BMW On-board Navigation System. With this option, the instrument panel gains a "second wave" that houses the iDrive* monitor; the iDrive controller is on the center console. The comprehensive system includes -
- 8.8-in. Control Display (color monitor), high-resolution 640 x 240 pixels
- Controller with Force Feedback (incorporates tactile feedback into controller movements)
- GPS Navigation with DVD database
- Voice Command system*.


The four main-menu choices are:

Communication - phone functions, BMW Assist and TeleService*.
Entertainment - radio, SIRIUS Satellite Radio when present, and CD functions. If the optional Logic7 audio system is present, this menu also leads to its Surround Sound effect and Digital Sound Processing.
Climate - Functions beyond those provided via the dash hard controls include automatic ventilation, for use when the vehicle is left parked.
Navigation - GPS Navigation, on-board information, trip computer, speed limit and stopwatch functions.

Additionally, the i-menu (reached by pressing the controller while in the main menu) offers choices for vehicle display and control settings as well as vehicle service. Here, under the Condition-Based Service menu option, one can observe the remaining miles to selected service and maintenance procedures, as well as legally mandated inspections. (Examples: front and rear brake pads, brake fluid, sparkplugs, engine coolant.) Under TeleService, key vehicle data are transmitted automatically to the BMW center when the Condition-Based Service sensors detect an upcoming service need, or manually when the driver activates the Service Request button under BMW Assist in the control display. The BMW center then contacts the customer to set a service appointment. (Requires activated BMW Assist telematics.)

SIRIUS Satellite Radio*. This appealing path to entertainment, news and information channels is available as a factory option. A subscription fee is required for SIRIUS service after the first year.

Logic7* sound system, with 13 premium speakers, Surround Sound simulation, Digital Sound Processing; standard in 335i, optional in 328i/xi models.

Power rear-window sunshade*. Controlled from a console switch.

The BMW Maintenance Program is the only no-cost maintenance program in the industry that covers wear and tear items like brake pads and rotors for 4 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. BMW owners pay nothing for all scheduled inspections, oil changes, brake pads, wiper blade inserts and other wear-and-tear items.

BMW Roadside Assistance is one of the industry's most comprehensive plans available. Not only is it no-charge for the first 4 years, but there is no mileage limit. BMW drivers enjoy the assurance of on-the-road help 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, anywhere in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. This includes everything from flat tire changes, emergency gasoline and lock-out assistance, to towing, alternative transportation and even trip-interruption benefits. This service also includes valuable trip routing advice.
