Relaxed driving even in heavy traffic: Active Cruise Control with Stop&Go function keeps you at a constant distance from the vehicle ahead at all times. If the traffic comes to a halt, the system applies the brakes until the vehicle comes to a standstill and then automatically moves on as soon as the road is clear.
Active Cruise Control with Stop&Go function has primarily been developed for journeys on motorways and major roads. Three radar sensors with a range of up to 150 metres permanently scan the carriageway in the direction of travel. When you approach a vehicle in front, the engine management and brakes adjust your speed so that the distance is automatically kept constant – and if necessary, the vehicle comes to a standstill.
When the lane ahead becomes clear or the vehicle in front speeds up, Active Cruise Control accelerates again until you reach your desired speed. To move off again after the vehicle has stopped, the driver has to give the command to accelerate manually, either by briefly pressing the accelerator or pressing a button. If the stop lasts from 1 to 3 seconds, the vehicle moves off automatically. Up to four cruising speeds can be pre-programmed and called up at the push of a button. The operating range extends from 30 to 180 km/h.
The distance to be maintained is calculated in seconds rather than metres, which means you have a sufficient time to react at any speed. The comfort-centred assistance system additionally offers a high level of safety. A tight curve is registered via the DSC data and the navigation system, and then the speed is adjusted accordingly.
On multilane carriageways, the system detects whether another vehicle is only driving on the adjacent lane. Furthermore, if you wish to resume full control of the vehicle at any time, all you have to do is briefly press the accelerator or brake in order to deactivate the system.
Active Cruise Control with Stop&Go function is not an autopilot. Consequently, if the vehicle ahead brakes harder than expected or if the system detects a critical situation, the driver receives acoustic and optical prompts to take action. Driving in heavy traffic thus becomes noticeably easier and tiring situations such as traffic jams become easier to master with greater concentration.

Active Protection is the preventive passenger protection system from BMW ConnectedDrive. If a critical driving situation arises, the front seat belts undergo reversible pretensioning while the electrically adjustable passenger seats at the front and rear are moved to an upright position, the side windows are closed together with the sunroof – if present. Such a situation may be all-out braking that you have initiated or strong signs of the vehicle understeering or oversteering. In certain emergency situations, your vehicle can be automatically brought to a standstill with maximum deceleration. This reduces the likelihood of a second collision or prevents one entirely. In addition, the Attentiveness assistant monitors your driving behaviour for any symptoms of fatigue. The system analyses your steering behaviour and reacts to any irregularities: by recommending you to take a break in the Control Display.

BMW ConnectedDrive represents the intelligent linking of vehicle, driver and outside world. It makes sure you’re always so connected, you’re free.
The interplay between the many and varied BMW ConnectedDrive Services & Apps and the intelligent Driver Assistance systems supports BMW drivers in every respect – be it for more comfort, entertainment during the journey or that reassuring feeling of safety on all routes.
BMW unites a unique range of equipment options under the term BMW ConnectedDrive and offers drivers an exceptional form of mobility. Or, to put it simply: more sheer driving pleasure.

Systematically sustainable means systemically connected. You can see the charging status and the electric range at any time from inside the vehicle. Use the eDrive services for navigation to reach your destination safely. In the navigation map, free charging stations are displayed, so that you can charge your BMW eDrive quickly and comfortably while you’re on the road.

