In the BMW iX, the iDrive system will be linked to the 12.3-inch instrument cluster and 14.9-inch touchscreen - both part of the full-width single, curved glass piece. With its ability to connect the car with the outside world, it aims to make the overall mobility experience safer, comfortable, and convenient.

Coming to the aesthetics, the all-new BMW iDrive infotainment system showcases a vibrant design that before. Also, it is not too radical, making it easy for users to understand its functionality.

Powering it is the tried and tested BMW Operating System 7.0 and the gestures and personal voice assistants are also carried forward. If you think that like its contemporary, BMW will shift from buttons 7 knobs to touch, then no, as the rotary dial is very much present.

Furthermore, the iDrive Infotainment system will be a combination of AI and sensors, thus allowing for a more proactive and personalised dialogue between the car and the driver. Speaking of which the driver will have greater access to information than before.
