Don't you have to change the ignition and code everything up with that button change Raf?

ehh...
Am I missing something here?
the button is identical, but the LCI has this cheap plastic surround as opposed to the nice metal one for the older cars...

the diffrence is subtle which makes all the difference in my book!

SteveF1 · 01-22-2011, 11:03 AM

I prefer the pre lci if I'm honest

NickP · 01-22-2011, 11:24 AM

Definitely

I may be a little biased though

willhollin · 01-22-2011, 12:21 PM

I prefer mine.

Btw BMW kindly tells us in the brochures for both pre and post lci, that the button allows you to START or STOP the engine. Complete with pic.

I think it would be nice to have the button on the right.
