The central interface for driver-vehicle interaction consists of four key components: the BMW Panoramic Vision, the Central Display, the new multifunction steering wheel and the new, optional BMW 3D Head-Up Display. In combination, these offer a more driver-oriented experience than ever before and take the unique BMW approach of Hands on the Wheel, Eyes on the Road to a completely new level.
The BMW Panoramic Vision projects information across the entire width of the windscreen, allowing driver and occupants to experience an entirely new dimension of personalisable content. Close-by is the Central Display with free-cut design. Ergonomically in the ideal position right next to the steering wheel, the Central Display gets its unique colour and luminosity from the Matrix Backlight technology – in any light conditions. And for the first time, the optional BMW 3D Head-Up Display offers an even broader overview by projecting the navigation and assisted driving displays straight into the driver’s field of vision. Rounding off the BMW Panoramic iDrive ensemble is the new multifunction steering wheel with haptic feedback. The BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant now has enhanced capabilities: with an integrated Large Language Model (LLM), it enables dialogue in natural language.
The BMW Panoramic iDrive takes personalisation to a new level. For the first time, users can define their own preferred driving characteristics such drive system and steering settings, via the My Mode Personal. They can also upload personal photos and adjust the colour selection of the Ambient Light and Central Display to taste. The overall experience is further enhanced by the new "HypersonX" sound experience, developed by the BMW Group Sound Design Studio. This comprises 43 sound signals as well as special driving sounds for the My Modes Personal and Sport. The multi-dimensional sound spectrum adapts the sounds exactly to the driving situation, enabling emotional interaction between the driver and their BMW.
