Is that an X3 facelift being tested??

That is..... quick.

It is still be a pre-facelift test vehicle.

It is still be a pre-facelift test vehicle.

Maybe they're testing the interior upgrades it's supposed to be getting?

Maybe they're testing the interior upgrades it's supposed to be getting?

Maybe some sort of Panoramic iDrive display that is being carried over from the NA5, and then it is being inserted into the G45 prototype.

 

[klier]

Yeah that could well be the case

Out of the current CLAR-WE based vehicles: I20, G45, G6X, G7X and G9X. I think the G45 dashboard has been designed to accommodate and support the Panoramic iDrive display from the beginning, which might be more noticeable when the facelift model arrives. But, due to being developed during the COVID-19 era and, most importantly, before, the Neue Klasse philosophy has become the main priority for BMW. The interior of this G45 generation is unfortunately becoming an obvious cost-cutting exercise, and as well as being the last-of-a-kind G coded Bimmer with the goofy aesthetic that we see to day, before moving forward to the next phase of design language. For instance, the latest NA5, followed by the NA0, ZA0, G50 and so on.

While the newer CLAR-WE based products like the G50, G65, G67 and G84 are being developed with the Panoramic iDrive displays in BMW's mind since day one. So, they are not being retrofitted like the revised G6X, G7X and G9X.

Or the X3M

 

[Esp5]

Or the X3M

Not with those little wheels, I'm more inclined towards the long process of incorporating the new panoramic drive interior for the still very distant FL.

 

[klier]

Or the X3M

I believe we're not getting that, only iX3 M

 

[Matski]

There's plenty of fully camo'd examples of in production vehicles running around Munich most of the time. It could very easily not be anything of note.

 

[Big Sam]

I believe we're not getting that, only iX3 M

Which will be badged "X3 M", apparently.
