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.
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 Service Centre will be happy to inform you of the mobile phones with which the Bluetooth interface is compatible.
An adjunct to the optional BMW Professional navigation system in the BMW 1 Series Coupé, Voice Control puts your words into instant action. It enables you to adjust any of the central iDrive functions by speech alone. It even offers a text-to-speech function that can read incoming e-mails aloud. Convenience, safety, comfort: Voice Control ensures that you are not distracted from the most important aspect of the BMW 1 Series Coupé - driving.
The whole of Europe on a single DVD.

The optional navigation system Business (incl. iDrive, radio Professional with CD and DVD drive and Voice Control) displays arrows and maps to direct you to your destination.
