BMW Assist.

BMW Assist puts you in control of your travel plans. Up-to-date traffic information, congestion reports and alternative route suggestions can be called up at the press of a button, plus information about hotels, restaurants and other useful addresses. These can be entered directly in the navigation system. Its automatic emergency call feature and breakdown assistance request, including vehicle location data, enhance your safety.

BMW Online.

BMW Online is an internet-based feature, offering individually tailored information services including news and business updates. Access useful travel information directly from your BMW: from the locations of available parking spaces to the address of the nearest cinema or chemist’s. With its address book feature and email function, BMW Online transforms your BMW 3 Series Coupé into a mobile office (only in connection with the optional Professional navigation system and integrated preparation for mobile phones with Bluetooth® interface).

Navigation systems in the BMW 3 Series Coupé.

Convenience plus speed: the optional Professional navigation system with GPS provides easy-to-follow directions, either as voice instruction or as arrows and/or a route map on the high-resolution 16:9 colour screen. The 8.8-inch screen, which also functions as a television, can be set to split-screen mode, so that the route map is displayed on one side and the arrow direction on the other. All destinations are stored on a DVD or CD-ROM. 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 enables connection of a USB stick. 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.

Digital road maps for the BMW 3 Series Coupé.

Road networks are constantly changing: digital road maps for BMW navigation systems keep you informed of these changes and are available on CD or DVD twice a year. The integrated Falk travel guide* also provides you with a range of additional useful information, such as local sights and restaurants.
