Control over your driving comfort. 
Whether you’re communting or touring, you want to be totally comfortable, informed, and entertained by your favorite songs. Welcome to the next-generation iDrive, a new benchmark in automotive technology. Included wit the optional Navigation system in the 2009 BMW 3 Series, the new iDrive offers intuitive, ergonomic control within easy reach on the center console.
The system places a wide variety of entertainment and communication options at your fingertips. Using the iDrive Controller, simply tilt, rotate, push and click your way through any series of commands. New buttons, located above the Controller wheel, let you directly access the four main menu choices: CD Player, Radio, Telephone and Navigation. Six programmable memory keys on the dash allow you to store the settings of your choice, from preferred radio stations to frequently dialed phone numbers (if so equipped)
The system also features a high-resolution 8.8″ monitor, located next to the instrumnet cluster at an ideal viewing height and distance. All menu items are rendered in a clear, readily understandable graphic form, for quick comprehension at a glance. Visual operating cues, like an image of the Controller, make it even easier to find your way around. Choose the Navigation function and your iDrive Controller transforms into a virtual tour guide, complete with 3-D maps and select points of interest.
From finding your favorite songs, to finding your way to any destination, the iDrive is the perfect travel companion.
