- Опубликовано: 31 авг 2020
- The facelifted (LCI=Life cycle Impluse) 2021 BMW 5 Series brings an infusion of modernity into the popular midsized luxury sedan. Checking out this 2021 540i xDrive at BMW of Ridgefield was more than a treat, and so was the STUNNING Carbon Black exterior paint, 19in M sport wheels and shadowline exterior trim pack!
This 2021 540i xDrive with the M Sport package came in around $72k and still was not done with options like adaptive cruise, executive rear seating and loads more.
Huge thanks to BMW of Ridgefield Connecticut! Looking for a new BMW in the area? Make sure to check them out for the best deals and experience!

Well aware that this is not a equal comparison as the 2021 is a M sport package 540i and the 2020 is a non M sport 540i, this is what was at my disposal at the time! This video is to highlight the main visual component changes between the pre LCI and the LCI like the headlights, taillights and front fascia.
I would be happy with either one of them.
Nice job with the comparison. Thank for taking the time.
Thanks for watching!
As being a very strong fan of BMW and I know a lot about them, some facts are wrong, but overall, this is the video I've been waiting for! I can't find a comparison video, and you did a really good job on this video!
Agreed with 1st pt.
Amazing video needed this
The halo lights were really iconic. Sad to see them go…
BMW knows that huge grills cannot be put on the five series..
Didn’t age well 😢
@@AjaxDas still not as bad as the EV grilles..
Phenomenal and thank you for posting. Kind of makes me sad though, because I was looking at a dealership that has a 2020 with the driving assistant professional, verse the 2021 without it, and now I'd only want to get a 2021 or 2022 used!
best comparison video on planet
Great review
thank you!
Good video but de headlight comparison is not that fair. Your pre-lci model has just the standard led lights while your lci-model has the adaptive led lights. The standard led-lights on the lci-model are just 2 little horizontal stripes and look in my opinion less special than the round leds of the pre-lci
Brian Kloeck Actually, the previous generation had adaptive headlights before. However, the new model has the previous optional icon led headlights as standard. Also, the previous generation had burn type turn signals.
Divergent Plosive you mean by previous generation the F10 ? Indeed the standard g30 pre-lci headlights look like the adaptive f10 lci headlights. But with no adaptive function
Just ordered a 530e 2021 !
Just got one been driving 5 serie ever since 1995
I just got my 2020 530E M sport Xdrive. It is a Beautiful car and i can highly recommenden. It is way more fun driving this BMW compared with E class. Love this car.
awesome!
Very detailed
Old vs new side by side comparos are the best. Well done. Nice cars too. 2021 is much improved.
I would say the old circle halo light is more iconic, because 5 series is the first car in the world to use the halo light, or some call it angle eyes on their E39 generation 5 series. They set a trendiness into the car industry with these iconic 4 circles halo light, but now, it's like they are using some aftermarket parts from VW or Jaguar, they changed from a trend setter to a follower. Maybe you are too young to understand how hard can it be for a die hard 5 series lover to accept their new design, but we couldn't change anything.
Image when you driving at night, you could tell it's a 5 series coming towards you instantly by look into their iconic 4 circles halo light even it's 2 miles away, but with these new halo light, you can't tell them apart from a VW or Jaguar.
I definitely understand this! I remember the halo light era especially with the E39 era, its an iconic look. I feel with the F90 pre LCI gen they did that half halo half more angular design to wean people off of it a bit to get people more used to this new L shaped design that is very very similar to the new Jaguar XF headlights. I dont dislike it at all but it puts way more of a visual focus on the kidney grille instead of the headlights now.
As a previous owner of a facelifted E39 with the first angel eyes and now an F10 with xenon angel eyes I agree with every word you say! They are iconic.
Nice Video... a Price comparison would have been interesting 🤓... Is the new one better or only diffent ?
nice vid bro 💯
🖐 ❤️
The new one looks so much better!
I ordered the lci 2 weeks ago i should receive it in 2 more weeks i really can’t wait to get my hands on it😍
congrats!
Which model did you get?
Kabir Dhingra i took the 530i
@@ismaeldaryush2717 why not 540 6 cyclinder
DELHI WALA to be honest the price would be too high, the price of the 530i was now €83000. 540 would be close or over 100 that’s now to much for me😅
Nooooo the halo headlights on the pre face-lift are king
In conclusion, LCI like always is superior lol. Good video, very helpful’
Remarkable
I’ve just changed from a 2016 520 M Sport to 2020 530 M Sport.
One thing I’ve noticed is the seats are now smaller (narrower and lower at the shoulder).
That's disappointing to hear.
They both have iDrive 7, just different screen sizes..
When is the facelift?
Does both of them have idrive 7?
The old has update the I drive to I drive 7. Even the 2020 3 series updated to I drive 7
Good!!
7 2020 vs 7 2021 pls!
Frankly speaking I like the pre-lci which I have. The front grill has become too big and toothy. They should have gone all out and done the 4 series treatment to the grill which does indeed stand out. This pre-lci does not have the adaptive LEDs and rather the old style halos which look a bit dated. The adaptive LEDs on the pre-lci look much better and it is a tie in comparison to the lci, though with the slimmer design and larger grills of the redesign, I am preferring the pre-lci. I agree on the larger screen in the interior being a bit overpowering the interior experience. Overall it brings the car closer to the new BMW design philosophy however it doesn't work for me. Thanks for the overview and comparison, good video.
Pre. Facelift looks soo much better

Compare with the Ⓜ️sport German edition
7:41 for those who are wondering yes that is the id7 system not the id6 the id6 system you can tell because it doesnt have live cockpit pro
@Kabir Dhingra yes he did an awesome vid!
