I'm torn between JG and TP.

But for the green, it's red calipers.
I was sold on purple until I saw green on the BMW individual site.

Decisions, decisions....

Red is infinitely better. Others are free to voice their opinion matters not to me.

My IoMG w/ red calipers is drop dead gorgeous imo . But to each their own

Pleasantly surprised how well JG is doing in the early voting.

I need more people to vote here and then with their wallets so I can see it in as many pictures as possible before I decide to order it, or wimp out and take a more "subtle" but still wild Twilight purple.

So here are a couple of reminders how good JG looks on the predecessor to the M2.

remember it's not a Fecelift, it's a Model Year. Facelift will come next year, SOP 07/25 as of today.
The title of this post is 2025 facelift.

I don’t remember this on the 23/24?
Any more deets on this? ‘Mon - somebody’s gotta know something. Where’s my turbo boost button?

Other than the new steering wheel and Climate control vents, I see not much difference at all.
Barely an LCI……

How’s +37ft lbs, +20HP more sound?

More paint colors, another interior option (Red/Black).

What were you expecting?

LCI usually means new headlights, revised front bumper cover, revised rear bumper and significant interior changes.
Have you seen the 2022 M340i compared to the 2023 LCI M340i ? Significant changes were made inside and out.
For and LCI to just have a new steering wheel, 20more HP, more color options ( and I believe an increase in price if I’m not mistaken )…is weak AF

I have to agree. The whole concept of "lci" is just stupid. And the fact that people actually refer to car models as "lci" is worse. "Do you have the lci?" "I'm getting the lci" "is it the lci or pre-lci?". I don't know what's wrong simply saying the year of your particular model anymore :

I don't think it's stupid at all. It helps differentiate upgraded cars if you don't know the model year specifically. If let's say I want to buy the most updated car, I would simply ask when the LCI came out for that particular car and there ya go. I mean, hell the ultimate LCI or technically LCI 2 was the F87C. That even had a different name.

So does this mean we'll potentially get an "LCI-2" with more potential changes? As others have mentioned, this deviates greatly from what a standard LCI has always been.
