BMW model update measures for 2022.

Munich. Raised efficiency, an even higher level of individuality and further digitalisation will make the numerous current BMW brand models even more attractive as of July 2022. Newly designed equipment packages make it easier to select options for enhancing driving pleasure and comfort in numerous model series.*

The BMW Curved Display will be added to the standard equipment of the new BMW 2 Series Coupé and the new BMW M3 Sedan. This means that the latest generation of the BMW iDrive multi-sensory vehicle experience based on the BMW Operating System 8 has also found its way into both model series. Further progress in the field of digitalisation is provided by additional functions for the BMW Maps navigation system and the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant.

New options for BMW 5 Series, BMW X5 and BMW X6.

An M Sport Package Pro will also be available in future for the BMW 5 Series Sedan. It is offered as a supplement to the respective model-specific M sports package and includes paddle shifters on the steering wheel for the entry-level models of the BMW 5 Series and an 8-speed Steptronic Sport transmission for all other models, as well as an extended M high-gloss Shadow Line, an M sports brake system with red brake callipers and M seat belts. The BMW 5 Series models also receive the M Shadow Line lights, while the BMW 5 Series Sedan also features a black M rear spoiler. New to the range of paint finishes is the Skyscraper Grey metallic variant, while the new Arctic Race Blue metallic paint finish is also available for the BMW 5 Series.

The models in the BMW X5 and BMW X6 series will feature Sensafin decor-quilted interior trim as standard from July 2022. The newly developed surfaces are available in five colour variants and have similar properties to Dakota leather, as well as a further refined look and feel.

Driving pleasure and comfort are enhanced in all models already equipped with BMW Operating System 8 thanks to new digital services. As of summer 2022, both the BMW Maps navigation system and the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant will feature new functions and enhanced capabilities. In addition to new map displays, the navigation system provides information about special sights and features along the route travelled on frequently used routes even when route guidance is not activated. 

In the cockpit of BMW M cars, the BMW Operating System 8 will feature an M specific user interface in future. In the BMW iX and the BMW i4, the additional Augmented View display, which can be used with BMW Live Cockpit Professional, is also shown in the Information Display.

The BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant, in conjunction with the BMW Operating System 8, will feature even more advanced capabilities as of summer 2022. The digital companion and vehicle expert can proactively make contextual suggestions to the driver on how to use functions. In future, these will also relate to Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go function, Parking Assistant, and the option to test additional functions from the BMW ConnectedDrive Store. In addition, the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant provides the driver with explanations of numerous other functions of his vehicle that he has not used so far.
