  • BMW Touch Command, a removable tablet, took over from the F01's rear-seat controller.[2]
  • The 12.3-inch digital cluster (1920 x 720) was standard and drew the fuel and temperature gauges as well as speed and revs.[2][3]
  • The controller gained seven direct-access buttons and a touch panel, and the main menu switched from lists to graphic tiles.[2]
  • The facelift was unveiled on 16 January 2019 and went on sale in April 2019 with iDrive 7.0, a 12.3-inch instrument cluster and a 10.25-inch infotainment screen.[1]
