Twenty years ago, new vehicle standards were introduced to the automotive industry when BMW announced their new display and operating system, BMW iDrive, in the 2001 BMW 7 Series. BMW drivers were introduced to an entirely new driving experience that allowed them to interact with their vehicle in ways they had never been able to do before. Connections between driver and vehicle grew stronger with the new multifunctional, online-based user experience. All-New BMW iDrive System Since its introduction, BMW iDrive has become a ubiquitous feature throughout the BMW model lineup. For 2021, BMW iDrive celebrates its 20th anniversary. BMW is announcing the next chapter in its display and operating system at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2021. The all-new BMW iDrive system is set to transport driver-vehicle interaction into a new digital and intelligent age and will premiere in the upcoming BMW iX where it will be available for the first time. BMW is utilizing the virtual forum the event provides to give a global audience an initial preview of its upcoming all-new BMW iDrive system, which will be officially unveiled later in 2021. BMW’s digital offering at CES 2021 also includes a teaser video that visualizes the development of the user experience inside a BMW over the last two decades. Additionally, the BMW Design team responsible for user experience and user interaction has provided a behind the scenes glimpse of its development work. Another episode has been added to the “ Re-Thinking Design” video series launched as part of the BMW Group’s #NEXTGen 2020 event. All the content from BMW’s presence at CES 2021 and further digital presentations can be viewed in a special CES feature on the online platform at www.bmw.com/ces. Visit BMW USA News for more information on the all-new BMW iDrive System in their article Twenty Years of BMW iDrive. 2001 BMW 7 Series BMW iDrive The BMW iDrive operating system introduced in the 2001 BMW 7 Series replaced old habits such as buttons and controls. The new system was designed with a color screen in the instrument panel (the Control Display) and a rotary dial on the center console (the iDrive Controller). This multifunctional system allowed drivers to control a large number of vehicle settings, entertainment, navigation and telecommunications functions with a single operating tool. The BMW 7 Series was also the first car to feature voice control technology, which allowed selected functions to be activated using spoken commands. iDrive’s controller and voice control made operating the car’s systems significantly easier and safer.

The BMW 330e is an iconic sedan with electrified enhancements. The plug-in hybrid uses a powerful combustion engine that works with an electric motor to provide efficient driving and all the performance you expect from a BMW. Its all-electric range is perfect for short commutes and local trips and allows drivers to maximize efficiency. BMW Blog shares with us their opinion of the BMW 3 Series in their article “ Is The BMW 330e The Best 3 Series Value?” BMW 3 Series The BMW 330i is quick and fun to drive, comfortable, has a premium interior and is overall a fabulous car. BMW Blog suggests that compared to the less-expensive BMW 330i, the BMW 330e plug-in hybrid is worth the extra $3,300 more. The plug-in hybrid comes with more power, better efficiency, and an electric driving mode. Owners may even be eligible for more financial incentives in the form of tax credits at both the federal and state level, in addition to qualifying for state rebates and grants. Visit BMWUSA for more information on the 3 Series Sedan. 3 Series Price Comparison Before taxes and destination fees, the gas-powered BMW 330i costs $41,250. Before the same fees, the BMW 330e starts at $44,550. According to FuelEconomy.gov, owners of the plug-in hybrid may also be eligible for a Federal Tax Credit of up to $5,836. In the long run, the BMW 330e is more efficient, will save you money on fuel, and is cheaper than the 330i. 3 Series Power & Performance The BMW 330e is powered by a 2.0-liter BMW TwinPower Turbo inline 4-cylinder that is also found in the 330i. The engine produces an output of 181 horsepower and, its electric motor bumps the total output to 288 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. In comparison, the BMW 330i produces 255 horsepower and 294 lb-ft of torque. The two models keep the same 0-60 mph time of 5.6 seconds despite the 330e weighing in at a heavier weight than the 330i. 3 Series Efficiency Being a PHEV, the BMW 330e can drive under pure electric power for up to 22 miles at speeds up to 87 mph. If your commute to work at the Smith Haven Mall in Lake Grove is only 15-20 miles, you can charge your car at night and have enough juice to make it to work the next morning, and hopefully charge your car at work and make it home on electric power alone. Or, if you just need to make a quick trip to Whole Foods Market in Lake Grove, save yourself some fuel with the electric power mode. It might not be a ton of electric range but it’s enough to save money on expensive gasoline, as well as emitting the least amount of harmful carbon dioxides as possible.

