As the winter testing program for the upcoming BMW 7 Series Facelift continues, spy photographers have spotted a prototype showing a new iDrive system inside the car. The iDrive concept will remain the same and the touchpad surface placed on top of iDrive knob is the new addition to the system. The touchpad is similar to the Audi system and will allow the driver and passenger to easily enter numbers and characters through gestures without looking at the system. Redesigned full LED headlights are also an added feature, together with signal indications integrated into the side mirrors.
