If you're anything like us at Fields BMW Lakeland, then you know that driving a BMW is about more than just getting behind the wheel and hitting the road. It's about connecting with your car and experiencing what it means to be a BMW driver. As we look ahead to 2014, we're excited share the great news that connecting with your BMW is about to get even easier - and better - than ever before.


That's because BMW ConnectedDrive will soon carry custom mobility services and advanced service features to better assist BMW drivers. U.S. drivers will have access to more robust BMW ConnectedDrive standard offerings than ever before, including the option to add services after purchasing their new BMW.


More upcoming features include:


  • Standard BMW Assist in nearly all 2014 models, with 10 years of eCall including enhanced Automatic Collision Notification and BMW Teleservice.
  • More voice command options, including message dictation for improved safety and Apple Siri/Samsung SVoice integration.
  • Updated BMW iDrive 4.2 standard or available on most 2014 models with a group of additional features and enhancements.
  • BMW navigation and BMW Online standard equipment on 2014 BMW 5, 6 and 7 Series cars as well as 2014 BMW X5 and X6 Sports Activity Vehicles. This includes Advanced Real Time Traffic Information.
  • Greater access to compatible third party apps, including TuneIn, Audible, Rhapsody and Glympse.
  • Android operating system compatibility and integration to come later in the year.


If you like where this is headed, stop in at our Lakeland car dealership for more information and a test drive of the latest BMW models. We can't wait to tell you how this BMW ConnectedDrive update will transform the way you interact with your vehicle, your passengers and even the world around you. As the BMW ConnectedDrive system upgrade continues to roll out, SIM card integration will help drivers enjoy a seamless experience with the goal of connecting 5 million BMW cars throughout the world by 2017. Achieving this goal will make BMW the first carmaker to attain blanket connectivity.
