BMW Motorrad dealerships are reportedly already accepting bookings for a token amount of ₹ 50,000. The bike maker has not revealed yet on what the changes will be on the BS6 G 310 twins. The motorcycles are expected to get a new LED headlight along with a redesigned cluster, a subtle redesign for the taillight and a new digital console that will come with smartphone connectivity via Bluetooth. Also expect to see new body graphics and paint options on the bikes. If BMW Motorrad does bring the changes with the BS6 models, India will be the first market to get the same.
