What is new in the Driver Profile (i.e., user) concept for BMW Operating System 9?

In vehicles equipped with BMW Operating System 9, there are several types of Driver Profiles that can be used, with each Driver Profile type having specific functionality. The default profile, “Guest”, contains the least functionality and no settings made when using the profile are stored for future use. Choosing the “Driver” profile allows for settings to be saved to the vehicle, however there is no link to a BMW ID with this profile. Linking a BMW ID to a “Primary user” or “Secondary user” profile will add the vehicle to that BMW ID, save vehicle settings, and allow app features to be used. One “Primary user” can be defined per BMW Operating System 9, which will have the added benefit of administering functions such as ConnectedDrive Store purchases, user administration, BMW Digital Key, and more.
