BMW iDrive 8 Infotainment System Revealed!



Originally, BMW developed the Infotainment system in 2001 for use in their 7th generation E65 vehicles. Now a mainstream feature in various make and model vehicles, credit is surely due to BMW for this evolutionary leap. 

As time progressed, BMW refined their Infotainment system with every reiteration. Subsequently, BMW's Infotainment system was a leader in the industry for many years. However, the iDrive 7 Infotainment technology was slowly surpassed by similar technology from various competitors.

Now, BMW has revealed their latest itineration of their Infotainment system, the iDrive 8. Scheduled to be released as a mainstay component of the iX model and i4 vehicles, the new system boats major improvements to various features such as voice recognition and artificial intelligence capabilities.  

Other features include the cloud-based BMW ID, which tailors vehicle recommendations to each specific driver, and a three LCD screen display. For a full breakdown on all features of the BMW iDrive 8 system, keep an eye out for our upcoming blog post!

Facelift For Bavarian Police Force BMW Vehicles

For the better part of 20 years, Bavarian police cars were manufactured with silver BMW 3 series vehicles. Prior to the silver color scheme, these vehicles sported a white base coat. Recently, the Bavarian government has decided to revamp their BMW police vehicles in terms of a color scheme. The new color scheme draws inspiration from the nostalgic white base coat used prior to 2003.  Modeled after their previously utilized retro white, blue, and yellow color scheme, new Bavarian BMW police vehicles have gone back to their roots by shedding the apparently outdated silver and green paint job.
