BMW has also unveiled a substantial design modification regarding the interior of the 2023 BMW iX3. The all-electric Sports Activity Vehicle of the premium mid-size class will be equipped with a redesigned gear selector on the center console from January 2023. This means that a control element in the new, reduced interior design from BMW is also available in this model selecting gears.

With the latest update, the range of functions of the My BMW app has been expanded to provide additional usage options. The app now includes a first-mile function that shows customers the route to their vehicle on their smartphone. In the future, they will also be able to search for contacts stored on their smartphone in the My BMW app, call up ratings and pictures for so-called points of interest and pay parking fees at a variety of locations. From autumn 2022, the My BMW app will provide users of models with electrified drive systems with specific information in the event of charging irregularities. In the future, all functions specially designed for electric mobility can be found more easily via an entry point in the vehicle menu area.

The new "My Trips" function provides the customer with trip data in the My BMW app. For example, information on the distance traveled, average speed, fuel consumption, and CO2 emissions are listed. Drivers of models with electrified drive systems are also informed about the proportion of the route they have driven electrically.

The user interface for the vehicle menu area has also been updated. If the vehicle's air conditioning is activated using the My BMW app, this can be seen on the picture of the vehicle. Information about customer support can be found in the Profile menu area under "Contact us".
