Side turn signals
I noticed for the first time today another 6 GC with the front fender chrome mouldings without a side turn signal and it looked quite bland.
When did they change this? |

I agree with you, I like the indicator in the chrome fillets. but I prefer my new fully adaptive headlights and the refreshed front of the LCI. the updated digital sat nav screen is also a little nicer in the LCI however that was about it really for the LCI updates. Cheers JBF |

See pic of my car it’s a June 2015 LCI. Note the indicators in the mirrors, new headlight treatment and one less vane in the kidneys.... JBF |

The LCI for the F06 (Gran Coupe) in the US began with Model Year 2016, I believe. Things like the headlights changed (adaptive LED with turn signal along the top), side mirrors (turn signals), hood design, glossy navigation screen, touch iDrive controller, grilles, revised front/rear bumpers, LED fog lights, and a variety of other things.
Small changes continued thereafter, such as OTA map updates in 2017, certain ConnectedDrive features, etc.

There is one other LCI change that goes mostly unnoticed. The black surround piece for the climate controls and CD slot is shiny black starting in 2016. In 2015 and earlier it has an odd-looking dullness that almost looks as if it has been wiped with an inappropriate chemical.

also the gran coupe logo on the rear door is shiny black instead of a textured backround but honestly who cares bmw should have never touched something so perfect.. I highly prefer my 2015 adaptive led lights and the turn signal on the fender..
and as for the rest i already updated the idrive display and added carplay anyways... edit and i complained to my purchasing dealer about the ac panel being worn and dull they replaced it with a shiny new one |

Thanks for the pictures and all of the interesting responses.
I never noticed the dullness of the radio/climate control surround until it was just mentioned here. Would I be able to replace the dull one in my car with the shinier black surround? |

.. I checked an older car 2013 I know of and yes prior to LCI it’s like a dull finish like it’s been wiped with an oily rag... |

I don't think it's a separate part, so best to source a flawless control panel off eBay and swap it.
