The Professional navigation system comes with an 80 GB hard disc saving
all navigation data. Fitted permanently within the car, this data system serves

MP3 player or a USB stick, using the storage capacity available for this
purpose on the hard disc of more than 12 GB.

of the Rear Seat Entertainment system. These systems comprise a DVD
player, remote control, the option to connect external MP3 players, game
consoles and headsets as well as two high-resolution displays integrated in
the front-seat headrests and adjustable for angle. This allows direct access
to all audio and video sources within the car, such as a DVD changer or
the TV function.
The displays featured at the rear measure 8 inches across in the standard
version and 9.2 inches on the Professional Rear Seat Entertainment system
also allowing individual access to the navigation system as well as full use
of the internet at the rear with the help of BMW ConnectedDrive. A further
option is to use the displays in the Professional Rear Seat Entertainment
system independently of one another, allowing the two passengers at the
rear to enjoy entirely different functions at the same time.
