LCI - Life Cycle Impulse... (facelift during the current model)
LBM - ??

I don't think LBM is common in BMW circles, but could it be Le Mans Blue Metallic?

LCI stands for life cycle impulse, which is indeed the facelifted models of the 3 series.

For the E90/E91, that's from 2009 onwards, E92/E93 from 2010 onwards.

LBM is LeMans Blue Metallic, a colour offered on BMW models.

Just curious... Did I cause this confusion by using LMB in another thread?
