BMW knows that traveling is about so much more than getting from point A to point B. These days we spend so much time on-the-go that our vehicles have become more of a mobile office and personal assistant than simply a vehicle to transport us around. That is why they have created the BMW Connected app which has been designed to provide you with a more efficient traveling experience and make your life much more comfortable.
The functions of this app include Share Estimated Time of Arrival, Last Mile Route, Remote Services, Time to Leave Notification, Personal Learned Destinations, and Send to Car. You can learn the details of each of these functions in the video below where the brand has provided a description and a demonstration of each.
The BMW Connected app has already been in the U.S. and it is accessible through seamless vehicle integration using a device such as an Apple Watch or an iPhone. Check out the video below and be sure to stop by Flemington BMW if you have any additional questions.

“The volatility that has characterized the 2016 sales year was clearly evident in the beginning of the third quarter,” said Ludwig Willisch, President and CEO, BMW of North America. “As we have seen through the early months of the year, the 2 Series and X1 have acquired a strong following and the 7 Series continues gaining ground. At the same time, the global popularity of our X models continues to constrain our sales here in the U.S.”

The BMW brand may be in the process of creating an all-electric version of the 3 Series, according to rumors circulating that were recently reported by CleanTechnica. The publication has caught wind of a possible, all-electric design being worked on by BMW that is predicted to make its debut for the 2020 model year. While the information regarding this model is mostly speculation at the moment, CleanTechnica has reported that it can be expected that this vehicle will come equipped with a 90 kWh battery pack and have a fully charged driving range of around 300 miles.
There is still a bit of a wait before we will know for sure if this vehicle is to make its debut, in the meantime, we can anticipate a redesigned version of the BMW 3 Series to be released in 2018. This model will be equipped with a new chassis with CLAR technology. This technology will make it easier to include the electric drivetrain by lightening the vehicle by nearly 200 pounds.
