BMW design
First up, a new colour announcement: Cape York Green. It's bold, earthy, and will be available on all 2 Series Gran Coupé models with the M Sport design or package.
Lighting is also getting an upgrade. Adaptive LED headlights, once locked behind the M Sport Pro package, but can now be added on their own for models like the 420i, 420d, and 420d xDrive.
The updated lights are also coming to the 4 Series Gran Coupé and BMW i4, improving night visibility and giving the front end a sharper edge.

BMW interior
In the BMW X3, interior materials are getting a tidy upgrade. If you go for either Veganza (BMW’s high-end vegan leather) or Merino leather, the rear headrests and side bolsters are now colour-matched to the rest of the seats - a small detail, but one that subtly boosts that premium feel.
There’s also a new feature rolling out across all 5 Series, i5, and M5 Sedan and Touring models: a built-in coat hook on the B-pillar, handy!
