ness Assistant, process sensor data which is
used to evaluate the vehicle's surroundings or
the driver's behaviour.
These include, for example:
▷ Status messages relating to the vehicle
and its individual components, for example
wheel speed, wheel circumferential velocity,
deceleration, lateral acceleration, fastened
seat belts.
▷ Ambient conditions, for example tempera-
ture, rain sensor signals.
The data is processed within the vehicle and
is usually transient. It is only saved for longer
than the operating period if it is required in
order to provide services agreed with the cus-
tomer.
Electronic components
Electronic components, for example control
devices and vehicle keys, contain components
for storing technical information. Information
about the vehicle condition, component use
and wear, maintenance requirements, events
or faults can be stored temporarily or perma-
nently.
This information generally documents the con-
dition of a component, a module, a system or
the vehicle's surroundings, including:
▷ Operating states of system components,
for example fill levels, tyre inflation pres-
sure, battery status.
▷ Malfunctions and faults of important sys-
tem components, for example lights and
brakes.
▷ Responses of the vehicle to particular driv-
ing situations, for example triggering of an
airbag, activation of the driving stability
control systems.
▷ Information on vehicle-damaging events.
The data is required so that the control units
can perform their functions. It is also used for
detecting and rectifying malfunctions, as well
as to optimise vehicle functions.

Notes
Most of this data is transient and is only pro-
cessed within the vehicle itself. Only a small
proportion of the data is stored in event or fault
memories in response to specific circumstan-
ces.
Personal settings
Convenience functions, such as seat, climate
or light settings, enhance the driving experi-
ence. The personal settings for these functions
can be saved in a BMW ID or in a profile within
the vehicle and retrieved as required, for ex-
ample if the settings have been changed in the
meantime by another driver. Depending on the
equipment, these profiles can be saved in the
vehicle manufacturer's secure data systems.
When the driver changes vehicle, these saved
profiles can simply be applied to a different
vehicle.
The vehicle settings stored in a BMW ID or
vehicle profile can be changed or deleted at
any time.
Multimedia and navigation
Data can be additionally imported into the
vehicle entertainment and communication sys-
tem, for example, via smartphone. The impor-
ted data can be processed within the vehicle,
for example to play the user's favourite music.
Depending on the equipment, this data in-
cludes:
▷ Multimedia data, such as music or photos,
for playback in an integrated multimedia
system.
▷ Address book data for use in conjunction
with an integrated hands-free system or an
integrated navigation system.
▷ Destinations: depending on the equipment,
route guidance can be started automati-
cally using destinations learned by the nav-
igation system.
▷ Data on usage of Internet services.
This data may be saved locally in the vehicle or
stored on a device that has been connected to