Don’t lose sight of the important things: the BMW Head-Up Display projects relevant driving information directly into the driver’s line of sight. This allows drivers to process it up to 50 per cent faster and keep their attention where it belongs – on the road.
A projector located behind the instrument panel, which beams its image onto the windscreen, provides the technical basis for the BMW Head-Up Display. The result is a high-resolution, broad-format colour display that remains easy to read regardless of the lighting conditions.
A system of mirrors causes the projection to appear at a distance of roughly 2 metres above the tip of the bonnet. The advantage of this is that the driver’s eyes do not have to keep refocusing as they switch between the far and close-up ranges.
The full-colour BMW Head-Up Display in many new-generation BMW models offers drivers an even greater level of comfort. Several colours now make it even easier to distinguish between general information for the driver, such as speed limits and navigation instructions, and urgent warning signals. Important information such as “Pedestrian in the road” (in conjunction with the optional BMW Night Vision) is now even clearer and more easily recognisable – thus reducing the driver's reaction time. The iDrive Controller allows vertical and horizontal adjustment of the BMW Head-Up Display to obtain the optimum projection. With this extended image rotation, the BMW Head-Up Display thus offers individual setting options. The driver’s vision is thus directed towards the essentials at all times – the most important information and the road.
Apart from the vehicle speed, which is permanently on view, the BMW Head-Up Display can also show other content depending on the model and equipment. Examples include rpm, navigation instructions such as Guiding information with intersection zoom and Lane Guiding, Speed Limit Info and the status of the Active Cruise Control. Driver assistance warnings and the Check Control are also shown in the BMW Head-Up Display, e.g. pedestrian recognition from BMW Night Vision or the Collision Warning.
Drivers can configure the BMW Head-Up Display to their requirements using the iDrive Controller.

BMW i ConnectedDrive services for navigation offer you all the information to make electric driving easier and more convenient. At the centre of these services is the range assistant with dynamic range map, which takes account of key factors such as the charge level of the battery, your driving style, topography and also the current traffic conditions. If the assistant detects that one of these factors will prevent you from reaching your destination, it uses ECO ROUTE to recommend alternative routes that consume less power or switching to the efficient ECO PRO+ driving mode, or it shows you charging stations on the way to your destination.

With the BMW i Remote App you can receive detailed information about the current status of your BMW i at any time.
This includes, for example, range display, battery condition and charge level, service messages and also the vehicle location. The climate control of the passenger cell and the high-voltage battery can be activated before the journey via smartphone so that your BMW i is already set to the ideal temperature when you enter the vehicle and to ensure that the performance of the high-voltage battery is optimised. The BMW i Remote App also supports your route planning. Important goals, such as available charging stations can easily be sent to the vehicle before starting the journey.
In order to use the app in your BMW, download it from the App Store or GooglePlay™, connect your smartphone to your vehicle via the USB port or snap-in adapter and launch the app. Then straight away you’ll be able to experience the individual functions via the iDrive Controller and the display in your vehicle.
* The functions of the BMW i Remote App can also be operated via the smartwatches Samsung Gear S and Apple Watch.

Discover how tenths of a second and acceleration figures are all part of driving pleasure. The BMW M Laptimer app is a tool for analysing data on racing circuits, including the automatic calculation of lap times. To do this, the app records the precise BMW sensor data direct from every BMW with the BMW Apps* special equipment option.
Your driving style can be evaluated by an analysis of readings such as steering angle, acceleration pedal and the resulting g forces. This enables you to increase your precision and skill and thus improve your lap times.
The stored results can be posted as a snapshot on Facebook and Twitter. For an even greater sensation of motor racing, you can also exchange your recordings by e-mail with a friend and then compare them for each corner in turn.
In order to use the app in your BMW, download it from the App Store, connect your iPhone to your vehicle via the USB port or snap-in adapter and launch the app. Then straight away you’ll be able to experience the individual functions via the iDrive Controller and the display in your vehicle. The lap times will be analysed after the journey on your iPhone.

Best possible visibility for maximum safety at night: BMW Night Vision with Dynamic light spot detects pedestrians in the dark even from a long distance – and selectively illuminates them.
The system directs one of two separately controllable high-performance light spots onto any unlit pedestrians. The light very effectively warns drivers and pedestrians of a potentially hazardous situation. When the headlights are dipped, the lenses of the Dynamic light spot lamps are additionally illuminated as design elements.
An infrared camera films the area in front of the vehicle and warns the driver of people on the road. The system recognises objects shaped like human beings and shows them as yellow thermal images. This picture is simultaneously analysed by a control device and can be shown in the Control Display if desired.
BMW Night Vision with Dynamic light spot recognises people and determines their position and proximity. It takes the speed and steering angle into consideration to establish whether or not something poses a problem and, if there is one, shows a warning symbol in the instrument display or in the optional BMW Head-Up Display. In extremely dangerous situations a warning signal is sounded in addition to the optical warning and the car prepares to brake.
Depending on the surroundings, the system automatically recognises people from approximately 100 m away, but the driver can see them in the picture from even greater distances.

