The BMW iDrive celebrates 20 years at the all-digital CES2021. A paradigm shift in the interaction between driver and vehicle became an industry standard and laid the foundations for today’s multifunctional, online-based user experience.
BMW is once again underlining its leading role in digitalisation with its biggest Remote Software Upgrade to date. More than 750,000 vehicles worldwide will receive the latest version of BMW Operating System 7 (version 07/20) in the company’s largest over-the-air update ever rolled out by a European manufacturer.
At today’s Apple Worldwide Developer Conference it was announced that BMW will become the first carmaker to enable its customers to use iPhone as a fully digital car key.
+++ Typical BMW dynamics assured: First technical details on the powertrain system for the BMW i Hydrogen NEXT +++ Development collaboration with Toyota Motor Corporation to continue +++
Some me-time in the snow, a day in the mountains – for residents living in the city of Munich this is an attractive option. Driving the all-electric model of the British premium brand even allows the short trip to the Alps to be undertaken locally with zero emissions. The range is sufficient to go on a trip to the winter sports region of Sölden in Austria and then come back home, in each case without the need for a stopover to recharge the batteries.

CO2 emission information.
The following applies to consumption figures for vehicles with new type approval, September 2017 onward: The figures for fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and energy consumption are obtained in accordance with the specified measuring procedure (EC Regulation No. 715/2007), as issued and amended. The figures are for a basic-version vehicle in Germany. The bandwidths allow for differences in the choice of wheel and tire sizes and items of optional equipment and can be changed by the configuration.
Obtained on the basis of the new "Worldwide harmonized Light vehicles Test Procedure" (WLTP), the figures are converted back to the "New European Driving Cycle" (NEDC) for the sake of comparability. Values other than those stated here may be used for the purposes of taxation and for other vehicle-related duties relating to CO2 emissions.
More information about official fuel consumption figures and the official specific CO2 emissions of new passenger cars can be obtained from the "guideline on fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and current consumption of new passenger cars", available here: https://www.dat.de/co2/.
