You will be able to control BMW i3 Via Smartphone

While the BMW i8 will be getting sports car fans hot under the collar, the all-electric BMW i3 may be the most significant, and it's this car that BMW is previewing with a new app, as seen on the BMW i Facebook page.

The application-based integration of mobile devices in the context of BMW ConnectedDrive in the BMW i3 will go well beyond what we know now: Charging, thermal preconditioning, locking and unlocking the car - you will be able to control many different aspects via your smartphone.

The app previews levels of smartphone-car integration way beyond anything we've seen so far. Charging status and range can be displayed, as with many current electric car apps, but you can also program routes into the car and when you'll be driving them - a bit like an electronic route diary.
