The new "Hey BMW" will blow your mind!
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com I am hoping this is something that can be retrofitted to the 2020 models via future software updates.

Can't wait to try it out for myself. I sure hope that you're right and maybe it's available via an update!

I just don’t get this sort of feature in a car. Same with gesture control.
Literally you have to press one easy to use button and the window goes down. Not only that, I can’t see “hey Bmw” dropping the window 3 inches. Just more pointless tech to distract us from the diluted driving experience and muted sounds of modern cars.

I've called my BMW Assistant terrible, terrible names... she never understands me, it's very irritating.

Yeah the gesture control... i have to say I originally thought was a totally useless gimmick and a complete joke.
Now I shamefully find myself using it on a daily basis.....

Same boat. I thought it would be something cute to show a passenger but I’d never actually use it but when drivinG it’s really natural to twirl up or down... I really don’t think about it. For whatever reason it’s never been as natural for me on the steering wheel, I still reached for the knob but have noticed I don’t now.

When you say text notifications, are you having it read them off to you or just tell you who it's from and whatnot? Also are you using it for voice-to-text to reply?

I actually haven't tried replying using voice-to-text, and I don't really use it in any capacity (even just over my phone while not driving)... for some reason I have issues talking in text and always screw up my response... if that makes sense.... So I always just prefer to type my responses when I get a chance.

I’m in the gesture control is useless camp.
Same as the hands free boot opening..... standing there waving your foot under the rear bumper like some kind of idiot singing the Hokie Kokie song to themselves |

I can use my BMW for initiating a call and it will be right 70% of the time, but most people I call are saved in my HUD so I just use that 99% of the time. Good thing this car drives so good or I would be disappointed enough by the tech and systems to not want another one. It DOES excel at being a SUV that drives like a car though - which is exactly why I bought it.

I use the assistant and gesture control every time I drive pretty much. Never thought I would care to use it (heck I don't use Siri on my iPhone) but it's so much easier to do a few commonly used task (turn AC on/off, gesture control to mute, and volume control up and down, etc).

Be better if there were in cabin odor sensors that detected farts and opened the windows automatically

What the hell is going on?
Holy crap! How is this useful?!? It's a press of a button.
Seriously BMW get your s**t together! Next brilliant idea remove all buttons from cabin. If only they would put this energy on things that mattered.... sigh...
