I don't think an LCI will fix the "bones" of this car, because it would then be a completely new car with new tooling, etc. The Hofmeister kink is gone, LCI won't fix that. The interior is too geometric and simple (nice finishes though), LCI won't fix that. The waterfall interior of the 6 series was classic and timeless.

The fundamental design is generic and trendy. The vents are too much and very "ricer". Unfortunately, this is the direction BMW and other manufacturers are going. They have Millennials and soon, Gen Z designers. They are into these trendy, homogeneous designs. My next car will probably be another 6 series (4th one). I'm so lucky to have a 6-spd manual F12. There will never be a car like that again. How sad.
