What are the benefits of logging in to the vehicle with a BMW ID?

In BMW ConnectedDrive countries, the BMW ID is the personal login for all relevant offers from the BMW brand. The BMW ID can be used in the vehicle to store and activate personal vehicle settings in a driver profile. The vehicle can store seven BMW IDs. If a vehicle is used by several people, each person can use their own BMW ID in the vehicle. Other driver profiles can be used when operating the vehicle without a BMW ID, e.g. the guest driver profile. The BMW ID must be registered once. Registration can be done on the My BMW App, in the ConnectedDrive customer portal, or at an authorized service center. Automatic driver recognition can activate a BMW ID as soon as the vehicle is unlocked. To do so, a vehicle key or digital key must be linked to the BMW ID. Many saved settings can be synchronized with the BMW Cloud. This makes these settings available in any vehicle where the same BMW ID is used to log in.
