Revised Menus: Notes

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 21 other vehicles, including the 2006 BMW Z4, 2006 BMW M3, 2006 BMW M Roadster, 2006 BMW M Coupe, and 2006 BMW 550i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The start menu consists of 4 menus.

The 4 menus on the Central Information Display are situated on intersecting axes in the same way as the 4 points of the compass (viewed in the clockwise direction) as follows:

Communication
Move the Controller forward = "north"): e.g. functions such as telephone, SMS or BMW Assist
Navigation
Move the Controller to the right = "east"): e.g. functions such as route, on-board information or address book
Entertainment
Slide the controller back = "south"): e.g. functions such as radio, CD or TV
Climate
Move the controller to the left = "west"): e.g. functions such as air distribution or heat distribution for seats

For more information, refer to E60, E61, E63, E64, E87, E90, E91 - IDRIVE .

There is also an additional fifth menu for selecting the individual user settings.
Settings (i= Information)
Press Controller in the start menu: e.g. functions such as "Entertainment settings", " Display settings" and "Vehicle settings"

The start menu will always appear when the menu button behind the controller is pressed.

Exceptions to this are the submenus in menu 5: When the Controller is pressed, menu 5 "Settings" is initially called up. If the controller is pressed once more, the start menu is called up.
