Physical buttons for climate control would have been much better. Sometimes less technology is more. Beautiful car though.
Yes, but it costs money. And we all know these luxury brands are all about saving money, uh…sophistication I mean.
@@quitegenius Absolutely right! Plus, if something goes wrong with screen, it’s more money in their pockets. Lol. You know they’ll never let us win. 🤣
Agreed there choosing looks over function, a lot of the controls are hidden in menus which require you take your eyes of the road versus being able to feel around for a button. This is not only more work but also more dangerous
taking away buttons and tactility and replacing them with touch screen is not a technological upgrade. Its not the same as smartphone and buttonphones where the touch screen brought a whole lot of utility
agreed 2022 models don’t even have a on and off AC button. you have to go through the idrive menu just to access. such an inconvenience
I’m so happy that they didn’t screw up the exterior front fascia by giving it an oversized grille. Beautiful car design!
Even tho the current m3 looks better than the m4
normal grill is getting boring and if you don’t like the new one more than the old, you just don’t wanna accept it.
I agree
The big grills are only for luxury models. This is because the Japanese market is the main inspiration for the big grill. Otherwise the models which arent luxury models dont need to have big grills and are mainly targeted at mainstream market
Finally, BMW has taken the grill design in the right direction. Well done! Better late than never.
Well this isnt a M car
@@W1HURI Nor is the 430..., what do you mean its not a M car? What has that to do with the hughe Kidneys he talked about?
@@Al2006essandro bt the m3 has the big grill like on the m4
@@Al2006essandro i just meant that the big grille ones are mostly M cars
@@W1HURI you are right, the big grills are for the Msport and competition models and I dare say they don't look so bad in person. It is a bold visual statement.
Thank you for not giving this the oversized grill treatment. After owning several M cars I haven’t been able to get myself over the current M4, even though mechanically it’s a great car.
Dude that shit was ugly
They were just trying something different
Er... have you seen that shark mouth right beneath the grill? The "oversized grill" has only dropped a bit.
Same, too ugly to ever be welcome in my garage
M340i is your best bet for now lol
The front view looks better than the new 7 series 👍👍
You're right, they butchered the iconic grill design in 7.
But the rear though. The Alpina edition with the lower part of the bumper (diffuser) in the same color as the body looks much better.
The front of the bmw 7 series lights /front reminds me of the old bmw 8 series with pop up lights…only difference is the big grille,overall am very comfortable with the front of the bmw 7 series with loads of intelligent features as well.
Anything looks better than a train smash
Oh I so f*cken agree, My M3 is so sexy in front, why change sexy to an ugly mole.
I like the exterior updates overall. Really not a fan of the wide screen for the interior. I much prefer a gauge cluster and physical buttons for HVAC. There's nothing preventing glare on the screen behind the steering wheel and using a touch screen for HVAC settings is inherently less convenient and safe.
i love the wide screen 😍
It’s not very well integrated and I’d assume is probably cheaper for BMW in the long run while promoting it as an “upgrade”. I can see them copy and pasting this same screen across various models and save themselves from having to design and manufacture unique gauge clusters for each model.
Strongly agree, they did this also in the E60 by hiding most HVAC settings in the iDrive which was one of the few things that let the car down, so much so they ditched it completely in the F10 and G30 but here we are again.
@@matijanovosel4437 ur a loser
@@matijanovosel4437 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The exterior is great but the old interior was better with the housed gauge
Yeah you’ve learnt your grill design lesson
No. They arent. This is because they didnt want to change the 2019 chassis. Just minimal changes to the pre LCI
I hat people like this
@@ironhide_1012 guess why the ‘minimal’ changes
@@Miguelito0oO he just said why. Because they didn’t change and body panels: this is a facelift, they change stuff while keeping the proportions the same. A big grille would not fit with the bonnet, so they couldn’t do it. Another reason is that that’s not BMW’s strategy. The 1, 3 and 5 series, x1, x3 and x5 will keep the horizontal grille for now. The X7 and i7 get split headlights, while the 4 gets agressive big grilles and perhaps the X4 will as well.
@@mihnealazar7039 of course it needed a facelift
The never compromised physical Volume knob ! Well done BMW
“Nice computer on wheels” -Said no automotive enthusiast ever. Ever.
Love the exterior design. I think the interior is a downgrade. I love technology, but when it goes too far it can be really frustrating.
Exterior looks old and outdated.
Have you driven this pre lci 3 series? The technology doesn't hurt it at all!!
@@ligametis bugging
Ok boomer.
@@SirHargreeves I am 28. I have 2020 3 Series and love it, perfect balance. I love tech, but when it goes too far it is counterproductive.
Nice exterior 🏆 BMW back to an exciting beautiful look. A breath of excitement because BMW created a beautiful front grill and didn’t use ugly 4 series grill. Nice to see they listened and puts BMW back on many short lists for cars to buy 👍
The new light dance when unlocking is the beat😍
Exactly! Few people mention this
I like this too.
