I prefer the 2020-2022 models, the old headlights looked a lot better and I never was a fan of slapping a big tablet where the instruments cluster should be. I do love the brown leather interior.
Yeah the front grills are amazing looking … if you’re blind 😬🤮 a shocking mess of a design with very fussy body lines . Easily one of the worst designs bmw has made in recent times . Total GOPPING is the best description of the g8x
Only in black. When you see them on any other colour they look so out of place. Don’t match the lines of the car at all. The G20 grills should have been added to the M3 in my opinion.
@@Monztxr naw, they look good in that lime green, that light blue, silver as well but i also like dark colored cars so I would have mine in that dark grey or something similar. They look good man
Sir I must tell you this , you're a GOOD car journalist you only speak positive things I'd like to see more of your reviews on cars. You rock sir.👊👊👊👊👊
Matt. For me, simply put ICONIC! Without doubt one of the best cars ever designed and built. Again, as you say ..one word, INCREDIBLE! And yes I agree with you, the specification of this one is perfect!. Colour, interior etc. Amazing machine. Nothing comes close. Other than the M cars from BMW.
Maybe cus those lights are meant for the M4. Cus they were first introduced for the M4 CSL, and because the m3 and m4 is so similar, this is also a good way to make them a lil different, with that spec just for the m4.
This is actually a very soothing and well deserved review for this beautiful car, the mild facelift has its special effect that just hits different. This was an amazing review ❤
The new lights look epic, I have the current generation and from the beginning i thought that the new headlights looked worse then the current "angel eyes" but now when i see them they look supersharp and very angry.
Really really dig the new M3. I wish they made that huge tablet more intergrated with the dashboard. As it stands now, it looks like they slapped a tablet on it interior and called it a day. It looks bad especially from the passenger side.
The old DRL's are better when you look at them in isolation but the new ones add to the overall agressive look of the front. I also think these will stop the yellow DRL trend, don't think they'd look good in yellow.
My dude, I completely get what you mean with regards to the M4 with these updated headlights. Saw one recently, believe it was in Skyscraper grey, but it looks much more bulky now. Did they modify the car or the side profile of the lci m3/m4 by any chance?
Honestly, the sapphire black metallic colour is a beautiful colour for the BMW, however, I personally don't think it works well with black wheels. You can have gun metal or even silver coloured wheels would look better.
Internal carbon trim now £1800 option.. leather seats.. option.. Basic metallic paint now an option… BMW are taking the pee. Separately, great video, informative, well presented 👍
Look at the price increase and then choose if it’s worth it. They removed the laser lights which were a massive plus. Slight increase in BHP which isn’t going to be noticeable. Steering wheel is nice but obtainable, easily and cheaply. Now go to the configuration and add the ultimate pack. Notice the carbon bucket seats aren’t included. They’ve made the ultimate pack not so ultimate. This means that the carbon bucket seats have to be purchased on top of the ultimate pack, separately. If it were me I’d be going with a brand new pre LCI.
I completely disagree with you, this car looks absolutely amazing. The kidney grills make this car look menacing and very aggressive, I would've been disappointed if they changed that.

Thats what you say now
I said the same thing until I got my 2023. Now I can’t not have that screen
Agreed on the headlights. They look "without identity".
@hevalkan6645 exactly people get so attached to things even if they weren't as good as what we have now. They're delusional
All new ai cameras going up in uk and they start putting massive tablets on dash
These grills on these m3’s look AMAZING I literally do not care what anyone says. It looks soo much more aggressive.
Totally agree!

Only because the car is black the grills are so bad they should only sell it in black.

I appreciate that!
My only two things is I wish they made the screen more integrated with the dashboard and have the previous laser lights they do not look outdated yet
fantastic video, great overview
Thank you!