The browser apps available under BMW Online Applications support you in a wide variety of situations with useful hints and individual tips.
Take advantage of the Yelp recommendation portal, the filling station and pharmacy search as well as the petrol price search, country search, airport info, hotel search, webcams or iSki to make sure you always stay well-informed. Other services such as searches for post office branches and ATMs, Park info, registration number search, travel guide, pictures of your destination, share prices, cinema info, exchange rates, weather and rain radar as well as the Kicker app are also available in your vehicle.

Driver Profiles allow drivers to save and call up individual settings in the vehicle – from the height of the seat, the preferred driving programme to their favourite radio station.
BMW drivers can configure many of the driving, comfort and infotainment functions in their vehicle to suit their preferences. When the driver leaves the vehicle, the individual settings of the relevant control units are automatically saved in a profile file and assigned to the radio control key that was used. These settings are activated as soon as this key is used again. Three radio control keys can thus store three drivers’ profiles. This is a good idea when several people drive the same BMW, e.g. if it’s used as a company car. Alternatively, if only one remote control key is used, the different drivers’ profiles can also be accessed from the on-board computer via the Control Display (under Settings > Profiles). The profile can then be renamed, deleted or exported so it can be used in another BMW. This is done using a USB memory stick via the USB interface or by first saving the profile on the BMW Online Portal and then accessing it ffrom there.
Driver Profiles are a part of BMW ConnectedDrive, the intelligent linking of driver, vehicle and the outside world. They can be used to combine a wide range of settings: for radio stations, hi-fi system, navigation, functional bookmarks, seat, mirror, steering column, camera, light, central locking, Head-Up Display, air conditioning, language, Driver Assistance systems and driving dynamics. There are four profiles available for each vehicle.

The Driving Assistant equipment option combines the camera-based systems of Lane Departure Warning and Approach and Pedestrian Warning with City Brake Activation.
Lane Departure Warning detects lane markings and issues a warning by vibrating the steering wheel whenever there is a threat of leaving the lane unintentionally at speeds above approx. 70 km/h. If the indicator is activated, meaning that a change of lane is intended, no warning is given.
The Approach Warning with City Brake Activation detects vehicles, while the Pedestrian Warning with City Brake Activation reacts to people. When Collision Warning is activated and a vehicle ahead brakes sharply, the BMW reacts immediately. Reactions are introduced step by step, starting with the display of a warning symbol, which then flashes with an acoustic signal, until finally, up to speeds of 60 km/h, the brakes are gently applied. In the case of the Pedestrian Warning, which functions between 10 and 60 km/h, there is a single-stage warning of acute danger. When the system warns that there is a threat of collision, the brakes are simultaneously preconditioned for a faster response. In the event of an emergency, the system initiates a braking manoeuvre. The function of the system may be restricted in dark and misty conditions.

The Driving Assistant Plus equipment option not only contains systems of the Driving Assistant option, namely the Lane Departure Warning together with Approach and Pedestrian Warning with City Brake Activation, but also Active Cruise Control with Stop&Go Function as well as the Traffic jam assistant.

The ECO PRO Analyser is part of the free BMW Connected app. It evaluates driving style and how efficiently the driver accelerates, brakes and changes gear. This can help to extend the range of the vehicle. Useful ECO tips additionally help to achieve an even more efficient driving style.

Enjoy greater safety and comfort when driving at night: the High-Beam Assistant detects other road users in good time and dips the headlights automatically, then returns to full beam when traffic conditions permit.
A camera integrated in the rear-view mirror monitors the headlights of approaching vehicles up to 1000 metres away and the rear lights of vehicles ahead up to 500 metres away. The system switches the headlights from full beam to dipped beam automatically. As soon as the other drivers are no longer in danger of being dazzled, the system automatically switches to full beam again. Driving at night with the High-Beam Assistant relieves you of the need to constantly adjust your headlights and provides a significant boost to driving safety. There's no danger of forgetting to return the headlights to full beam on the open road or of forgetting to dip them in time for oncoming traffic. The system also reacts automatically to ambient lighting, such as within a built-up area. The High-Beam Assistant is activated by pressing a button on your light control switch. It can be deactivated when required by using the headlight control stalk.

