Munich. BMW is surprising its customers in their BMW this holiday season with two festive animations for Christmas and the new year. Festive music will play with atmospheric ambient lighting accompanying the festive message inside the car. An app icon with a Christmas hat on the BMW Control Display will appear from 22 December once the vehicle has been started, signalling the approaching festive season. Clicking the icon will start the BMW Happy Holiday Festive Animation, available until 26 December. Christmassy images will illuminate the Control Displays, a festive melody will play and an ambient light show will create an atmospheric feel in the interior.


On New Year’s Eve, a second animation will mark the turn of the year

From 31 December onwards, another app symbol in the Control Display with a stylised firework will celebrate the new year. There is also a New Year’s message from BMW, also with festive music and an ambient light show in the vehicle. The driver can play both animations as often as they like during the festive season by clicking on the app icon.More and more customers around the world will see the personalised festive greetings in their BMW with each passing year. This year, 48 BMW markets are already transmitting the New Year’s message to over 2.6 million BMW vehicles. To display the festive animations, the vehicles need to have the appropriate optional equipment and a BMW iDrive with Operating System 7 or Operating System 8, and have a production date after 07/2020.

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 are available at www.bmw.de/wltp and at www.dat.de/co2/.
