now it's almost certain that the 7er and X8 whose visual signature we're speculating about at length aren't even getting the not really corona rings but still kind of corona rings L-shape DRLs of the LCI 5er, no, they're probably directly jumping over to the next step of the icon demolition i.e. the iX style not at all corona rings reverse L-shape DRLs; the eye iris analogous corona rings at BMW are definitively going down the drain. Very disappointing.

 

[hovabongZA]

BMW have been said to be going down the drain for as long as I can remember.
