The concept

The iDrive combines the functions of a multitude
of switches. Thus, these functions can be oper‐
ated from a central location.

Using the iDrive during a trip
To avoid becoming distracted and posing

an unnecessary hazard to your vehicle's occu‐
pants and to other road users, never attempt to
use the controls or enter information unless traf‐
fic and road conditions allow this.◀
