The midlife update for both BMW models include redesigned bumpers, sharper-looking LED headlamps and tail lamps, and new alloy wheels. All this adds up to a sportier look, especially to the sleeker X4 SUV coupe. And while the grille on both models receive a mild redesign, BMW has thankfully refrained implementing oversized grilles, giving the SUVs frontend a clean and pleasing look.

On the inside, BMW has overhauled the facelifted X3 and X4’s cabin by providing them with the same dashboard as the 4 Series. While the layout might be familiar, the redesigned climate control knobs and AC vents give the dashboard a minimalist look. Also, the central console has been redesigned and features a new gear lever.
