What does LCI mean?

Sorry to be dense but what does the LCI stand for that you guys are talking about. Is that a reference to the 2014 model? Or something with the lighting package? Thanks

"Life Cycle Impulse" - BMW's name for a series of usually minor updates applied to a vehicle in a new model year, and sometimes during a model year. BMW made some LCI updates to the '14 MY cars.

That would be subject to interpretation!

Change does not always equal improvement unfortunately!

Agree with you completely from our point of view.

What BMW thinks is an entirely different story! They never do anything wrong, correct? At least that's what they've always told us. Isn't the Kool-Aid yummy!
