Inside, the car is equipped with Curved Display with 14.9-inch touchscreen, 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, sports seats, and BMW Operating System 8.5 that supports video streaming and AirConsole gaming. Customers will also have a wide range of options, including a glass panoramic roof, BMW Individual Merino leather, Bowers & Wilkins premium sound system with 18 speakers, as well as the BMW Interaction Bar. The M Performance package brings aluminum sill plates, new door projectors, M Performance floor mats with contrasting thread and stainless steel pedals. Owners can also order a special key case made of leather and Alcantara, as well as a carbon fuel tank cover.
