I suspect the OP has a bit of brand beef and the next crack will be about indicators..... No at all. Far from it, in actual fact I'm a previous owner of 2002's, E21's, E30, E32, E34 and an E46. Of course they were non LC 'Impulse' cars as LCI and 'Ultimate Pack' versions didn't exist. It seems, most here have missed the point of my thread and my comment about marketing and the nomenclature used. |

But ‘LCI’ versions of, for example, the E46 exist, they facelifted the model mid lifetime, and weather the term facelift or LCI or whatever is used, it still happened  |

Yes they did facelift all the models I mentioned , every manufacturer does, not just BMW. My point for the second time is BMW use names like LC Impulse (ffs) and Ultimate. That's all. No more to it than that. |

My M3 is a very early LCI with my E36 323i being an LCI, albeit a late production car being a '97 My dad had one of the very last 325tds SEs that wasn't one. That was about the first big mileage car we owned. LCI I suspect was always around, albeit an internal acronym. With the internet, it became more well known, as it always does. BMW themselves won't call them an LCI at the dealer. Ultimate/Black edition yes. Every car has its nuances. |

No more to it than that. LCI, facelift, phase 2, every manufacturer has a name for it. BMW just decided to come up with something That’s super Capitalist tosh to make it sound well fancy. That, I totally understand. It is a guff name for something so mediocre. |

I own a Mitsubishi Delica Spacegear Super Exceed 2800 Turbo Diesel Intercooler from 1994 so I can't say owt about stupid names. There was an old boy at work years ago with a J import 4x4 day van (I forget what). It had a sticker on the side that said something like "Full time hardcore comfort AWD traction system for all serious outdoor leisure off road players" I thought the van was horrid but the graphics were amazing. |

Commonplace to have English jibberish On Japanese cars, especially ‘lifestyle’ vehicles as they perceive western language exotic in the same way some see having Chinese symbols for stuff like ‘soup’ or ‘shoes’ as a tattoo is exotic. For example, this wonderful sunstrip a friend had on an import Subaru:  |

Basically, Mercedes used a biodegreable harness for a few years. With age and heat, the insulation broke down and shorted the components out. What's the name of your firm? It's good to know who can repair these. At least there are other choices besides Mercedes now. That´s why my boss, Norman Kurth of Kurth Classics decided to use silicone cables for his replacement harnesses. Funny thing is, when people insist on 100% original mercedes quality and buy one "new" harness at their local MB dealer it can mean the harness is equally old as the car, only hasn´t faced the high temperatures under the bonnet yet. But the quality is equally bad and the problems will soon return. That´s why a lot of mercedes dealers and garages buy our stuff, even Daimler AG in Stuttgart or Brabus, to name a few. The most exotic car featuring one of our cables was this recently: Mercedes G-Wagen Intruder Concept by HeuliezBtw. we mainly do mercedes harnesses, but also foreign brands on request, like Ford, Opel or Jaguar. If you can provide a sample, speak (or write) to Norman, he is always ready to help. |
