BMW 7 Series: Driver profiles
Concept
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 vehicle 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 selected.
Changes to the vehicle settings are automatically stored in the active driver profile or in the guest profile.
The recognition via a vehicle key can be assigned to a driver profile so that the vehicle will apply the settings as soon as the driver unlocks the vehicle. As soon as the vehicle recognizes the vehicle key, the corresponding driver profile will be activated.
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.
