BMW Announces Tech Updates, Australian Details To Be Confirmed

BMW has announced a host of upgrades to various models that will be introduced during the European summer.

Major upgrades include ECO PRO Mode, BMW ConnectedDrive improvements, optional eight-speed sports-automatic transmissions with launch control, and greater availability of the xDrive four wheel drive system on 1 Series and 3 Series.

Almost all of BMW's European petrol powered models will soon comply with new Euro VI exhaust emissions standards, well before the September 2014 deadline in Europe and the mid-2017 deadline in Australia.
