iDrive
Vehicle features and options
This chapter describes all standard, country-
specific and optional features offered with the
series. It also describes features and functions
that are not necessarily available in your vehi-
cle, e.g., due to the selected options or country
versions. This also applies to safety-related
functions and systems. When using these
functions and systems, the applicable laws
and regulations must be observed.
Principle
The iDrive combines the functions of many
switches. These functions can be operated via
the Controller and, depending on the equip-
ment version, the touchscreen.
Safety information
Warning
Operating the integrated information systems
and communication devices while driving can
distract from surrounding traffic. It is possible
to lose control of the vehicle. There is a risk of
accident. Only use the systems or devices
when the traffic situation allows. As war-
ranted, stop and use the systems and devi-
ces while the vehicle is stationary.
