BMW model updates, summer 2025. – AutoMart Canada

Munich. Summer 2025 is set to bring innovations in
electric drive technology and digitalisation as well as new standard
and optional equipment features that will make the current BMW model
range even more attractive. New power electronics in the all-electric
BMW i4 result in even greater efficiency and increased range. The most
powerful BMW i4 will also debut at the same time. Numerous BMW models
will come as standard with Comfort Access and the BMW Digital Key,
which has now become even easier to set up.

From summer 2025, the BMW X1 and BMW X2 will be available with new
exterior and interior options. The BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant
now offers an alternative voice.

 

BMW i4: reduced consumption, new range-topper with extra power.

From July 2025, the BMW i4 eDrive35 as well as the BMW i4
eDrive40 will come with silicon carbide semiconductor components in
the power electronics (SiC inverter), which reduce consumption by
around 4.5 per cent while adding up to 22 kilometres of range
(depending on the model and equipment installed as part of an
individual vehicle configuration).

From July 2025, the new range topper for the all-electric BMW i4
comes in the shape of the BMW i4 M60 xDrive. Compared to the
predecessor, it provides an additional 42 kW/57 hp of power, for a
system output of 442 kW/601 hp. The new BMW i4 M60 xDrive takes 3.7
seconds for the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h. 

 

BMW Digital Key: smartphone used as key enables many
additional functions.

The BMW Digital Key will soon become the tool of choice to unlock and
lock many BMW models, courtesy of a simplified set-up process. The BMW
iX was the first to be updated in March 2025, and many model series
will follow from July 2025: the BMW X1, BMW X2, BMW 5 Series Sedan,
BMW M5, BMW M5 Touring and BMW 7 Series. The BMW X5, BMW X5 M, BMW X6,
BMW X6 M, BMW X7 and BMW XM models will follow from August 2025. The
BMW X3 will come with the new set-up process in the US from August
2025 and in South Africa from September 2025.

The feature will then include a physical key, a Setup Card and a
Service Card. The new Setup Card makes it easier than ever to set up
the BMW Digital Key on smartphones from all major manufacturers by
simply holding the card to the mobile phone or scanning the QR code on
the back. The next step takes the user straight into the My BMW app.
After authorisation via the Setup Card, the BMW ID is linked to the
vehicle and the BMW Digital Key is then activated. After activation,
the customer can easily share the Digital Key with other people by
sending them a text message. Activation is possible on up to 18
devices. Owners can define various roles and permissions for each
vehicle user. A particularly useful function ideal for novice drivers
is limiting acceleration and top speed, for example. If a physical key
does need to be handed over, for example in the workshop or in the
event of a breakdown, the new Service Card can be used. This should
always be carried deactivated so it can be activated as a
fully-fledged key when needed, via a click on the central display.

 

For all eventualities: tyre repair kit and tyre repair kit Plus.

From summer 2025, the tyre repair kit will come as standard for
various BMW models. These include the BMW 2 Series Coupé, BMW 3 Series
Sedan, BMW 3 Series Touring, BMW 4 Series Coupé and the BMW 4 Series
Convertible. The optional tyre repair kit Plus is available for the
BMW X3.

 

Individual paintwork finishes at a glance, in the BMW Configurator.

Customers appreciate the BMW Individual paintwork colours as a way to
add a personal touch to their new BMW. Special paintwork finishes
which previously required looking up in the BMW Individual Visualiser
can be selected within the BMW Configurator. With just a few
exceptions, this applies to all BMW models.

 

BMW BEV models: free extended warranty for high-voltage batteries.

Since 1 April 2025, BMW has offered a global complimentary extended
warranty for the high-voltage batteries in all-electric BMW models.
The new warranty applies up to a vehicle age of eight years or a
maximum mileage of 160,000 kilometres, whichever comes first. Should a
high-voltage battery’s capacity drop below 70 per cent during the
warranty period, BMW will remedy this loss of capacity at no extra
cost to the customer. This applies to all new and used all-electric
BMW models from 1 April 2025.

 

New colours for BMW X1 and BMW X2.

Summer 2025 will bring new exterior and interior options for the BMW
X1 and BMW X2. New paintwork colours include Vegas Red metallic, Night
Dusk Blue and Dune Grey metallic for the BMW X2. All three colours are
also available for the BMW X1, along with BMW Individual Frozen
Portimao Blue metallic. Veganza perforated upholstery in the colours
Castanea, Smoke White and Atlas Grey/Smoke White is newly available
for customising the interior of the BMW X2. The Castanea and Smoke
White colourways are available for the BMW X1. The Econeer Bicolour
Blue upholstery can be ordered from summer 2025 in combination with
front sport seats only. Another new option is the Brushed Aluminium
Shadow interior trim.

 

More comprehensive equipment for BMW 7 Series, BMW X3 and BMW iX.

The BMW 7 Series and BMW i7 now feature laminated safety glass with
contrast print as standard. From summer 2025, comfort glazing, sun
protection glazing and the Heat Comfort package will also be available
as individual options for the first time, enabling even more specific customisation.

A new equipment option for the BMW X3 is the attractive M door sill
trim. It can be ordered for the M Sport package, M Sport package Pro
and the BMW X3 M50 xDrive.

BMW Individual Frozen Pure Grey metallic is a new paintwork finish
with a particularly distinctive character, available as an option for
the BMW iX from summer 2025.

 

Ultimate Package for BMW X5 M Competition and BMW X6 M Competition.

The BMW X5 M Competition and the BMW X6 M Competition now benefit
from the optional Ultimate Package. In addition to the M Carbon engine
cover, this also includes M Carbon mirror caps, the Sky Lounge
panoramic glass sunroof, active seat ventilation as well as the
massage function at the front and the Comfort Package. The Bowers
& Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System ensures exceptional sound
quality. The M Driver’s Package included as part of the package
increases top speed to 290 km/h. In the BMW X6 M Competition, this is
complemented by an exclusive M Carbon rear spoiler.

 

Comprehensively upgraded BMW iDrive.

Among the numerous innovations in the area of digital services is the
upgraded BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant in BMW Operating System 9.  

In the BMW X3, customers in many countries* can now link their own
Amazon Alexa account to the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant. This
enables them to use intuitive voice control to enjoy music via the
“Hey BMW” command – courtesy of Alexa running in the background, just
like at home. In addition, a second voice is now available for the
assistant.** Further improvements in language understanding and faster
processing speeds contribute to a more harmonious overall experience.

From summer 2025, BMW Digital Premium with BMW Operating System 9
will, subject to country-specific availability, enable customers to
use the Zoom app on their Curved Display for videoconferencing when
the vehicle is stationary. To avoid distractions, the app
automatically deactivates the video while driving.

Parking Assistant Plus upgrade.

From July 2025, the functions of the Parking Assistant Plus will be
enhanced for many BMW models. It will now also use marker lines around
parking spots to help identify available spaces and ensure parking
precision. Previously, this feature was only available as part of the
Parking Assistant Professional.

 

BMW Maps user interface upgrades in BMW Operating System 8.5.

BMW Maps offers intuitive destination entry and intelligent route
guidance and will come with further user interface improvements from
summer 2025. For faster access to frequently used functions, the home
screen of the control display will feature direct touch buttons for
“Home” and “Work” in the BMW Maps QuickSelect Widget, for example.
