This isn’t the first time that BMW has teased the new heads-up display called BMW Panoramic iDrive. The company showed off a version of it at CES 2023 in the iVision Dee concept, and it’s all part of the new platform called BMW Operating System X.

BMW revealed its new Panoramic iDrive system, including windshield-length display, and BMW Operating System X on Tuesday during the CES tech show.

The terminology, in typical Germanic fashion, is a little confusing. The entire system is called "Panoramic iDrive," with “Panoramic Vision” being the funky horizontal band display across the whole dash; meanwhile, the all-new software the whole enchilada runs on is named “BMW Operating System X.”

Dubbed BMW Operating System X, this new system integrates a panoramic screen projected on the windshield, with a lower media screen that can be used as a touch-based controller. The new BMW Panoramic iDrive will debut before the end of 2025 with the introduction of the Neue Klasse generation of BMWs.

This is a big moment, folks: BMW has revealed its all-new iDrive infotainment system at CES in Las Vegas, and it represents a complete rethink on how to weave tech into a car. Starting from scratch; a clean slate; hitting Ctrl+Alt+Del on the past. Buckle up, because sacrifices have been made.
