Driver profiles
Principle
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 vehi‐
cle will automatically apply the stored settings in
the driver profile.
General information
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 se‐
lected.
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 as‐
signed to a driver profile.
ConnectedDrive countries: The settings stored
in the driver's profile can be synchronized with
the personal BMW ConnectedDrive account. It is
thereby possible to use these settings in other
BMW vehicles as well.
Functional requirements
When a driver profile is created, switched or de‐
leted, the vehicle must move at a maximum of
walking speed.
