BMW CONNECTED DRIVE –
FOR MORE CONVENIENCE, INFOTAINMENT AND SAFETY.
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

BMW ConnectedDrive
In touch with your world.
A new era of mobile networking. The BMW Vision ConnectedDrive is a visionary
roadster distinguished by an eye-catching, stunning design. Its dynamic, fl owing lines lead
the eye from the distinctive front and along the elongated bonnet to a unique composition:
a synthesis of exterior and interior. Each of the three layers in the interior symbolises
one aspect of BMW ConnectedDrive – convenience, infotainment and safety. Related
functions and controls are identifi ed by optical wave guides in different colours. Their
pulsating light represents the fl ow of information. For more information on this concept
vehicle and other research projects see the new Future Lab.

Active Cruise Control.
This option enables comfortable driving at a pre-selected speed. When
driving in columns of traffi c, your BMW automatically adapts to the speed
of the preceding vehicle and uses its
radar sensor to maintain a pre-set
distance. The braking function
ensures that the desired speed is maintained
even when travelling downhill
(not for four-cylinder models).
Convenience.
“On long journeys, I don’t always
want to have to look at the speedometer.
Not a problem with Active Cruise Control.”
Comfort Access, including exterior door handle illumination.
This system allows you to unlock, lock and start your BMW without inserting
the key. All you need is the remote control, which transmits an identifi cation
signal to the car, in your pocket. Simply touch the door handle or boot
lid and the BMW unlocks or locks as required. Similarly, a touch of the
Start/Stop button is all it takes to start the engine.
