The high-level standard specification is bolstered with carefully curated pre-configured options and a choice of six exterior colours to underline its modern character. An illuminated BMW Iconic Glow kidney grille brings an immediately distinctive presence while the interior offers contemporary design with M-inspired sportiness.