With the iDrive Touch Controller equipment, you can conveniently manage the iDrive System with one hand. Thanks to the touchpad integrated within the controller you can enter information such as destinations for the navigation system conveniently in your own handwriting.
You can also call up and adjust a large number of functions as well as scroll through lists. Operation is effortless and intuitive using the sense of touch – this reduces the burden on you the driver because it only makes minimum demands on your concentration which can thus remain fully directed towards events on the road. The Control Display allows you to conveniently follow all the functions managed via the controller.

Connectivity whenever and wherever you need it: the integrated SIM card enables you to use many BMW ConnectedDrive features without the need for you own mobile phone.
The SIM card is permanently built into your vehicle as part of the BMW TeleServices (6AE) equipment option. Above all, this makes it accident-proof and able to assist you even in difficult situations. BMW TeleServices is part of the basic features ConnectedDrive Services (6AK) and Intelligent Emergency Call (6AC), which provide the foundation for using many other BMW ConnectedDrive features. Thanks to the integrated SIM card, you can thus use equipment options such as Real Time Traffic Information, Concierge Services, Remote Services or Internet, without the need for any additional devices.

Intelligent Emergency Call from BMW ConnectedDrive can be relied on to automatically and quickly send for help in an accident, ensuring the vehicle’s occupants receive optimum assistance as soon as possible.
An emergency call is automatically activated when the crash sensors register an accident and this is immediately transmitted to the BMW Call Centre. A Call Centre agent makes contact with the occupants to enquire about their condition.
At the same time the agent receives data on the vehicle relevant to the rescue operation as well as the type and severity of the accident. From which side did contact take place? Which airbags were activated? And, depending on the model, did the vehicle overturn? Thanks to GPS the BMW Call Centre agent also receives information on the vehicle’s exact position, type, number plate and colour. Based on precise positioning data of the vehicle’s location, the nearest emergency services unit is deployed and supplied with all the information necessary to ensure they give the accident victims the appropriate medical care.

Internet access from BMW ConnectedDrive brings the World Wide Web into your vehicle. Driver can access the websites of their choice from their BMW just as easily as they can from their home computer.
The high-resolution websites appear in the cockpit’s Control Display or, in the optional Rear-seat entertainment Professional, in flat screens built into the backrest of the front seats (only for certain models). An extra function permits the screen details to be enlarged by a scale factor of 1.5 or 2.
Web addresses can be entered directly into the browser’s address field and also saved as bookmarks. Symbols and letters can be entered in the same way as they are in a navigation system. The intuitive iDrive Controller takes on the role of a computer mouse: moving the controller in different directions moves the cursor on the display. Pressing the controller is the same as a mouse click and is used to select links or menu options. Turning movements scroll up or down a page.
Data transfer is based on UMTS/HSDPA technology (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System/High Speed Downlink Packet Access) A special BMW server ensures that pictures and so-called applets with extremely high data volume are quickly transferred and displayed to the optimum.
Internet connectivity in the vehicle is a service provided by BMW ConnectedDrive. For safety reasons, the Control Display only shows content when the vehicle is at a standstill. Internet access in the rear is available throughout the journey.

