BMW's next generation of EVs, known as the Neue Klasse, will have a boosted visual display. At a CES press conference in Las Vegas Tuesday morning, the German carmaker announced the BMW Panoramic iDrive — a complete overhaul of the current iDrive infotainment system from the operating system to the display screen.

The next generation of BMW ’s iDrive infotainment system is making its global debut this week at the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) in Las Vegas. At technology partner Amazon’s booth, visitors can get an initial impression using a beta version in an X3 crossover.

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.”
