Actually quite different. Tesla's is aft of the cup holders and BMW is forward.Straight-up copy-cats!!!
Yeah. They actually had a pretty good app 5 years ago when the i3 came out.Lol wow that's interesting! Thanks for sharing. Does BMW have a mobile app as well to control the car like (Unlock/Lock, Autostart, Climate etc)
They have better cup holders.
Yes, we should have no doubt where Tesla leads others will follow. Just like with Apple with the iPhone. And everyone of them will want to promote their "feature" like it's the first out there.
One USB connector right near where the coffee/drink cups go. Not so sure that is smart. Does it only have one usb? Also the cupholders look like cheap plastic to me but me.
They do have the option to use your phone as a key for the new 3 series, but in my opinion it is poorly executed. It uses NFC rather than Bluetooth, only works on Android, and you have to physically hold your phone next to the B pillar to unlock.Lol wow that's interesting! Thanks for sharing.

They have many things way better... except for a a fast, somewhat affordable EV and autopilot. Although I've heard that BMW's pro pilot assist or what's called, is pretty smart...
I’m going to beg to differ that the BMW Connected Drive app “works well”. I’ve had a 2014 and now 2017 i3 and the app is one of the worst things about the car. It is slow as molasses to send commands and it fails probably 30% of the time.
Check out the App Store reviews sometime on Connected Drive for a good laugh at how far behind BMW is in this area. The Chevy app is far more reliable and the Tesla app is lightyears better than both in reliability and responsiveness from the car. I’ve leased a 2017 and a 2015 Chevy at one point so I’m very familiar with all 3 brands.
My Connected Drive app has been failing to activate climate control for 2 months straight. After trying to figure it out through forums and troubleshooting I finally called BMW support and they said they had known a server issues for months and they have no ETA on a resolution! How’s that for luxury.
While there was a lot of negative comments about Tesla saying they were going to offer insurance for Teslas, apparently Porsche didn’t think it was a bad idea. Saw this article in Teslarati the other day: Porsche announces Taycan insurance to make US owners' transition to EVs easier
