Overview
- All 2026 models adopt an electro‑hydraulic, variable‑ratio steering box and a roughly 5% tighter turning circle aimed at better on‑road precision.
- Test drives report improved lane changes and highway stability, though the wheel remains heavy at low speeds and lacks strong self‑centering.
- Updates add improved climate control and new driver assists, including lane‑keeping assistance and automatic emergency braking, with easier muting of alerts.
- A Black Edition debuts in Inky Black with dark exterior trim and gloss‑black 18‑inch wheels, with orders open for a limited production window.
- Powertrains carry over with BMW’s 3.0‑liter inline‑six (petrol rated at 282 hp), and pricing stays effectively unchanged in key markets, with U.S. models starting at $72,995 and Black Edition from $84,990; Forbes notes about 12,000 U.S. sales to date.