BMW is redefining the successful Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) concept and creating a vehicle that provides something more than just mobility. The BMW iX is designed to create an exhilarating driving experience for drivers and passengers that is composed of a sense of wellbeing, safety, security, and luxury. The BMW iX goes into production at BMW Plant Dingolfing in the second half of 2021 and is scheduled to arrive in the U.S. in early 2022. BMW iX Design & Technology The BMW iX embodies the character of the BMW i brand whose mission is to transform personal mobility. BMW i plays a central role at the BMW Group as a “workshop for the future” and as a driver of innovation across the company. The iX will combine the company's latest developments in the strategic innovation fields of Design, Connectivity, Electrification, Digital Services, and Sustainability. Major focal points of the iX that showcase these innovations are optimized aerodynamics, intelligent lightweight Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic designs, as well as extensive uses of natural and recycled materials. Fifth-Generation BMW eDrive Technology The fifth generation of BMW eDrive technology delivers improved efficiency and performance. The power unit developed by the BMW Group is designed with two electric motors, power electronics, charging technology, and a high-voltage battery and is manufactured sustainably without the use of rare earth raw materials. From most recent calculations, this power unit will develop an output of around 500 horsepower and reach 62 mph in under 5.0 seconds. DC Fast Charging The new charging technology of the BMW iX enables DC fast charging at up to 200 kW. In just ten minutes, the battery can be charged with enough energy to increase the car's range by around 75 miles. The battery can be charged from 10 to 80 percent capacity in under 40 minutes.  It takes less than eleven hours to charge the high-voltage battery from 0 to 100 percent at an 11 kW Level 2 charging station. BMW Charging Powered by EVgo BMW is partnering with EVgo, the nation’s largest public fast-charging network and the first in the U.S. to be powered by 100% renewable energy. The new BMW Charging service will provide BMW EV and PHEV drivers with access to EVgo and partner charging network stations via an easy to use mobile app. BMW Charging Powered by EVgo will enable BMW drivers to see the real-time status of chargers, initiate a charging session, check their account status, and more. Intelligent New Kidney Grille The distinct BMW kidney grille and equally familiar twin headlights represent a new futuristic style. The kidney grille is completely closed off since the electric drive system of the iX requires only a small amount of cooling air. Instead, it functions as an intelligence panel with camera technology, radar functions, and other sensors. Sports Activity Vehicle Exterior Proportions The BMW iX combines fully electric all-wheel drive with the functionality of the BMW X5, with the sporting nature of the BMW X6 and with the visual impact of the BMW X7. Its wheelbase measures 118-inches and its wide front and rear tracks provide luxurious long-distance comfort and sporty driving characteristics. Panoramic Glass Roof with Electrochromic Shading An available panoramic glass roof features a large single-piece transparent surface that spans the entire interior. The panoramic glass roof enhances the sense of spaciousness and maximizes the headroom for passengers by removing the need for an interior shade liner. Instead, the new glass roof features electrochromic shading which can be activated at the press of a button to shield the interior from direct sunlight. Aerodynamically Optimized Exterior Mirrors The exterior mirrors on the BMW iX have been designed to help reduce wind noise, optimize aerodynamics, and improve visibility. Interior The interior of the iX creates a modern yet luxurious lounge-style ambiance and is designed with minimalistic designs, vast amounts of room, high-quality materials, new seating, and a panoramic glass roof. The displays and controls are all stripped down to their essentials and emphasize an uncluttered and relaxed cabin. This includes hidden speakers, air vents, radiant heated surfaces, and the discreet BMW Head-Up Display’s projector. Visit BMWUSANEWS for more information on The New BMW iX Design.
