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/DVD drive) and navigation system Professional (including iDrive and radio Professional, DVD drive and a hard drive for maps for example) guide you safely to your destination. With the navigation system Professional, the high-resolution 16:9 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. All destinations are stored on a DVD or CD-ROM. And while the vehicle is stationary, the navigation system Professional’s 8.8-inch colour screen, which is integrated in the central console, can also be used as a television. Commonly-used functions can be individually saved and activated using the eight functional bookmarks buttons.

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.
