OVERVIEW
Personal settings
Deleting personal data in the
vehicle
Vehicle equipment
This chapter describes all standard, country-spe‐
cific and optional equipment available for the
model series. It may therefore describe equip‐
ment and functions which are not installed in
your vehicle, for example on account of the spe‐
cial equipment selected or the country specifica‐
tion. This also applies to safety-relevant func‐
tions and systems. Please comply with the
relevant laws and regulations when using the
corresponding functions and systems.
Principle
Depending on use, the vehicle stores personal
data such as saved radio stations. This personal
data can be permanently deleted using iDrive.
General
Depending on the equipment in your vehicle, the
following data can be deleted:
▷ Driver profile settings.
▷ Saved radio stations.
Data protection
▷ Saved functional bookmarks.
▷ Trip and on-board computer values.
▷ Music hard disc.
Data transfer
▷ Navigation, for example saved destinations.
▷ Phone book.
Principle
The vehicle offers various functions whose use
requires data to be transferred to BMW or a serv‐
ice provider. The transfer of data can be deacti‐
vated for some functions.
▷ Online data, for example Favourites, cookies.
▷ Office data, for example voice memos.
▷ Login accounts.
It may take up to 15 minutes in total to delete
data.
General
If data transfer has been deactivated for a func‐
tion, then that function cannot be used.
Operating requirements
Data can only be deleted with the vehicle at a
standstill.
Only perform settings with the vehicle at a stand‐
still.

Operating requirements
To ensure that the correct driver profile is ap‐
plied, the system must be able to match the de‐
tected vehicle key unambiguously to the driver.

It takes 15 minutes to complete the deletion
process.
This is ensured if the following conditions are
met:
If not all data is deleted, repeat the deletion proc‐
ess if required.
▷ The driver is only carrying their own vehicle
key.
Cancelling deletion
Switch-on drive-ready state to cancel data dele‐
tion.
▷ The driver unlocks the vehicle.
▷ The driver enters the vehicle through the
driver's door.
Driver profiles
Current driver profile
The name of the current driver profile is dis‐
played when the control display is switched on.
Principle
Individual settings for several drivers can be
saved in the driver profiles and called up again as
required.
Select a driver profile, see page 57.
As soon as the engine is started or any button
pressed, the display selected last is shown on
the Control Display.
General

Three driver profiles are provided, in which per‐
sonal vehicle settings can be saved. Each vehicle
key is assigned one of these driver profiles.
Settings
When the vehicle is unlocked with a vehicle key,
the assigned driver profile is activated. All the
settings saved in the driver profile are applied au‐
tomatically.
Settings for the following systems and functions
are saved to the current driver profile. Which set‐
tings can be saved depends on the country and
equipment.
If several drivers each use their own vehicle key,
the vehicle will adapt to their personal settings
when it is unlocked. These settings are also re‐
stored if the vehicle is used in the intervening pe‐
riod by someone with a different vehicle key.
▷ Unlocking and locking.
▷ Lights.
▷ Air conditioning.
▷ Radio.
Any changes made to settings are automatically
saved to the current driver profile.
▷ Instrument cluster.
▷ Functional bookmarks.
▷ Volumes, sound.
▷ Control display.
If a different driver profile is selected via iDrive,
the settings saved there are automatically ap‐
plied. The new driver profile is assigned to the
vehicle key currently in use.
▷ Park Distance Control PDC.
▷ Rear-view camera.
▷ Head-Up Display.
▷ Driving Experience Control.
A guest profile is also available which is not as‐
signed to any vehicle key. It can be used to per‐
form settings on the vehicle without changing
the personal driver profiles.