Lane Change Warning detects any vehicles in the driver’s blind spot or vehicles approaching at speed in the overtaking lane and warns the driver by means of a symbol in the exterior mirror.
If the driver still indicates in order to change lanes, a vibration in the steering wheel and a flashing hazard symbol warn of the critical situation.
The benefits at a glance:
• avoids hazardous situations when overtaking or changing lanes
• optical warning in exterior mirror
• additional warning through vibration in the steering wheel

The Lane Departure Warning including camera-based Collision Warning registers lane markings at a distance of 50 metres and beyond a speed of roughly 70 km/h. If the vehicle threatens to cross a marking unintentionally, the driver receives a warning in the form of a slight vibration on the steering wheel.
If you operate the indicator during the process – i.e. you intend to leave the lane – no warning is given. Camera-based Collision Warning detects vehicles ahead and warns you if the gap becomes too small or if there is a looming risk of collision.
The benefits at a glance:
• reduced risk of accidents due to Collision Warning
• driver is warned by a vibration in the steering wheel
• enhanced safety when leaving lane unintentionally

Life360 is an innovative, free-of-charge iPhone app that connects up families or close friends in an urban environment using location-based technology.

The Navigation system Professional offers drivers a design implemented completely in 3D combined with an innovative interface concept and numerous functions for navigation, office and multimedia.
As a permanently integrated feature in your vehicle, the Navigation system Professional has many benefits to offer: linking the system with the wheel sensors and the steering angle sensor means that the vehicle can always be precisely localised. This guarantees reliable navigation at all times, even when the GPS signal is weak – such as in a tunnel.
Incorporation in the clearly structured BMW control and display concept makes navigation especially straightforward. At the same time various functions interact intelligently, so that the volume of music, for example, is reduced automatically before a navigation announcement explains the route.
In addition to route directions and maps, the high-resolution colour display with its split-screen function and dimensions of up to 10.2 inches, depending on the model, also has options to show 3D road maps and photo-realistic images of sights en route. All menus are displayed in virtual, three-dimensional space and calculated in real time. A rapid 1.3-GHz processor with its own 3D graphics chip allows smooth browsing and scrolling; animations and dynamic transitions turn operating the system into a thrilling experience. Submenus appear as the main menus fade into the background while still remaining visible.
The Navigation system Professional offers practical interactive options even when entering the destination: to provide the best possible guidance, drivers also see a map view of the selected destination in split-screen mode. If necessary, they can use a zoom function to alter the screen display and check whether the destination shown really is the one intended. The extended function strip allows the driver to personalise map contents without having to leave the map view. Every alteration is displayed immediately and can be conveniently changed as required.
The High-Guiding Function is especially helpful when navigating in urban areas or where the road layout is unclear. Depending on the equipment package, the navigation information is shown clearly in either the multifunctional instrument display, the central Control Display or the BMW Head-Up Display. Lane Guiding supplies additional details so that you choose the right lane in time. The 3D city model view option makes finding your way in urban areas easier by supplying realistic images of roads and buildings.
In its latest generation the Navigation System Professional in connection with BMW ConnectedDrive regularly carries out automatic updates of the navigation maps. As soon as updated material is available for the selected region, the update is transferred by mobile telephony thanks to the permanently installed SIM card – and this takes place up to four times a year. The update incurs neither licence fees nor transmission costs. Without the need to register or log in to a portal, the navigation system is always equipped with up-to-date maps. Even during the update process, the navigation function remains available without any restrictions.

Park Distance Control makes it easier for you to enter or leave the tightest of parking spaces. An acoustic signal warns you of possible dangers and thus reduces the chances of parking damage.
Ultrasonic sensors at the front and rear of your vehicle calculate the position of potential obstacles. Intervals between the warning tones indicate how much space you have left. The closer you move towards the obstacle, the shorter the intervals become. If the distance falls below 30 cm, the warning tone sounds continuously as a signal to brake. In addition to the acoustic parking aid, a diagram of the vehicle and the obstacles appears in the Control Display (if present in the vehicle), which is particularly helpful during reverse parking manoeuvres.

The Parking assistant makes searching for a suitable parking spot easier and actively helps you when parking. Up to a speed of 35 km/h and a maximum distance of 1.5 m to the row of parked cars at the side, the ultrasonic sensors of your BMW show you every relevant parking spot parallel to the road via the Control Display. Simply select the required parking spot, turn on the indicator, keep pressing the Parking assistant switch and the system will actively help you to park. It selects the forward or reverse gear, guides the steering and automatically accelerates or brakes. Parking has never been so much fun.

