Along with X4699, this unit got an extensive refurbishment in 1990, with new cabs, RRR/Z2-style interiors, and a red-white livery. The Ain Departmental Council (CG-01) paid the bill, with a view to improving TER services on Lyons-Bourg en Bresse.
In 2003, both units went through a light overhaul, with the silver-grey TER livery and a X73500-style ambiance applied to interiors of 1990.
