The E61 LCI featured subtle exterior updates like new headlight clusters and a redesigned front bumper. Inside, it received new trims and a redesigned center console. Technologically, the LCI models were equipped with an updated iDrive system that was easier to use. The E61 LCI also improved practicality with a more accessible transmission tunnel and split-folding rear seats, increasing luggage space from 500 liters to 1,650 liters. These enhancements, along with BMW's commitment to safety and comfort, made the E61 LCI a more refined family and executive car.
