The campaign kicked off in Germany and will be followed by the other European markets, China, the US and Canada, as well as the remaining ConnectedDrive markets. The upgrade will benefit owners of vehicles [1] from a total of nine BMW model series: 1 Series, 2 Series Grand Coupé, 3 Series, 3 Series Touring, 7 Series, 8 Series Convertible, 8 Series Coupé, 8 Series (M) Gran Coupé, M8, X5 (M), X6 (M), X7 and Z4.
The free upgrades not only include quality improvements and digital service expansions, but also new features for the Parking Assistant. The vehicles referred to can also be subsequently enabled for new functions such as the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant. Upgrade details can be viewed in the release notes in the BMW ConnectedDrive Store.
New vehicle functions can be activated later.
Thanks to Remote Software Upgrade, it is even possible to order additional vehicle functions through the BMW ConnectedDrive Store. Depending on the hardware configuration, the High-beam Assistant, BMW Drive Recorder and Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop&Go function can be booked and activated over-the-air – a milestone in digital personalisation at the BMW Group.
[1] BMW Live Cockpit Professional with BMW Operating System 7 is required for Remote Software Upgrades.
