CONTROLS
Many of the settings that are stored for a BMW
ID in the vehicle can be synchronised with the
BMW Cloud. This makes these settings avail-
able in any vehicle where the same BMW ID is

All individual settings can be reset to the
factory settings when drive-ready state is
switched off. Data can only be deleted with the
vehicle at a standstill. The vehicle key must be
