Just so, what does LCI stand for on a BMW?

Likewise, what is the difference between pre LCI and LCI? Re: How to tell the difference between Pre LCI and LCI Mirrors are smaller on the Pre-LCI, Rear lights are different on on Pre-LCI (Indicator is larger). Bumpers on ES are different on Pre-LCI. I also believe the knobs to Climate Control are different on Pre-LCI too.
Similarly one may ask, how do I know if my BMW is LCI?
OP, if your coupe is model year 2007 to 2010, you have a pre-LCI. The differences are the tail lights, headlights, LED angel eyes vs. what you have, side mirrors (although the 2010 models already had these new side mirrors), front and rear bumpers, and sideskirts.
What does pre LCI mean?
LCI is the facelift that bmw did for the 09 cars. Being an 07 you have a pre lci. Some people have done certain upgrades to their pre lci cars to make them lci.
