The central console gets a revised panel with a smaller toggle switch replacing the previous chunky gear shifter, further tidying up the design, and BMW hasn’t skimped on the quality, either. The iconic three-colour M Sport stripes have been hand-stitched into the dash top, and those new air vents are milled from a single piece of solid aluminium.

One of the biggest perks of electric vehicles (EVs) is that they’re low-maintenance. They have far fewer parts than traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, which means less things break down, they don’t need oil changes, and the electric motors and battery packs are relatively maintenance-free.
