BMW of Salem customers who are interested in the brand's M Performance models appreciate these vehicles because of their incredible power and road-hugging drivability. While it's one thing to experience the inevitable adrenaline rush that is delivered behind the wheel of a M3, it's also nice to have real data to show just how well it performs.
BMW has made it easy to put M model performance data right in the palm of your hand with a new iPhone app. If your vehicle is equipped with iDrive infotainment, then you can use the M Laptimer to record race times around a track or on a custom map. The app, which is available through the App Store, provides drivers with the following information:
- Throttle
- Braking
- Steering input
- G-force
- RPM
- Fuel economy
The app also allows you to save all recorded data and share them with friends via social media. With a few swipes, your Facebook friends, email contacts, and Twitter followers can view your 'scorecard.' To see this technology in action, view the following YouTube video: http://youtu.be/MpeLbAfiwg8
