BMW 3 Series

The BMW Live Cockpit Professionalwith navigation function includes a high-quality display network consisting of a high-resolution 10.25" Control Display that can be operated by touch and a fully digital 12.3" instrument display. The BMW Operating System 7.0 can also be operated via the iDrive Controller.

With BMW Gesture Control, certain functions can be operated by means of defined hand movements. For certain operations the system will for example recognise gestures such as 'swiping' or 'pointing' for accepting or rejecting an incoming call, or circular motions of the index finger to adjust volume.

The innovative operating concept of the BMW Operating System 7.0 enables even easier operation of vehicle functions via e.g. gestures, speech, touch screen and iDrive control – quite intuitively. For this purpose, the functionality of the Controller has been upgraded. For example, all digital services such as apps can now be selected directly.

The large full-colour BMW Head-Up Display projects all information relevant to the journey directly into the driver's field of vision, thereby allowing them to fully concentrate on driving. Information such as the current speed, navigation directions, Speed Limit Info including no-overtaking indicator, along with telephone and entertainment lists are displayed.

In laser high-beam mode, the Adaptive BMW Laserlight illuminates a range of up to 530 m, nearly twice as far as that of conventional headlights. Better visibility in the dark significantly increases safety. Blue accents and the lettering "BMW Laser" in the headlight also underline the technological standards and the sportiness of the vehicle.

Automatic tailgate operation allows the convenient opening and closing of the tailgate by simply pressing the button located in easy reach in the door panelling or on the car key. The tailgate can also be opened in the conventional manner, using the outside handle, and closed pressing a button on the inside of the tailgate.
