I'd jump at the chance if I were you, but I may be a bit biased towards that exact car.

That does sound promising, if he's seriously considering selling it I'd definitely be interested.

Then... was one even made in the color combo you want? Who knows. They're out there... but you have to be extremely patient depending on exactly what you're looking for.
I think the headlights and side turn signals are a nice look and help the car look more current against newer models.
What was the change with the taillights? I've heard there was one, but could never appreciate a difference.
Roof was reportedly enhanced before the LCI, I think in March 2012? But, a top guru on this forum has insisted on a number of occasions that there is no significant difference before and after the upgrade.
I'm not really aware of any other improvements that came with the LCI. I know the dash surrounding the iDrive screen and air vents went from a matte surface to a glossy surface. Maybe that's important to some people?
You can always find exactly what you want in a Pre-LCI car and retrofit the headlights and turn signal markers, if you feel compelled to.

Gotcha, I didn't realize they stopped producing the manual after 2014. That makes the decision pretty easy for me then, LCI isn't a priority. Thanks!