Looks terrific. Would choose this over the new 7-Series any day. Your presenter was excellent, by the way.
I wish they went back to the gauge cluster more and the out side looks outstanding but the interior, I’m not a fan but I hope they redesign the interior the screens to be separated and the physical buttons for the controls of the A/C
I own a USDM '19 30i and I am in love with it. This facelift, however, is an obvious cost-cut. It's a bit of a cringey thing to do to a niche market $60k+ sedan but I suppose it does not matter when most of your business is wrapped up in fleet leasing.
Replacing gauge cluster with LCD screen is a bad idea, it just doesn’t look like it belongs there. Sure we like bigger screens but not at the expense of traditional gauges. Upgrade the center console to have a bigger screen.
Buy a C Class
Mercedes screens say hello
you have bad taste. That has mercedes, which is is UGLY and looks like a taste for gypsies, yuk
I’m guessing ur not a younger buyer
No one will care about physical clusters, get over it
So happy that ordered 2022 5 series without a stupid TV and touch buttons. Last bmw which makes sense
So glad mine has idrive 7. It’s near perfect. Physical buttons AND idrive and touch screen. And much less fussy and better integrated.
Thaannnkkkk gooddd ! they didn’t ruin the exterior design like they did to the poor 7 series Great Upgrade 🔥
I prefer the pre-LCI version but the LCI version is not bad and most people may prefer the LCI because of the big curve touch screen. I don't like the new big curve touch screen because Benz did it before. The headlamps with jagged lines in the pre-LCI version look more attractive but the animation headlamps in the LCI is good.
Yeah, pre-LCI had more character
Even if they had identical interiors/tech I’d still go with the LCI..the front end looks sportier and the curved kidney grills look more aggressive..like the ones on the 8 series ..They should’ve been gloss black though..but that’s an easy fix
Interior is only downgrade for me. WE all love real buttons in car.
A BMW without a gearbox selector!!! This seriously disappoints me 😔
@mhd I’m really surprised! I mean does Currently BMW employ designers that don’t know the history of the brand or it’s spirit and soul?!!! We don’t need a car with a BMW badge! We need an actual one with its original soul. We are ok with the modernization but let’s keep what make a BMW a BMW.
This probably is the last BMW featuring a “normal” grille
Thank god I just picked up an M340i a few days ago with physical HVAC buttons
Wow beautiful cars. Top design BMW
I am absolutely in love with this car. I think BMW has really done a good job in refining the interior as well as exterior design. Things look modern, elegant and sporty, just the way a BMW should look like! 👌🥰
Thank you for the kind words, my friend. We are truly grateful for your passion in what we do! 😎🙌
@@BMW My pleasure, my friend! Keep it up! 💪
One word ; PERFECTION!
Love it, I have a 2020 M340 it never fails to impress me. The exterior rear design here is great, and I’m liking the new display.
Thank you for the kind words, +fatalradius . We are truly grateful for your passion in what we do!
Prefer that over the m3 purely because of the grill
@@malik1ace788 the grill of new M3 is good too but nothing beats iconic BMW kidney grill
Just ordered mine in Skyscraper Grey with M-sport plus trim, looks absolutely gorgeous. Delivery mid Nov 2022🥰
Thanks a lot for the normal sized grill
The carbon diffuser from that satin blue car makes it look soooo much better imo
Can you get the refreshed 3 series with the Augmented View with the new operating system 8? That is something you can get with the latest and smallest X model but I can't seem to find it as an option in the 3 series...which is a bit odd
The design team did amazing job with this one
Thanks for not ruining this one
Nice. Makes me like my F80 even more!
This one looks really good keep it up BMW!
Perfect presentation, the car looks better. This is bmw 💥💥💯
I hate that all the important buttons are gone
Besides the giant "braces looking" radiator grill, great upgrades all around. I think the wide screen infotainment system is very modern and people will like it.
I just want to say that I appreciate the bonnet/hood following the lines of the lights/kidney grills. It was the same on the E90 and subsequent models went for a straight cut bonnet/hood which looked like an ugly cost cutting measure. In fact I disliked it so much, it's the reason I now have a Golf R. With this though, I can definitely see myself in another 3 series. Looking good!
Great stuff, but what of these presented features are really available to order? The Driving Assistant Professional for instance is only available for the 340d/i....
hahaha.
While the front is a massive upgrade from most other BMWs of late, it still could be reduced in size by about 25%. I''m not too keen on all the digital panels in the interior too. I'd rather have a Volvo S/V60 instead of the new 3-series.
The question is : Is embedded Spotify is HQ or always 64kbs bitrate?
Augmented reality is not available on the 3er navigation system?
Prefer instrument gauges & climate controls by buttons.
This middle-term modification looks great than before. I like the interior which make 3 series more modern. Maybe many do not agree with that. But for BMW it needs to find an effective way of how to catch up the new supremacy (Tesla, BYD), even though for it's ICE role.
