Yahoo Autos BMW updates 4 Series interior, adds crystal lights to X7
BMW just released a news brief with a host of updates for its lineup coming in spring this year. They range from an interior tech refresh for the 4 Series lineup to some extra shiny exterior lights on the big X7.
Starting with the 4 Series and M4, BMW says that in March 2023, these models will be offered with its “Curved Display” running iDrive 8. This necessitates a total change of the center stack and means it will now resemble the refreshed 2023 BMW 3 Series. The new screen layout consists of a 14.9-inch center infotainment display and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster — it will be the standard and only option. Other changes to the 4 Series at this time include making the Shadowline window trim standard and the addition of Aluminum Rhombicle to the interior trim options. Specific to the M4, the instrument panel will be newly available in Sensatec, and a new M design graphic will be optional for the hood and trunk lid.
The BMW X7 is adding a crystal headlight option to its list of available extras. The crystal headlights — initially revealed in the electric BMW i7 (pictured below) and formally called Iconic Glow — consist of Swarovski crystals positioned in the upper section of the lights that are then backlit by LEDs. They have a rather distinctive and intriguing appearance both under direct sun and at night when lit by the LEDs.
