As befits a brand new executive sedan, the G30 BMW 5 Series is awash with new features and technologies. One of these is the revised iDrive interface, showcased in the video above.
The new design is a subtle evolution of the one on the 7 Series, which already heralded a comprehensive revision to the infotainment system. Much like its larger sibling, the 5 Series has a home screen with tiles of icons arranged in a horizontal fashion, but these now have snippets of live information embedded in them.
These widgets now allow the driver to quickly glance at data such as fuel consumption, weather and the map without having to delve into the individual menus. The tiles can also be rearranged to suit the driver’s preference, much like a smartphone. As on the 7 Series, the centre display can be operated via touch, gestures or the traditional iDrive rotary controller.
Other new features on the infotainment system include industry-first wireless Apple CarPlay connectivity, as well as Qi wireless smartphone charging in the centre console.

To Jonathan/PT. Can you check with BMW (M) if the G30 comes with the Auto Pilot Parking as one of our bro by the name of Ambros claim that this feature will NOT be in our 5 series just to put the matter to rest. Thanks.
ya ME TOO
Ya me too. Im so curious…
the 7 has this feature overseas but not in Malaysia cause government need to invest same as the e class remote parking pilot.
The white interior is so much more better than the black or the brown.
White really not easy to maintain, unfriendly. Either very seldom drive or very careful person, also it will make passenger not so comfortable, as afraid to stain your car, thus uneasy, still brown and black are more practical color and friendly.
ya me too. hmm….
i already say the 7 and E have the same feature overseas but in Malaysia it is unavailable cause government need to invest it. SO the 5 it is going to be same story.
Who care what you said?
