Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Music Collection
For the first time in a BMW vehicle, a music collection can be saved on an internal hard disk drive and accessed through its own sub-menu. The music collection feature is found under the CD/Multimedia menu of the CIC.
A music search function has been implemented, which searches for information (metadata) on the individual music tracks (artist, album, etc.). A hard drive-based track database (Gracenote®) provides further information to the music track (metadata).
