BMW iDrive Celebrates its 20th Anniversary

Tuesday, 19 January, 2021

BMW vehicles have many unique, iconic features that Bloomfield drivers have learned to love over the years, including the iDrive infotainment system. This display and operating system debuted 20 years ago, and today, it totes innovative functions that take the interaction between driver and vehicle to a whole new level. This operating system has continually advanced over the past 20 years, and BMW of Bloomfield can't wait to tell you more about its latest functions and features.

So, what makes the BMW iDrive interface so special? When this display and operating system came out years ago, it took away the need for an excess of buttons on the vehicle's dash and put all these functions into a color display, making it less cumbersome to control functions while on the road. Today, this infotainment system utilizes the latest automotive technology to make your time on the road even more convenient and safer.

One model you'll find the latest iDrive system is the 2021 BMW 3 Series. You can opt for the available BMW iDrive 7.0, which showcases innovative functions you can't find on many rivals. For instance, there's an optional gesture function, which allows you to make a physical movement to control certain features, like making a circular motion to lower or raise the volume. These useful functions allow you to make adjustments on the go without taking too much attention away from driving.

BMW plans to update the iDrive system with even more cutting-edge features in the years to come. In fact, the next BMW iDrive system will be available on the upcoming BMW iX.
