With the start of 2018, BMW has been planning all sorts of modifications for all the vehicles it produces. Concentrating mainly on the impact of these vehicles on the environment, BMW has decided to introduce a series of parts in the construction of its vehicles that will help further reduce their cars’ emissions.

One of the things the people over at BMW decided to do is fit the diesel 1, 2, 3, 4-Series with their SCR system which stands for Selective Catalytic Reduction system. Together with the AdBlue injection technology, these vehicles will become even friendlier with the environment. The X1 or at least some version of this particular model will also be fitted with SCR and a new exhaust system that will further contribute to lowering the car’s emissions. No matter how you look at it, future BMW diesel vehicles are ready to be friendlier with the environment.

BMW has also made modifications to its gasoline vehicle models. These models will be equipped with a special particulate filter that was originally fitted on the 220i Coupe. The results registered after the addition of this part on the 220i Coupe prompted the people over at BMW to add the filter to all compatible models. This is good news for all gasoline BMW drivers. BMW has made sure to take in account all of its customers.

Apart from these changes a series of design and functionality modifications are to be put in practice. Most BMW models will receive LED fog lights, PDC or Park Distance Control. All BMW models will now come equipped with the ConnectedDrive services. This will allow the driver to access his car using a smartphone.

With all these upgrades, BMW will most likely manage to attract even more customers. All these modifications will definitely add to the car’s premium feel.

It seems BMW has taken serious action n the fight against pollution. Apart from improvements to the car’s emission system, BMW has also decided to add finishing touches to their cars in order to add to the already existing premium feel. The people over at BMW have started the year on the right foot. With all these changes announced, BMW will most definitely satisfy even the most demanding of customers. With a new policy under the hood, BMW has started the year in style. All that remains to be seen is what other improvements will be brought to the table in the following years by the Bavarian automaker.

ConnectedDrive banner from BMW is the world`s leading system that can make any viable connections between the vehicle, the driver and the world outside.

At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, the luxury car manufacturer has set a leading position in terms of technology.

The new series-produced vehicles will have the opportunity of using advanced developments and applications, connectivity and digital systems.

When I am referring about technology, I am actually talking about a special connection between the BMW M235i Coupe and the Samsung Galaxy Gear.

The connection involves a rapid share of information via internet, through a wrist watch, that can access thousands of apps and digital services right on the car`s computer.

Along with that, there are also other important gadgets for the car as the camera-based assistance systems that brings safety for the car.

Other technology involved for the M235i Coupe, concerns a new Parking Assistant that guides your car both from a longitudinal and also from a lateral point of view.

It would seem that these days Bluetooth technology is getting ever friendlier with cars and the latest gimmick is reading your email in your car.

BMW’s ConnectedDrive system uses Bluetooth to connect to your BlackBerry and help you read your emails.

By that, I don’t mean to say that you need a BMW’s larger infotainment screen to read them, oh no, in fact, the new system connects to your phone, loads the emails up, displays them and finally, reads them out loud for you so you enjoy the hands free capability.

A statement from BMW themselves made it rather easier to understand the inner workings of the system by explaining the new facilities for e-mail access tie in directly from the BMW ConnectedDrive office functions presented at the beginning of the year. Likewise unique worldwide, these allow not just call and contact lists but also calendar entries, text messages, tasks and memos to be transferred from compatible smartphones to the vehicle via Bluetooth interface.

It’s not just BlackBerry owners that receive this sort of treatment as users will also be able to sync the Pearl 3G, RIM’s latest phone, with BMW’s iDrive, giving the user wireless access to all music functions on the phone.
