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
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
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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
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.
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 👍
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 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! 👌🥰
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.
@@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.
@@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.
@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.
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.
Removing the gearlever just to be replaced with a rocker-switch was one of the worst decisions ever. I hate having to take my eyes off the road. Now new 3-series owners will have to do it in their ultimate driving machine too... It's just... Just not good. Especially when trying to do a 3-point turn for example. BMW really needs to bring the gearlevel back as an option or something.
in my opinion, if it doesn't need a gear shifter (as in non manual cars) it doesn't need a stick. The nob is way more compact and a much cleaner design.
@@Daniel-dj7fh No, it means He has to check when putting it into S instead of D. Plus, that is just wasted space because nothing is put as extra into the space where the stick used to be occupying. Also, why does the M car gets a stick even when only the base model is manual?
So BMW already charges $18 per month to use the heated seats you were already paid for, when will the subscription for using air conditioning and heat kick in? BMW? Anyone?
I've been a BMW customer for many years (M3s, 5 series and many others), and I always loved the distinctive and sporty traits their cars had. This time, however, I think that the LCI exercise did not work. The exterior design lacks personality vs the original G21, while the interior, with the long un-integrated display, looks simply ugly. Also the dashboard graphics used for Idrive 8 (with the 2 'boomerangs') look odd, cheap and confusing: really bad altogether. I ordered few weeks ago an M240i which I just discovered will share the same interiors...and I'm disappointed to the point I'm trying to get the order cancelled.
@japanwatchconnection ...the issue is the reason why the contract may be canceled: this interior change is considered by BMW as 'an Improvement', so apparently you cannot cancel at zero cost
@@asdasd-sb9bk Depends on where he's located. I'm in Europe, Belgium and you can only get the LCI here anymore, they stopped selling the pre-LCI last month. It sucks because I really wanted the pre-LCI but was two days too late to order. I ordered an LCI but I already know that screen and lack of physical buttons (why, oh why did they remove the shortcut/memory buttons?!?) is going to irritate me to no end
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.
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!
I'm a 2014 428i owner. I have been waiting for the new 4 series to upgrade to 440i. When the controversial (read: hideous) design came up, I just couldn't order the car. The money was ready and I knew the car was great other than the outer design. But the design ruined everything. So I decided to go for 3 series. M340 looked cool (though, not a coupe cool). I realized the LCI was coming up and waited for it to put an order. Now with the new interior, I will just try to go with some other brand. I still love BMW engines and think they are the best among the other German brands (except Porsche). But the design department keeps messing up these beautiful machines.
People need to stop thinking or saying "design deparment". These are top high execs making the decisions. They get different options from design and they go for their choice which is usually bad but they force it as the top high execs usually have no style or sense of aesthetics/balance.
@@aliutku99 that's pretty cool, what about the m240i? It's coupe and has all the fun of the m2, maybe worth looking into ? I have a 2013 335i m sport but ready to upgrade, I might just get the m340i but I feel you on the new bmws not checking all the boxes anymore
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.
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!
I paid 69 000 euros for my bmw 330e last year. Now its price has risen to 85 000 euros because of inflation, less equipment as standard and added taxes. I don't think I would buy it with its current price.
I hope there is still some cheaper option to get proper analog gauge cluster instead of huge TV. Oh boy, that screen looks sooo out of place. Exterior is cool though. I am glad you haven't put M3 grills up front.
Probably because its cheaper since they have the big touchscreen anyways. They can justify their bad decision by falsely claiming its modern and the future.
I wouldn't think modern bmw last as long as classic bmw. My f10 always in shop while my e34 still show no sign of stopping. Heard many same stories as mine so we all are just better of with the Japanese brand.
As a 50 yr old who just bought his first bmw 3 series, I don't think of them as "young", however I'd agree that it is sporty & "enthusiastic" compared to our last car.
It looks so much better!! Now fix the M3 and M4 u haven't seen any in my town or country , but the previous gen was and is everywhere !! People don't like how it looks
Lets be real, the LCI cluster was to save money. I didnt even bother leasing this model and rather took the buy option on 2021 lease. I perfer the button layout. The only thing I will miss from this new model is the new idrive software and maybe the headlights?
I read somewhere about an array of 'monetised features' offered by BMW - some of which beg belief. My older BMW's ConnectedDrive does half of what it once did. Can someone reassure this trend is of no concern?
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
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

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.

It looks so much better!! Now fix the M3 and M4 u haven't seen any in my town or country , but the previous gen was and is everywhere !! People don't like how it looks
Beautiful, can’t wait to see the new 5. I love the new 7, looks like a Rolls Royce
Give us a physical dial for the air speed and get rid of the appalling voice controls and utilise Google voice. Then, this will be perfect.
Series 3 is always been my dream car. I will edit this comment one day driving this machine.
would standard family (2+2 in baby/toddler seats) fit in this car or is it only Young/Sporty/Enthusiastic and nothing more?
Thank god they haven't given it the "upgraded" exterior design. Probably the last somewhat clasically good looking 3 series
Beautiful but What’s up with the M-series logo on the trunk? 🤔
This generation, Does the headlights turns with the steering wheel?
F30 Seats height are terrible did the G20 seats is improved?
What's included in connected drive? It's this a subscription service?
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?
Replacing gauge cluster with LCD screen is a bad idea. +1
The carbon diffuser from that satin blue car makes it look soooo much better imo
Augmented reality is not available on the 3er navigation system?
BMW wants drivers to use their fingers now instead of grasping that gear knob for ultimate driving satisfaction. Strange times we live in.
Yes but does it come with adaptive cruise as standard…???
BMW never fails to amuse us
Lets be real, the LCI cluster was to save money. I didnt even bother leasing this model and rather took the buy option on 2021 lease. I perfer the button layout. The only thing I will miss from this new model is the new idrive software and maybe the headlights?
Drivers car and no manual transmission? Pljuc..
Hope you at least solved steering feel and veighness arround center...
One unhappy G20 owner..
There’s one ☝️
I read somewhere about an array of 'monetised features' offered by BMW - some of which beg belief. My older BMW's ConnectedDrive does half of what it once did. Can someone reassure this trend is of no concern?
Why does the new 330i not have surround view? Or assisted driving?
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
Perfect presentation, the car looks better. This is bmw 💥💥💯
Unfortunately many features are not available in the India
The question is :
Is embedded Spotify is HQ or always 64kbs bitrate?
Why did you rip off the physical buttons? :(
I quite like the color. Looks beautiful. Is it white? thnks
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
Nice to see they dialed the grille size a bit.
