  1. Communication Move the Controller forward = "north"): e.g. functions such as telephone, SMS or BMW Assist
  2. Navigation Move the Controller to the right = "east"): e.g. functions such as route, on-board information or address book
  3. Entertainment Slide the controller back = "south"): e.g. functions such as radio, CD or TV
  4. Climate Move the controller to the left = "west"): e.g. functions such as air distribution or heat distribution for seats For more information, refer to «E60, E61, E63, E64, E87, E90, E91 - IDRIVE»(ref-202160-S08930089642006042500000) . There is also an additional fifth menu for selecting the individual user settings.
