The IT revolution has changed the way we live. For
BMW drivers, it has become normal to view their
vehicle as another networked component of their
lives – they expect to be able to access information
on the go, communicate via phone or e-mail, and
keep up with the latest news. BMW ConnectedDrive*
options ensure that you and your vehicle always
remain in touch with the outside world, wherever you
are. The following pages show selected highlights
within the areas of convenience, infotainment and
safety. For a comprehensive overview of the BMW
ConnectedDrive range see

Revolutionising mobile networking. The BMW Vision ConnectedDrive is a visionary
roadster with a design that exhilarates from the very fi rst glance. Its dynamic, fl owing
contours lead the eye from the striking front and along the stretched bonnet of this
extraordinary vehicle – a synthesis of exterior and interior. Each of the three levels of
the interior stands for one of three BMW ConnectedDrive components – convenience,
infotainment and safety. The accompanying functions and controls are illuminated in
different colours, which literally radiate a pulsating array of information. More information
about this concept vehicle and further research projects is available in the new Future Lab.

New Generation Navigation System Professional.
This optional system offers a high-resolution and precisely detailed
." colour display that is now even easier to read. It also features a
quick-start function and delay-free input. Improved route guidance and
D map navigation provide still further convenience.
Park Assistant.
This optional driver assistance system makes parallel parking easier.
When travelling at speeds below km/h, the system measures any
parking gaps the vehicle passes. When a big enough gap has been
found, the Park Assistant will do the steering, while the driver continues
to operate the accelerator and brake pedals – supported by acoustic
signals and instructions in the Control Display.
Park Distance Control, Surround View, Rear View camera.
These optional systems enhance visibility of the area around the vehicle
when manoeuvring. Park Distance Control (PDC) provides visual and
acoustic warnings to make parking easier and safer. Surround View
presents an image of the BMW as seen from above in the Control Display.
The Side View system included in this equipment option ensures better
visibility when joining a main road from a side street or exit. The Rear View
camera enhances visibility when reversing at speeds below km/h, for
example when parking.
Contactless opening of tailgate.
The BMW ConnectedDrive Comfort Access option is a highly practical
innovation that allows hands-free opening of the tailgate for increased
operating and loading comfort. Say, for instance, you are carrying shopping
or luggage and don’t have a free hand. With this optional feature, you do
not have the inconvenience of having to put your bags down because all
it takes is a small movement of your foot beneath the rear bumper and a
sensor will trigger the opening of the tailgate or rear window, depending
on vehicle con guration. For the system to work, you simply need to have
the remote control (car keys) with you.
* May not be available in all countries. Please consult your BMW partner.
