Car Expert.
With the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant, no questions go unanswered. This service provides you with the support of the ultimate car expert. Whatever you want to know about your BMW and whenever you need help, it will be there for you. You can learn even more about the features of your vehicle, and it knows everything about the overall status and service needs of your BMW.
My Assistant.
Understanding your needs and providing the best support at all times – that’s what makes the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant so unique. All it takes is a quick ‘Hey BMW, drive home’ and it will find your way home, or a ‘Hey BMW, I am hungry’ for a restaurant recommendation – even one with the best reviews, if you like. It allows you to be productive while on the road, reading out your emails or quickly finding your favourite music.
Natural Interaction.
The BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant – simply start talking to it. This is the very soul of your BMW, ready to help you at all times. To interact with the assistant, you don’t need to press a button or wait for a confirmation tone. Simply start talking as you normally would, without pausing. For example: ‘Hey BMW, who are you?’ Or perhaps you would like to give the assistant a different name? If so, say: ‘Hey BMW, change the activation word.’
In-Car Experiences.
Your BMW will take care of you. It invigorates you when you’re tired, relaxes you after a stressful day and adapts your vehicle’s interior to perfectly suit your mood. With In-Car Experiences, which include the Caring Car Programmes and Experiences Modes, your vehicle will make sure you feel your best.

The “Over-The-Air” update incurs neither license fees nor transmission costs. The navigation system is always equipped with up-to-date maps.
MY CAR.
Because your BMW is more than just a vehicle.
Inside your BMW you can concentrate fully on your journey because everything else is taken care of. The Digital Key on your smartphone gives you easy access to your vehicle while the Remote Software Upgrade „Over-The-Air” ensures that the software in your BMW is always up to date so that you can save yourself a trip to the dealer. And if an accident should occur, the Intelligent Emergency Call will automatically summon help and give important information on passengers and vehicle to the first-aid personnel.

Want to arrive with fresh energy, or relax when stressed? With Caring Car, your BMW will look after you. If you say, ‘Hey, BMW. I’m tired,’ or ‘Hey, BMW. I’m feeling stressed,’ the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant will activate the Vitalize or Relax Caring Car Programme, appealing to all of your senses through the interplay of various interior car functions for the duration of the programme.
Automate My Habits.
Do you always turn on the seat heating at setting three when it’s cold? Automate My Habits is an intelligent feature that learns and automates your preferred settings on request. You can then enjoy the journey while your BMW takes care of your well-being. More automation options will be added in the future.
Connected Command.
Would you like to concentrate fully on the road ahead? Then hand over some of the control to your passengers. This is easy with Connected Command. Using the BMW Connected app, passengers with your authorization can access the entertainment and navigation systems. They can also adjust key features of the climate control system.
Remote Software Upgrade.
Do you want your BMW to be up to date with the latest software? With Remote Software Upgrade, your BMW will be like new. Convenient, reliable and stress-free – without having to visit your BMW service partner. Upgrades are installed over-the-air, just as they are for your smartphone.
Wi-Fi Hotspot.
Take part in video conference calls on your tablet or stream the final episode of your favourite series on your smartphone. The Wi-Fi Hotspot is a way to go online with LTE speed (if available) using the SIM card installed in your vehicle. You and your fellow passengers can surf the Web on up to ten devices.

If there is an accident, it is essential to act fast. Intelligent Emergency Call fetches help and can even save lives if the worst should happen. It contacts specially trained call centre agents who offer support to you and your passengers until the emergency services arrive. It also sends them important information directly.
BMW CarData.
With BMW CarData you can view the key vehicle data for your BMW whenever you want and share them with third parties if required. And you alone decide who you can entrust your data to.

Why make compromises when on the road? Enjoy the digital lifestyle you are used to in your BMW as well. Transform your vehicle into a mobile office with Microsoft Office 365.
