BMW unveils the next-generation iDrive, and it’s wild

Summary

66% Informative

The new iDrive system features what BMW calls it’s operating system X (or OSX), but this is far more than a software update.

The iDrive OSX comprises four main parts, including new steering wheel controls, an unusually shaped central screen, a 3D head-up display and the panoramic vision.

The steering wheel has gone big on the number of buttons and controls it offers.

New iDrive system will be featured in the first new BMW models later this year .

The display is projected from just below in the dash but it looks as though its a solid LED screen, due to the black background and high contrast projection.

The buttons on the steering wheel aren’t flat, as is the case with some haptic buttons.

This will be especially useful when BMW moves to level 3 autonomous systems.
