Sensor data
Driver assistance systems, for example Active
Cruise Control, Collision Warning, or Attentive-
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 time if it is required in order
to provide services agreed with the customer.
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

Notes
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.
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 driver profile
within the vehicle and retrieved as required,
for example 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 sys-
tems. When changing vehicles, a BMW ID can
simply be transferred to another vehicle.
The vehicle settings stored in a BMW ID or in
a driver profile can be changed at any time. A
BMW ID or a driver profile can be 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-
