The system also unlocks new potential sales for pre-owned BMWs. Drivers will be able to try out services and features for a few months before deciding to buy such a feature outright for the vehicle or subscribe to it for a predetermined amount of time. Another GPS-related feature is built into the system and puts hybrid BMWs into pure-electric mode when that vehicle enters the green zone of a European city.įinally, the automaker shared details about how this update will bring a better trial and subscription service to features available for BMWs. One is setting a preference for the window to automatically roll down when a vehicle is coming to a secure parking structure that the driver visits on a daily basis. The system will also support GPS-enabled rules. For example, EV route guidance will be better at finding stations for a journey, and the parking feature will use crowd-sourced data to help predict the availability of public parking spots using historical information, traffic patterns, and the ultrasonic scans of parking spots from other BMWs that are driving in the area.

The new version will create routes more quickly and will use contextual information to better plan how drivers will get to their destinations. For those who would rather use the car’s built-in infotainment system, BMW's Maps feature is getting an enhancement, according to the automaker.