The benefits at a glance:

• relaxing parking parallel to the road
• automatic detection of a sufficiently large parking spot
• effective prevention of parking damage

Using the “Quick Search” function under NAVIGATION / DESTINATION INPUT, you can carry out a free text search for destinations. The search text is first sent automatically to HERE, and you then receive suggestions for possible destinations. You select the matching place – and the journey can start.

Real Time Traffic Information (RTTI) keeps you constantly supplied with up-to-the-minute traffic information. It transmits precise details on the location and duration of holdup, practically in real time.
Data sources include movement profiles from the cellular network, GPS data from vehicle fleets, smartphone apps and police reports. The evaluation is so precise that traffic jams can be accurately localised to the nearest 100 metres. RTTI is therefore able to keep you updated on the current traffic conditions on motorways, major roads and country roads as well as numerous inner-city routes and recommend efficient detours. Use of RTTI requires the ConnectedDrive Services.
 

With the Rear View Camera, you can see the area behind your vehicle in the Control Display when manoeuvring and parking. The Rear View Camera provides you with a better overall picture when reverse parking and at speeds below 20 km/h.
Interactive tracking lines show you whether the desired parking spot has enough space for your vehicle and assist you when manoeuvring by means of colour-coded areas on the Control Display. In connection with the tow bar, the Rear View Camera has a practical zoom function that makes reversing to hitch up to a trailer so much easier.
The benefits at a glance:

• clear view of the area behind the vehicle on the Control Display
• smooth parking or manoeuvring in the tightest of spaces
• interactive tracking lines provide convenient support when parking
• zoom function for the tow bar with interactive trailer docking line

With BMW ConnectedDrive drivers have remote access to their vehicle via the BMW Call Centre or the My BMW Remote App.
Remote Services are very useful, e.g. when you’re not sure whether you locked the car after getting out. The My BMW Remote App lets you lock or unlock your BMW by smartphone from wherever you happen to be.
In the ""Climate"" menu you can turn on the auxiliary heating* or auxiliary ventilation**. The remote function also allows drivers to sound the horn and flash the lights in order to find the vehicle in a large car park. In addition, the Vehicle Finder shows the car’s current position on a map on a smartphone.
Instead of using the My BMW Remote App drivers can call the BMW Call Centre. After callers have identified themselves as the owner, the Call Centre agent activates the Remote Services and unlocks or locks the vehicle.

• Before you can use Remote Services, they must be activated in the BMW ConnectedDrive customer portal (incl. security question for use via the Call Centre)
• Before you can use the My BMW Remote App, you first have to download it on the App Store or on Google Play™

* This requires the optional equipment item auxiliary heating.
** Depending on the series and model, some vehicles require additional optional equipment for automatic air conditioning in order to operate the “Climate-auxiliary ventilation” function.

The Speed Limit Info is a Driver Assistance system that reliably recognises and shows the driver the current and variable speed limits together with any signs prohibiting overtaking.
Ordinary speed limit information systems often give incomplete or inaccurate information, because the maps used are out of date or the variable signs – e.g. speed limits at construction sites or due to traffic jams – aren’t taken into consideration.
In contrast, the intelligent Speed Limit Info keeps the driver constantly informed about the currently permissible maximum speed. A camera built in to the rear-view mirror gathers data on permanent speed limits and the lifting of these restrictions and compares the information with the data from the navigation system.
It also recognises and analyses speed restrictions with special conditions: if the camera registers a sign reading '60 km/h in wet weather', this will only be communicated to the driver if the rain sensor of the BMW sends out the appropriate signal – namely if the condition ‘wet weather’ is fulfilled. The same applies to speed limits that are valid at certain times of day or when driving with a trailer/caravan.
Speed Limit Info also includes the no-overtaking indicator. In addition to speed limits, it monitors permanent as well as temporary road signs and takes note of possible restrictions on overtaking. This keeps the driver reliably informed of all overtaking bans and their validity. Depending on the model, this information is displayed in the instrument panel or also the BMW Head-up Display.
