Munich. BMW is surprising its customers in their BMW
this holiday season with two festive animations for Christmas and the
new year. Festive music will play with atmospheric ambient lighting
accompanying the festive message inside the car. An app icon with a
Christmas hat on the BMW Control Display will appear from 22 December
once the vehicle has been started, signalling the approaching festive
season. Clicking the icon will start the BMW Happy Holiday Festive
Animation, available until 26 December. Christmassy images will
illuminate the Control Displays, a festive melody will play and an
ambient light show will create an atmospheric feel in the interior.
On New Year’s Eve, a second animation will mark the turn of
the year
From 31 December onwards, another app symbol in the
Control Display with a stylised firework will celebrate the new year.
There is also a New Year’s message from BMW, also with festive music
and an ambient light show in the vehicle. The driver can play both
animations as often as they like during the festive season by clicking
on the app icon.More and more customers around the world will see the
personalised festive greetings in their BMW with each passing year.
This year, 48 BMW markets are already transmitting the New Year’s
message to over 2.6 million BMW vehicles. To display the festive
animations, the vehicles need to have the appropriate optional
equipment and a BMW iDrive with Operating System 7 or Operating System