Amazing machine. Nothing comes close. Other than the M cars from BMW.
It’s an amazing thing!
Facts
I need to follow you, you are actually very good on details on your videos
Thank you.
How come the M3 don’t get the laser rear lights as on M4?
Maybe cus those lights are meant for the M4. Cus they were first introduced for the M4 CSL, and because the m3 and m4 is so similar, this is also a good way to make them a lil different, with that spec just for the m4.
I have them on my 2025 m440i

Thank you so much!
black over tartufo wow great underrated spec
What ever happened to the laser lights ?
good looking motor
It is!
im disappointed with the back wished they added the new taillights
You can get the new taillights as an option, at least here in Europe.
@@leandrodomingues50for an m3? what do they look like?
@@milos-vv3gjnope, not for M3.
@@deniznarli2535 yeah I was thinking the same thing
M3s best look is just getting clear tails or maybe gts

Love to see and hear on the road
Can anyone riddle me why BMW got rid of the HALO LIGHTS it was a BMW stamp
The new lights look epic, I have the current generation and from the beginning i thought that the new headlights looked worse then the current "angel eyes" but now when i see them they look supersharp and very angry.
Totally agree!
Wow looks great
It does!
I prefer the old lights😂

It looks bad especially from the passenger side.
Now this is it😩😩😩
Should have had the laser rears. Not digging the new front daytime lights
You know what car looks way way better and preforms better beside the F8X, the M340iv looks so much better
The old headlights for sure!
dont mention the price..... please
Lets go bimmer!!!
I thought M3 could have the new laser taillights.
Unfortunately not.
I like the New R Rings 😊
does it still have rear climate control unit?
Yes. I’m waiting for mine 😊
Prefer hvac manual buttons and older laser lights
The old DRL's are better when you look at them in isolation but the new ones add to the overall agressive look of the front. I also think these will stop the yellow DRL trend, don't think they'd look good in yellow.
Agreed.
I still say that front grill needs go in the BIN 🗑️ it will never look good people have go as far as changing front grill and bumper
Did you notice how OP didn’t reply to you? Because he’s not allowed to talk about the grille. This is nearly certainly a paid BMW advertisement
I prefer the older ones more since day one. Lci models looks dull on every beemer
Can u get a panroof on these ? M3 or m4?
You can but then no carbon fiber roof
@@SirSchmittyX not sure there's that option on the UK configuration
Moonroof is usless when you have carbon roof
Seat color 😊
Spot on isn’t it 👌🏼
OMG❤ Oyster interior and car is perfect 🙈
They should make the front more longer like extended wheelbase
M3 should never be over £100k
I don't like the dashboard, personally that big TV to me it kills big part of BMW spirit. But the rest looks amazing

Did they modify the car or the side profile of the lci m3/m4 by any chance?
No.
another dream car for sure.
It really is!
Crappy cheap looking black alloys, bring back silver as they look more classy and better 😊
Wish it came with a Sunroof 😢
You can option for it, but you lose the carbon fiber why the hell would you do that? Also sunroof sucks. I never use mine.

Still doesn't like that front
Youre cray cray

@@PeakMotionOfficialso do you
😮
Does it have cup holders in the rear seats?
Yes.
Was wondering what LCI meant before i saw it was Life Cycle Impulse, or BMW speel for mid life facelift in other terms.
Exactly that.
The rear lights are also different actually
Who the hell thinks that much wheel gap in the front is acceptable

This dashboard is a disaster... Why the hell does the poor guy need such a big display?

Same!

Incredible 😅
It is!
I find those new number 7-like DRLs rather underwhelming👎🏽

no m3 and normal 3 series headlight shape is different

You could drive it if you wanted too…
man i hated these headlights but now they look so damn menacingggg!! especially a stain black lowered m3,m4! it looks sexy asf
So nothing much has really changed???? Just the model name?
Great review regardless. 👍
This new m3 competition or 2019 m5 competition ? And why ?

Not much of a facelift really
grille looked hideous when it first came out. Still looks hideous.
