This is a global press release / announcement:

BMW X3 and BMW X4: extended standard equipment, new equipment lines, innovative options.

From April 2016 the standard equipment of the BMW X3 and
BMW X4 will also include multifunction buttons on the steering wheel, rain-sensing wipers and Cruise Control with Braking function. And new equipment lines will create additional scope for individualisation. The range of variants available as an alternative to standard specification will include the new Advantage model alongside the xLine and M Sport models. The Advantage model will include Park Distance Control (PDC) with sensors at the front and rear, two-zone automatic climate control, the storage package and, in the case of the BMW X3, also automatic tailgate operation (already part of standard equipment for the BMW X4 Sports Activity Coupe).

The Chestnut Bronze metallic shade will be introduced as a new exterior paint finish for the BMW X3 and BMW X4. And new variants will also be added to the selection of optional light-alloy wheels. New equipment options available for both models include telephony with wireless charging and the wi-fi hotspot function. Working together with the optional Navigation system Professional, the iDrive operating system now also offers innovative menu graphics for the Control Display in the BMW X3 and BMW X4, using tile symbols arranged side-by-side.

Thx for the info.

what is that : "the iDrive operating system now also offers innovative menu graphics for the Control Display in the BMW X3 and BMW X4, using tile symbols arranged side-by-side"

is there any pic available to show how the tile symbols arranged side by side looks like?

edit: will it looks like that just without the gesture control?

[Scandic24]

SANK_CH: You're probably right regarding the visual interface.

Hi Scandic24,

yes based on the article about this update for the 6 series posted yesterday:

"Another new feature benefits the iDrive operating system which, in BMW 6 Series models, includes a 10.2-inch Control Display and the Touch Controller with touch-sensitive surface. The main menu and the functions of the navigation, entertainment and communications systems, among others, will adopt the visual appearance presented for the first time in the new BMW 7 Series. Lists will be replaced by tile symbols arranged side-by-side to guide users to the desired functions."

it seems i was right.

[Scandic24]

Yup, I'm sure we'll see most of the features from the new 7-series in the X models in the coming years.