@@mikelsenrajdevathanjam2429 Yes it will, for 2020 they updated the infotainment system to Drive 7, meaning you get all the features as the new one. The only difference is that. the 2021 version has a 12.3-inch screen, and the 2020 has a 10.25-inch screen.
@@mikelsenrajdevathanjam2429 Yeah there are a few ones to touch on. Firstly, idrive 7 and especially the massive 12.3 inch display. I was so surprised how big it was in person. Also the looks are incredible! Those are the main things.
@@mikelsenrajdevathanjam2429 Your good, if you have anymore questions just ask me. But you don’t loose features in idrive 7. You only gain more.
@@mikelsenrajdevathanjam2429 Yes and also the 2021 gets an additional 50 horsepower.
umm correction i don't think it has shadowline trim, the front grill would have been black, the air breather and the tail pipe finishers would have been black as well which is another money squeezer by Beemer. What you are mentioning must be just M package feature. Overall very informative and good to see the comparison with the last gen
Thanks for the insight!
Well I came here expecting to learn a bit more about the mild hybrid gimmick (THE main difference between these two) and how the driving experience is affected, but all I learnt is about some cosmetic differences...
welll then you did learn as the mild hybrid really is just a gimmick nothing more 😂
@@Allcarnews Yeah, but I was interested to know how much it detracts from the driving enjoyment (vs. the pre-LCI model)...
That is a pretty poorly spec'd 540i with a basic 520d headlights...
The Adaptive LED headlights on the previous gen looks great too!
And the previous gen you got there is actually a mild facelifted MY19.
The original G30 is different again in term of the interiors
The headlights has nothing to do with the engines power. It comes to the choice of the owner which kind of headlights BMW builds into the car 🤦♂️
I rather go with he old but facelifted model
RIP the old M Sport wheel... what a shame
Bmw known for double eye DLR head lamps ..please bmw don't change to audi style DLR
Need a black 07 face lift model bonnet hinges and struts, can anyone help 🙏 🙂
More piano black is NOT a good thing. That's my only complaint with the facelift.
agreed!
I like both but I prefer the old one
me too, the old one's light is great
me too
HELL FUCKING NO
Nice comparison. Is there a waterfall in the background or are the engines running? Anyways, it's a bit annoying ;o)
there is a river haha
I like all the upgrades except for the shape of the kidney grill, well it’s not a disaster but not as good as the original design…
I own BMW 5 Series 2019. I dont like the new Model because it looks like Skoda Superb Sportline, especially with those Wheels.
It’s bmw vs skoda superb
Might pick one up in 2025 😂
How’s the reasonable dealer discount on these?
Reasonable.....
I like the 2021 facelifted model better ❗️👍👍👍
I not
Hi All Car Expert, can I change the front grill and lamp from pre facelift to thr new one PnP?
No
@@Allcarnews thanks for your information
L ancienne plus jolie !
You cant compare the Previous one with the facelifted one because you brought the non LED ADAPTIVE lights (in the Previous) which add much more aggressive look in the car
it was the ONLY one available to compare it was that or nothing 😂
was working with what i was provided with
Where is the dvd player in LCI??? I'm actually using it from time to time in the G30
Hate the front LCI headlights, remind me of Volkswagen/Audi headlamps. BMW is known for having dual round headlight/halo’s, they fucked up
disagree, they look great in person.... Especially on the M5 CS
The old one looks better
Can I change my old head and tail light and put the new updated ones? Hearing you say the shape is the same
hmmm interesting. Not too sure i believe the front bumper areas are a bit different shapes so it might not fit perfectly
@@Allcarnewsokay thanks
You can put the new taillights, saw a 2018 M5 with the new taillights like a month ago. It almost fooled me until I saw the front. You cannot change the headlights, not without changing the whole bumper at least.
What It is the meaning of lci?
Life Cycle impulse
@@Allcarnews many thanks
In my view it’s not fare comparison. Headlights are significant change, you should have picked the 2020 car with adaptive headlights. It seems like you are comparing with 6th generation car in terms of headlights.
was working with what i was provided with
both exterior designs look boring and lacks that wow factor. im sticking with my '15 m-sport.
dude...the pre-lci you have has no "line" at all! of course it looks cheaper...because the car was cheaper!🤦♂️
if you chose the "luxury line" or m-pakage with the LED instead of those xenon rings it would be a fair and better comparison.
yours is just badly equiped. I still prefer the old hexagon shaped LED headlights.
was working what i was provided with
Why the heck are the cars running when ur filming outside lmfao
the facelift makes it look more Japanese.. from the taillights to the rims. it looks very Asian.
They both sound the same
not in person, slight difference
i think the new jaguar xf looks better
upfront maybe not out back
No point, m sport and non m sport, incomparable, M sport is waaaay come sporty than the non m sport
that’s not the point of the video.
Lame comparison. Not spec for spec. The biggest difference with the grill is that the new BMW grill meets in the middle.
unfortunately didn’t have a pre facelift with M sport package there to make the comparison. I am showing the key main changes for the facelift version.
@@Allcarnews fair enough.
Can you stop saying “Guys “ every sentence.
Make me.
Absolutely silly comparison dude, you're comparing apples with pears 👎
how is it silly 😂 I’m comparing a facelifted 5 series and pre facelift. I clearly stated these were different trims. They did not have a pre facelift 540i in M sport trim for me to compare. They have the same engine the only difference is the appearance 😂 Where is your comparison video huh?
@@Allcarnews It's a silly comparison simply due to the fact that you are comparing a new model featuring the M-Sport package with an old non M-sport model. Of course the new model will look sharper and excel in all disciplines...
@@cneuoqet sorry i don’t have unlimited access to every BMW, this was the only one available at the time
@@Allcarnews Well, then wait until you have access to comparable models 🤷♂️
