Bowling Green, KY -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/23/2012 -- The local Bowling Green Kentucky BMW dealer, BMW of Bowling Green, is announcing the many benefits and features of the BMW iDrive system. This system is featured on many new BMW cars at BMW of Bowling Green and is meant to make driving safer and more convenient for the driver.

BMW understands that there are so many things to control in a car, sometimes at the same time: the radio, CD player, navigation system, cell phone, vehicle diagnostics, volume control, and more. Of even more concern is the multiple buttons and displays in varying places that driver’s must locate to control these functions.

With the iDrive system, many of these problems are eliminated. Instead of looking and reaching around the car for the right button or control, BMW drivers can simply use the convenient iDrive controller, which integrates multiple functions into one controller. Located near the gear shift, the iDrive controls can access radio, CDs, navigation, telephone, contacts, vehicle information, personalized settings, and more. BMW has intuitively designed the iDrive controller so that driver does not even have to take their eyes off the road to use it.

In addition to the controller, the BMW iDrive system features a glare-free control display, set in the car’s dashboard. The choices selected with the controller will be displayed on this screen, making it even easier to control and change various settings.

Apart from the mechanics of iDrive, there are several other features that make it the last word in convenience and safety. BMW iDrive can store up to 100 phone numbers and can initiate hands-free calling. As a result, drivers will not need to look up a contact themselves or struggle to type a number while driving.

The navigation system also delivers searchable points of interest, meaning that drivers can choose “gas station” or “restaurant” and the iDrive navigation will pull up related locations nearby. The external GPS antenna ensures that this navigation system is competent and accurate.

BMW owners can even choose to sync their MP3 players, iPods, satellite radio, and HD radio to the system.

BMW of Bowling Green is proud to offer a system that decreases driver distractions while at the same time increases driving convenience and technology. Stop by BMW of Bowling Green to learn more about the BMW iDrive system and see what it can do for your life.
