BMW 5 Series: User Interface

BMW 5 Series G30 2016-2024 Training Manual / Displays and Controls / User Interface

Introduction

The G30 contains a new user interface. It is referred to as the ID6 (BMW iDrive of the 6th generation).

Marketing refers to the user interface of the G30 as the "New Interface Design".

The user interface of the G12 is referred to as the ID5. Although they have the same head unit (HU- H2), the vehicles have a different user interface. The breakdown of the individual menus is identical to the user interface of the G12.
