BMW Assist.

BMW Assist puts you in control of your travel plans. Up-to-date traffic information, congestion reports and alternative route suggestions can be called up at the press of a button, plus information about hotels, restaurants and other useful addresses. These can be entered directly in the navigation system. Its automatic emergency call feature and breakdown assistance request, including vehicle location data, enhance your safety.

BMW Online.

BMW Online is an internet-based feature, offering individually tailored information services including news and business updates. Access useful travel information directly from your BMW: from the locations of available parking spaces to the address of the nearest cinema or chemist’s. With its address book feature and email function, BMW Online transforms your BMW 3 Series Coupé into a mobile office (only in connection with the optional Professional navigation system and integrated preparation for mobile phones with Bluetooth® interface).

Internet access.

Thanks to BMW ConnectedDrive, the internet can be used freely for the first time in an automobile. You can enter the address of any website you require or open a site directly using one of the favourite buttons. The iDrive controller in the central console functions in the same way as a standard computer mouse.

Navigation systems in the BMW 3 Series Coupé.

Convenience plus speed: the optional navigation system Business (including iDrive and Radio Professional with combined CD drive) and navigation system Professional (including iDrive and radio Professional, a DVD drive and a hard drive for maps and audio files for example) guide you safely to your destination. For increased safety, the optional Voice Control allows you to specify new destinations without having to remove your hands from the steering wheel. The 8.8-inch colour screen can be set to split-screen mode, so that the route map is displayed on one side and arrow directions on the other. And while the vehicle is stationary, the screen can also be used as a television.

Mobile phone preparation with Bluetooth interface
in the BMW 3 Series Coupé.

The cordless Bluetooth mobile phone means you can do away with the cumbersome cable between your mobile handset and the hands-free equipment. Bluetooth-compatible mobile phones register with the on-board computer via the optional interface as soon as the driver approaches the vehicle. Telephone numbers, addresses and call lists are then automatically synchronised with the on-board computer. During the journey, the mobile phone can be operated using the multifunction steering wheel or the hands-free equipment. There is a snap-in-adapter available for the Apple iPhone. You local BMW partner will be happy to inform you of the mobile phones with which the Bluetooth interface is compatible.

USB/audio interface in the BMW 3 Series Coupé.

The USB/audio interface integrated in the central console allows you to connect your USB stick or MP3 player to your vehicle. Music titles stored on this are displayed on the radio or navigation screen and can be selected using the multifunction steering wheel, or via the iDrive Controller.

for the BMW 3 Series Coupé.
