what's the deal with the brighter factory AE's??

I heard people saying the 550 GT has nicer AEs

The looks might take some getting used to but the 4.4 V8TT will more than make up for it. You 2010 guys enjoy that. I'm not disagreeing however, the current model looks better than this LCI.

I think it looks really good but for the fog light location - very Mercedes ML, but the rest is nice.

vladberca · 02-02-2010, 08:34 AM

Not so bad, but I'm curious about the M Packet

phattbam · 02-02-2010, 10:55 AM

those pics of the revision look better now. haha but the fogs placement will take some getting use to. the new rear bumper looks almost X3-ish now with the Mpack

I like it a lot... except, i really wish bmw kept their 3 rods for the taillights slimmer -- i really like that look.

zibawal · 02-02-2010, 12:01 PM

for the sake of v8 tt , all is well with me! if i dont have choice

Mtech · 02-02-2010, 09:34 PM

it got Bangled =(

scottz5 · 02-03-2010, 10:00 AM

I am sure it will grow on us.

09BMWX530i · 02-03-2010, 01:11 PM

I like it.

Changes are subtle and not too over the top. I could live with the fog lights.

archwerks · 02-03-2010, 04:55 PM

If they have the big vents like the x6 then put the fogs on the vent fin too. Otherwise it's not unified & looks too busy like the new rear bumper...way too busy with the black strip in between painted colors.

Dazzler · 02-04-2010, 05:30 AM

Can someone please put me out of my misery and tell me what LCI stands for?

d3l0n · 02-04-2010, 11:49 AM

the rear tail lights are lame!
