The computer system that tracks information on different functions of your BMW is called iDrive. Some call it a "vehicle control system." iDrive combines the secondary systems of your car (audio, navigation, climate and communications), with various sensors. Then, magically, a message is displayed on an LCD screen in the middle of your dashboard. With a control knob and a menu button on your center console, you can scroll through the options and iDrive will inform you about your car's health. Got any more questions?

With the latest in computerized diagnostic tools, we will service your BMW quickly and efficiently.
