Data protection

Data transmission

Principle
The vehicle offers different services, whose use requires a data transfer to BMW or a service provider. The data transmission can be deactivated for some services. Depending on the usage, the vehicle stores per‐sonal data, such as stored radio stations. This personal data can be permanently deleted using iDrive. Driver profiles can be created to store personal vehicle settings. If the vehicle is used by multiple drivers, each driver can create his personal driver profile. When a driver profile is selected, the vehicle will automatically apply the stored settings in the driver profile.
General information 
When the data transmission is deactivated, the respective service cannot be used. Only make these settings while stationary. Three personal driver profiles can be created. In addition, a guest profile is available that can be selected by any driver. The guest profile is active when a personal driver profile has not been selected. Changes to the vehicle settings are automatically stored in the active driver profile or in the guest profile. The vehicle can already adjust to the driver when it is unlocked. For this purpose, the recognition via a vehicle key or a digital key must be assigned  to a driver profile. ConnectedDrive countries: The settings stored in the driver’s profile can be synchronized with the personal BMW ConnectedDrive account.
