Munich/Paris. The personal mobility companion BMW Connected already comprises many functions designed to help users with their daily mobility needs. Using its flexible platform – the Open Mobility Cloud – as a basis, it connects touchpoints like smartphones and smartwatches with users’ cars, thus weaving the car into their digital lives. And due to its ability to create an intelligent BMW ID based on a user’s travel patterns over time, BMW Connected users get a personalized experience over all available touchpoints. At the Mondial de l’Automobile Paris 2016, BMW Connected is now set to present new services, additional devices, and availability in more countries.

 

The new update further improves convenience and connectivity.
When it was launched – in March in the USA and in August in Europe – BMW Connected was initially available for Apple iPhone users. From October, Android-based smartphones will also be supported. The update of BMW Connected will also cover the new Apple Watch Series 2. Customers will be able to call up information such as driving times based on current traffic, as well as a map showing the navigation destination on the watch, and use that information without having to take out their smartphone. Plus, integration into Alexa will also allow users in Germany and the UK to control vehicle functions from home. For example, the vehicle doors can be locked or the battery’s charge status checked.

With BMW Connected, mobility begins before the user gets into the car and does not have to end when they find a parking space. Last mile navigation displays the route users need to take from their car to their final destination on their mobile device. And the new update to BMW Connected also sees users benefitting from first mile navigation – the route back to their vehicle is now accessible via BMW Connected.

New filter functions allow BMW Connected to be adapted even more precisely to personal needs. For instance, searches for charging stations for BMW i models or vehicles with plug-in hybrid drive systems can be refined using criteria such as the charging method involved, membership in the ChargeNow network, and the accepted payment method(s). Charging stations which do not meet the selected criteria are not shown. Furthermore, users can access more information on their vehicle, such as the tyre pressure and engine oil level.

The new BMW Connected visual design increases ease of use, with upgraded graphics that sharpen the focus on the desired information. In order to increase the run time of the devices in use, BMW Connected now also offers an additional mode which preserves battery life.

 

BMW Connected is now available in more countries.
BMW Connected is now available in six more markets: Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Malaysia, and Singapore. BMW Connected was already offered in the USA, Germany, Austria, UK, Italy, France, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Ireland, Poland, the Czech Republic, and Luxembourg.

 

Alexa can be linked to BMW Connected by users in the USA, Germany, and the UK, with other markets to follow.

CO2 emission information.

Fuel consumption, CO2 emission figures and power consumption and range were measured using the methods required according to Regulation VO (EC) 2007/715 as amended. They refer to vehicles on the German automotive market. For ranges, the NEDC figures take into account differences in the selected wheel and tyre size, while the WLTP figures take into account the effects of any optional equipment.

All figures have already been calculated based on the new WLTP test cycle. NEDC figures listed have been adjusted to the NEDC measurement method where applicable. WLTP values are used as a basis for the assessment of taxes and other vehicle-related duties which are (also) based on CO2 emissions and, where applicable, for the purposes of vehicle-specific subsidies. Further information on the WLTP and NEDC measurement procedures is also available at www.bmw.de/wltp.

For further details of the official fuel consumption figures and official specific CO2 emissions of new cars, please refer to the “Manual on the fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and power consumption of new cars”, available at sales outlets free of charge, from Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH (DAT), Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, 73760 Ostfildern-Scharnhausen and at https://www.dat.de/co2/.
