2018 Z4 G29 ...3 years any sign of LCI?

JustChris · 03-17-2021, 04:31 PM

As per title just curious, thought these might have appeared by now with Cammo etc?

Or is there no LCI?

Geradeaus · 03-18-2021, 06:24 PM

It will be interesting to see if BMW modifies the car as time marches on. The car has already been given a death date a few years hence. Maybe a full M-version for the 2024 final year?

The designers have already said in a video that the current body design isn't meant for having more power than it already has. Ergo, no M version. I don't even see a need for LCI.

Gather from what we already know about 2-seat roadsters, I too wondering if BMW is going to bother doing LCI for G29 at all.

Mercedes SLC is dead.

Audi already announced that they have stopped new development on new petrol engines.

Let's keep fingers crossed

i dont think it will happen that fast
all the reason is about money.
z4 g29 wont even exist without the cooperation with toyota

The car has only been out for about 2 years. Isn't that too early for a LCI?

BigWagonFan · 03-26-2021, 05:04 AM

Do you know if options like
* Driving Assistant Professional
* Laser Light
may somehow appear as available options before LCI?

DPelletier · 03-26-2021, 10:49 AM

1) the car design is/was leading edge on it's release 2 years ago.

2) with competition in the luxury/premium 2 seat roadster market falling like flies, it isn't like they need to refresh to compete.

Personally, I don't think there are the sales numbers or the competition to justify a refresh this early on......if ever.

2 cents,
Dave

Don't know, but BMW has made slight improvements to the options/tech over the last 2 years.

BMW always doing constant tech updates to the components internally. So, I have no doubt that as years go by, little design bugs are taken out gradually.

Seeing the other models(competitors) are still base on older design, I guess LCI is still a few years down.

Pinkoboe · 03-29-2021, 06:37 PM

One other datapoint here is that the facelift on the previous generation (E89) comprised new headlights and a new piece of chrome on the side markers. That was it.

If the G29 does get an LCI, it will be something like this or probably even more mild.

LCI SOP in 11/22 - if you trust the information posted in the general news forum.

Probably minor changes to lights and paint colors, possibly wheels.

This is the last ICE BMW Roadster...

Get one while you can!

I think it's safe to assume the Z4 days are numbered. If it's not low sales, it will be part shortages or something else.

Many thanks, I thought it had perhaps seen it referenced somewhere. Still a way off too, seem my thoughts of 2018 release for the G29 were premature, it was revealed but saw was from 2019.

BMW committed to a full 7 years of serial production for the G29 Z4 and its selling very well in Europe. They have a contract with Magna Styer to build it over its life. Will they kill it after that is over? Who knows but I bet we see an LCI for MY22 with minor changes.
