I don't think you'll find many who hopped from a '17 to an '18. It's all cosmetic anyway.

LED cluster & taillight are the main change in 2018, hex open frame headlight as an option in 2018, if not then will be remain the same as 2017.
Console close to the passenger side also has a bit different in design. Harman Kardon, electronic seat, heated steering wheel already come in standard in my 18, not sure about 17 though. Oh... and the touchscreen functionality in 2018 |

The sunroof option became available in the U.S. 2018 LCI.
Although all of my 3-series had sunroofs, I really don't miss it. |

I use it alot just to let more light in, not always opening the glass. It's also great early evenings... Not that many differences between '17 and '18, especially if you don't care about a sunroof. |

No. I prefer the dash design of the '18 as well as the cluster and headlights. At first I wanted the pre-LCI tails, but when I saw the new ones in action with euro indicators, I was sold.

Agree about the dash design - a major improvement in my opinion (and totally unexpected). Tail lights are no better or worse to me (16/17 better if forced to choose ) but the LED headlights and new gauges are nice too. And don't forget the sliding cup holder cover!

The dashboard that wraps above and around the instrument cluster looks approximately a million times better than the previous iteration.
Also, and this is 100% fact, LCI drivers are 3x better looking than their 16/17 and M2C counterparts. |

It think you're referring to the thread above. It's a discussion on a missing door seal. I did it on my car, it helps when your on the Bluetooth.. People hear less background noise.. |
