BMW Apps.
Introducing a new way to stay in touch. With the BMW Apps you can bring Facebook, Twitter, your calendar, or even your favourite web radio station into your car on the iDrive screen. Your Control Display can show the latest status updates from your Facebook or Twitter account, as well as upcoming events, while the car’s audio system can read them out using the text-to-speech function. Get ready for the next generation of mobile communication and entertainment - with your iPhone and BMW ConnectedDrive.
Google MyInfo.
Use Google Maps to send points-of-interest information directly to your BMW using your e-mail address and BMW Assist account. Find restaurants, friends’ homes, or even the location of your next meeting. With Google Maps, you can send any destination to your vehicle from your computer, and then accept the information into the Navigation System once in your car. You can even call your destination using Bluetooth integration by selecting the displayed telephone number.
Night Vision.
Your command of the road doesn’t end when the sun sets. BMW Night Vision is our exclusive infrared technology that allows you to see through the dark, up to a class-leading 300 metres ahead. Objects, animals, and pedestrians are instantly distinguished, leading you to safer nighttime driving.
USB Audio Integration.
Get in and play on. The USB audio interface lets you connect MP3 players, Apple iPods, USB sticks, and mobile phones seamlessly with the BMW audio system. Navigate through the music you love with buttons on the steering wheel, iDrive, the radio buttons, or the very handy voice control. You can even display the album cover art for the artist currently playing.
Head-Up Display.
BMW’s full-colour Head-Up Display projects critical driving information, such as speed, directions, and alerts, directly in your field of vision, so distraction is minimized. This virtual image appears approximately two metres ahead of you, at the end of the hood, seamlessly integrating into whatever scenario your find yourself in. Your eyes and attention stay focused on the road, where they rightfully belong.
