Personal Profile: Notes

The "Personal profile" systems allows the driver to set several functions of the BMW 3 Series to suit his/her personal requirements.

Personal profile stores the data entered by the driver such as automatic setting of the outside mirrors or speed-dependent volume in the corresponding control units.

As soon as the vehicle is unlocked using the remote control, the system recognizes the corresponding settings belonging to the remote control.

Up to three different basic settings can be adapted for three different persons. The precondition is that each of the three persons has his/her own remote control. The BMW 3 Series caters for the driver's personal requirements.
