BMW has rolled out an over-the-air software update for some 3.8 million vehicles around the world, bringing with it a host of new and improved features.
The new Remote Software Upgrade 07-22 brings with it 10 main elements, the first of which are extensive improvements to the ‘charging route’ function of the brand’s EVs. This system optimizes a route for charging as soon as a destination is entered if the current range isn’t enough to reach the destination. BMW says it has improved the system’s algorithm and the speed at which routes are calculated.
Elsewhere, the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant has been updated and can transform into 20 different icons. BMW customers can also activate Amazon Alexa in BMW Operating System 8 after the software update.
