Brilliant facelift.

M

Less than brilliant interior revision.

Considerable reduction in ease-of-use and functional simplicity.
Gear lever gone (that gear toggle's going to be far more fiddly to use), no option to engage gearbox sport mode (= no option to rapidly disengage auto start-stop)
Air recirculate button gone, fan speed button gone, fan speed display hidden somewhere in a screen.
Driver's instrument panel display graphics are frankly hideous - it was bad enough getting used to Live Cockpit in the current G20.

Don’t worry. Physical HVAC controls will make a comeback in bimmers as a result of customer feedback. peugeot ditched them 6-7 years ago for touch screen controls but physical controls have returned in their latest models.

The new Range Rover has the same interior as the F-Pace which is one touch screen + physical hvac controls instead of a seperwte screen for hvac controls like the Velar or previous face lifted RR Sport.

There is hope for the future!

But there isn't for me, if I'm to buy G20 LCI as my next company vehicle.

Would you consider an LCI G30?

Would you consider an LCI G30?

Nah, too big, too close to EOL.

Someone please tell me this isn't the best looking non-M front end on a bimmer ever?

It's super clean without fog lights and silly grey accents.

Looks fantastic. On the outside. Wucking fankers.
