Whether you’d like listening to your favorite albums or would rather watch a TV show or movie, as a passenger in a BMW you are always cherished with multiple attractive options. Traveling in the rear seats of a high-end bimmer has never more fun. The optional Rear Seat Entertainment, which costs well over 2,000 euros in Germany, gives you the needed freedom to spend quality time in the car.

Here you can choose from two options: Theater Mode, which means the sound from the Rear Seat Entertainment system will be channeled via the car’s speakers and the media content will be available for anyone in the car to hear; and Individual entertainment, which lets you choose an individual and different content for each of the two rear-seat display.
The media source in the front can also be shared with the passengers in the rear: both, right or left. Simply access the desired entertainment collection, like music albums, and then press Share button. The rear-seat passengers can also control if they want to allow the sharing process.
