If a BMW ID or driver profile is activated, the settings stored for it are applied in the vehicle.
Many of the settings that are stored for a BMW ID in the vehicle can be synchronized with the BMW Cloud. This makes these settings available in any vehicle where the same BMW ID is used to log in. The vehicle can store three BMW IDs or three driver profiles. A BMW ID or driver profile can be activated while unlocking.