People were always pointing out how bad the old C-class and Audi A4's slapped on infotainment screen looked. BMW definitely went backwards with their decision to replace their fine interior with that huge, poorly integrated screen. If you're going to do it this way, then you lose what made you special, and the existing Mercedes models do it better.
I mean at least now they're on par with Mercedes. Audi just needs to catch up
@@Daniel-dj7fh sadly they did it worse. This looks really cheap if you compare it vs pre-LCI. I can understand it in electric cars but for regular car this is downgrade in all directions. Honestly Audi for now have the best balance of German big three.
@@SnjurCro What makes everything worse, you are pretty much paying 10-15k more than what you would have 4 years ago
@@Daniel-dj7fh and they made interior "cheap". I don't know how but they definitely lost sport ride feel inside. The only thing in class where 3 series was better than competition Merc/Audi. I know that inflation is part of the life but this is huge jump with downgrade experience. My goal for new car was maybe this LCI for 2 years but l'm sure that would something else now.
@@SnjurCro I think the 3 big German fims are the same thing, they offer the same with different looks. One company oofers one thing better but two things worse, vice versa. Even VW is asking way too much for their stuff atm. The VW Polo we got 3 years ago costs 10k more, you get nothing more. Except maybe 1-2 more driving assistants nobody needs or uses.
This facelift is really gorgeous
congrats for such a great update. keep it classy
beautiful Design
Yes but does it come with adaptive cruise as standard…???
What's included in connected drive? It's this a subscription service?
This generation, Does the headlights turns with the steering wheel?
Anybody knows what color is that one. I really love that color. Do I have to choose the M Sport package to get that color?
Let us have more burbles in the 2021 M340i and please update the idrive with valve control for m340i 2021 and usb CarPlay option (the wireless one has problems with connecting sometimes). Thanks
Can you please put this front facia on at least the M3. Please.
Nice to see they dialed the grille size a bit.
I prefer the pre facelift. Headlights and interior are better in my opinion.
2023 bmw 340i is my next car, i'm so love it.
I quite like the color. Looks beautiful. Is it white? thnks
Damn that voice, its just so perfect, thats some ASMR stuff right here XD
I LOVE THIS CAR. I want to get it for the interior upgrades alone. I'm dying for the X5 updates though. COME ON WITH IT! 😛
+AllenLaCour 🙌💙
Hi , can you say if M3 Competition have 4w traction? Tks from Brasil 🇧🇷
Can’t wait for this to come to the US!
Lovely 😍
Finally a new bmw design that’s actually an improvement. Rare sight these days
would standard family (2+2 in baby/toddler seats) fit in this car or is it only Young/Sporty/Enthusiastic and nothing more?
A beautiful car.
Beautiful, can’t wait to see the new 5. I love the new 7, looks like a Rolls Royce
BMW never fails to amuse us
I was waiting for this 🔥
one word, WOW!!!
@5:51 Instant butt roasting of toxic relatives 😅😅
F30 Seats height are terrible did the G20 seats is improved?
How much is the repair for oil leaks?
beautiful color...what is name of this color plz ?
Fantastic
love this LCI! its perfect for my new daily, oh wait there is no buttons and dials…..
I overall like it 👌🏼😌
Bon continuations
Will it have ventilated seats?
Looks soooo good 😍
+LloydBMWSouthLakes Hopefully you get to see it up close and personal soon 😉
It was so beautiful !
When it release in India??
Beautiful but What’s up with the M-series logo on the trunk? 🤔
When are we going to see a new GT version of the 3 series?
Well done BMW, nice car and exactly the right updates. Thanks for sharing those features in detail. More films like this one needed.
You should do the detailed presentation of the touring with the same M Sport & Brooklyn Grey combo. That would be awesome! Maybe in the near future release a jacked up raised wagon also.😉
Manual transmission?
Why does the new 330i not have surround view? Or assisted driving?
Love the looks and performance. Though I'm just wondering how digital keys work if someone loses their smartphone away from home?
How does a conventional car key work when you lose it?
Or when your Phones battery runs out
Thanks for not ruining it with split headlights and an illuminated lunge grille! This car actually look like an appealing and sophisticated BMW! Good job!
hahaha.
BMW you make the beauty come true 😊 Just im gonna say اللهم أرزقنا ياااا☝️ااارب
Nice 👍👍
Beautiful!!!!!
That trailer voice though
Gear knob?
Now, this looks promising.
I don't understand the obsession of replacing all tactile controls with touch screen. How are they better? Good luck hitting the temperature adjustment while you are navigating windy back road at night. Physical buttons I can hit with my eyes closed. Clearly driven by cost not usability.
Bro I don’t know why more people don’t agree with this. I love nice tactile buttons, I don’t get why people fall for the touch screen garbage. First of all as you said it ruins some of the usability, second it takes so much focus off the task at hand … DRIVING, and finally it is so poorly integrated it just looks ugly and lazy design wise. Idk I hate these new car trends.
Looks good outside but the inside needs HVAC controls that are physical
