BMW i5 given more range and BMW X3 gets a new diesel in 2025 updates roll-out


The updated i5s also get interior ambient lighting as standard across the range, lumbar support for both front seats, Harman Kardon audio, improved trim for the door switches and the option of BMW Individual black and dark violet merino leather trim.

Elsewhere in the BMW line-up, the 2 Series Gran Coupé hasn’t even hit the road yet, and already the firm has announced two new engine variants. While the 120bhp 1.5-litre petrol 216 Gran Coupé won’t be coming to the UK, the other, a 215bhp, four-cylinder 223 xDrive Gran Coupé, will be. This one manages 0-62mph in 6.4 seconds, and up to 44.8mpg.

Other key changes in BMW’s 2025 line-up include an improved AC charging rate for the brand’s plug-in hybrid models, leaping from 7.4kW to 11kW. Digital Key Plus, the company’s smartphone key app, will now be standard on the iX electric SUV, while owners with a BMW running on the brand’s operating system 9 (such as the latest 1 Series) will find Youtube has become available in their infotainment systems.

From March, several BMW models will get a new Tyre Repair Kit Plus, an update to the old can-of-gunk method, while the X5, X6, and M5 all receive new equipment (the M5’s including new Individual leather options). In addition, the 2 Series Active Tourer and X1 will be adorned with a new alloy wheel option.
