What's changing for the MY2018 M3?

I have been reading that the biggest change for 2018 on the M3 will be to match the headlights to the M4, right? Am I missing anything?

Hoping to learn more from the Geneva Auto Show this week but I haven't seen/heard anything else...

You're correct the biggest change will be the worse looking headlights.

lol

I am contemplating waiting for a 2018 if it is worth the wait. Headlights probably aren't worth it. Otherwise, there's 2 MY 2017s within a couple hundred miles of me that match what I want....

Ugh, the iDrive is the only thing that sticks out really.

I like the full halos better, but the updated headlights look cleaner.

Looks like the eyebrows are blinkers only for the update, can someone confirm?

Thanks. Any pictures of the black ///M logos on the seats?

Also, what does iDrive 6.0 mean tech wise? Previous M3s have 5.0, is that correct?

They are the same ones used by the LCI 4 Series and M4:

Just a different more streamlined layout like the BMW 7 series minus the gesture commands. Some people say it looks like you're looking at a tablet

Based on my reading here, the iDrive 6.0 is just a different skin on the current version of iDrive. Those who care to do so, can easily code the navigation system to use the iDrive 6.0 skin.

Wait so, you have to pay an optional price for what is standard on the LCI 4 series? Or is LED not standard on that?

The 4-series are getting the Bi-LED as standard replacing the xenon. The "new look" full LED will also be an option on the 4-series.

How options are packaged or which ones are included as "standard" varies from country to country.

The backup camera is not changing per se, it is just now included as part of "base" package in some countries.
