00:00Okay, what kind of reveal do you have up your sleeve for 2025?

00:21Another vision car?

00:23Come on, spill the tea, Frank.

00:24Oh, you're right.

00:26Of course, it's about the Neue Klasse.

00:28Everything with us is about Neue Klasse.

00:32We are creating nothing less than the next ultimate, ultimate driving machine.

00:37All right, come on.

00:38You call that spilling the tea?

00:41Today it's not about a new vision, quite the opposite.

00:44We are going to kick things off by gradually unveiling what's powering the Neue Klasse.

00:50No visions, no concepts, but the real deal.

00:55So we have chosen to start with something that gets you behind the steering wheel of

00:59your new BMW.

01:00Something that truly immerses you in the very essence of Neue Klasse.

01:05Something that we invented almost 25 years ago and have been continuously perfecting

01:11ever since.

01:13Something that we are now taking to an entirely new level.

01:17It is the all-new BMW panoramic iDrive.

01:22That's the power of operating system X.

01:25And of course...

01:26Nope, it doesn't work.

01:28Sorry, this is embarrassing for you, Frank.

01:31Second, the all-new central display that combines classic BMW aesthetics with...

01:39As you can see, the new BMW iDrive features four key elements that are closely interconnected.

01:46First, the revolutionary panoramic vision.

01:50The huge pillar-to-pillar head-up display reimagines the iconic BMW driver orientation.

01:58Second, the all-new central display that combines classic BMW aesthetics with perfect ergonomics

02:07with an intuitive touch interface.

02:10Third, on top of the panoramic vision comes the new 3D head-up display exclusively for

02:18integrated guidance information and with a visualization for highly automated driving.

02:25And finally, the newly designed multi-function steering wheel with simple controls and quick

02:31response to touch.

02:33All of this adds up to a unique hands-on-the-wheel, eyes-on-the-road experience.

02:39Okay, maybe if we all close our eyes and think positive.

02:45And of course, you will find there the home button.

02:56On the right-hand side, behind the steering wheel, you can see upcoming turns.

03:03In the 3D head-up display, you see key information for the immediate driving situation, slightly

03:09adapting perspective and zoom.

03:12In the central display, there is this beautiful rendered 3D map right at your hand.

03:20I wanted to tell you about an emotional highlight, our BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant towards

03:28enabling a truly natural and valuable interaction for our customers.

03:32So show where we should we drive to.

03:35Let's ask the assistant.

03:36Hey BMW, take me to the best-rated beach nearby.

03:43Got it.

03:45Getting directions to Sunset Beach.

03:47So let's check how iDrives helps our customers while driving.

03:52We show the driver what they need at the right time.

03:57So now what about switching to a different mode?

04:02Hey BMW, yes, activate sports mode.

04:07Activating sport mode.

04:08Ready to roll.

04:12Let's go.

04:28Well, thank you, Stefan.

04:30But we believe that sporty driving is about much more than just settings.

04:36It is a truly holistic experience.

04:39A combination of sound, light, and a more vibrant interface design as you just saw.

05:06All right.

05:12But thank you all for both your insight that you provided into the design and the features.

05:18Now I just have one last question and it's for you, Frank.

05:21When do we get our hands on the new iDrive?

05:23Yeah, from the moment the first model of Neue Klasse hits the market end of this year,

05:30every new BMW will come with panoramic iDrive.

05:35This will be the user interface in every BMW across all models.

05:43Anyways, that's it for us, everyone.

05:45Frank, can I talk to you for a second?

05:48See you.

06:05Bye.
