PreLCI and LCI (looking to buy)

Hi Guys,
Know the models might not be the same and what's available in the US,
but majorly I would like to know what are the differences between the pre lci and lci f01 (besides head lamps, tail lights and exterior features)

I am considering to purchase 740li old stock sell as new (2012)
or a 740li (2014) the 2012 cost 70% from the 2014 models, while I honestly did not try to find looks for this car, mainly the comfort and usage.

Thanks Guys,
aprpecitate it.

Don't even consider the 2012. The 6 cylinder with the 6 speed is a total slug. You need the 8 speed transmission in the LCI to make the 6 cylinder a valid option in the 7 series. If you're considering pre-LCIs, its gotta be a 750 with the V8.

The 8 speed was introduced in 2013 with the LCI models. No idea what the 730 is. Is that a diesel, or has BMW lost their minds and done a 4 cylinder 7 series?

EDIT: Found it. 730i has the 3.0L I6 without the turbo, N52N, with 190kW.

Yes,
because eliminating 730 from the line up would hurt BMW Indo's sales..
I see brother..

pulled the trigger today, gave down deposit, the car is on its way from the capital to the dealership, will be able to see it on saturday maybe..


Thank You,
