Leather-free interior, seat surfaces and instrument panel made from recycled materials
The new BMW X3 comes with a fully leather-free interior as standard, encompassing the surfaces of the seats, instrument panel and door panels. The seats are covered as standard in the new Econeer upholstery made from recyclable secondary material.
The fabric features a texture of varying fineness on the centre section and other areas of the seats. A bi-colour design with lighter surfaces in the shoulder area and on the head restraints, an imprinted striped effect, and contrast stitching and piping in accent colours also help to bring the seat surfaces to life.
There is also the option of perforated Veganza seat upholstery with properties similar to leather, contrast stitching and decorative quilting in the colours Black, Calm Beige and Espresso Brown.
Veganza/Alcantara upholstery in Black is included as part of the M Sport package and as standard on the BMW X3 M50 xDrive. BMW Individual Merino leather upholstery is also available as an option in the colours Black and Amber, both with Atlas Grey accents.
The new BMW X3 is also the first model from the brand that can be optionally equipped with an instrument panel whose surface is made from recycled polyester.
Transformed into a high-class knitted texture, the recycled material used for the optional Luxury instrument panel together with the modern surface geometry creates a progressive look and a homely atmosphere inside the new BMW X3.
The trim finisher in the centre console area comes in a Dark Graphite finish as standard. The Fine Brushed Aluminium variant can be specified as an option (as part of the M Sport package), as can BMW Individual Magnolia fine-wood trim with fine print.
