BMW AG will expand its use of touchscreen infotainment systems, which debuted recently on the company’s flagship 7 Series sedan, to its X5 and X6 crossover/SUV models later this year, according to BMW Blog.
The enthusiast Web site, which doesn’t cite its sources, says the high-performance M variants of the two models also are expected to add touchscreens in the near future.
