Facts

  • The G20 shared its show premiere at the 2018 Paris Motor Show with the other launch models, the X5, 8 Series and Z4.[2][1]
  • Live Cockpit Professional pairs the digital cluster with a 10.25-inch iDrive 7 display, which supports over-the-air updates and a voice assistant woken by 'Hey BMW'.[1][2]
  • The Curved Display merges the 12.3-inch information display and the 14.9-inch control display into one unit, running Operating System 8.[3]
  • The facelift cockpit relies on touch and voice in place of most buttons; climate settings are made on the touchscreen or by voice.[3]
