For the BMW 5 Series G60/G61 (5 Series Sedan, 5 Series Touring, i5, i5 Touring, M5; chassis G60, G61, G90, G99; model years 2023+) our catalogue lists 12 features in 5 categories. Below you see per category what we can switch on or retrofit.
Each feature shows how certain we are: “likely possible” means several independent sources confirm it; “checked at diagnosis” means it differs from car to car. Final compatibility is always confirmed at the diagnosis of your car.
Seven Tuning works in Rotterdam and Waddinxveen: the workshop is in Waddinxveen and serves Rotterdam and the surrounding area. Remote coding works anywhere in the Netherlands and abroad, when the job allows it.

Screens and instruments (5)
Video in motion
Videos from USB or TV keep playing on the central display while driving instead of stopping above walking pace. Nice for the passenger on long trips.
Intended for the passenger only; the driver keeps their eyes on the road.
Condition: iDrive 8/8.5 (ID8/ID8.5): coding access depends on the I-level; check on diagnosis
Digital speed in the cluster
Your speed appears as a number in the instrument cluster, even without a head-up display. Easy to read at a glance.
Condition: iDrive 8/8.5 (ID8/ID8.5): coding access depends on the I-level; check on diagnosis
Sport displays: power, torque and G-meter
The central display shows live power, torque and g-forces. Fun to see what the car is doing, especially on sporty models.
Condition: iDrive 8/8.5 (ID8/ID8.5): coding access depends on the I-level; check on diagnosis
M start animation on the iDrive screen
When you get in, the central display plays a different start animation, such as the M version. Gives the car a sportier welcome.
Condition: iDrive 8/8.5 (ID8/ID8.5): coding access depends on the I-level; check on diagnosis
Needle sweep at start-up
At start-up the digital needles sweep to full scale and back once. A sporty greeting like on race cars.
Condition: iDrive 8/8.5 (ID8/ID8.5): coding access depends on the I-level; check on diagnosis
Convenience (4)
Close windows and roof with the key
Holding the lock button on the key closes all windows and the sunroof, and can open them when unlocking. Ideal after a hot day.
Condition: iDrive 8/8.5 (ID8/ID8.5): coding access depends on the I-level; check on diagnosis
Comfort indicator flashes more often
One tap on the indicator stalk flashes the indicators five times instead of three. Nicer when changing lanes on the motorway.
Condition: iDrive 8/8.5 (ID8/ID8.5): coding access depends on the I-level; check on diagnosis
Start-stop – remember last setting
The car remembers whether you switched start-stop off, so you do not have to press the button every trip. On newer petrol software we choose an alternative via the driving mode together.
Options depend on the software version; we discuss the setting beforehand.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop.
Condition: iDrive 8/8.5 (ID8/ID8.5): coding access depends on the I-level; check on diagnosis
Register a new battery
After replacing the battery, the new one is registered with its capacity and type, so the car charges it correctly and it lasts longer.
Condition: iDrive 8/8.5 (ID8/ID8.5): coding access depends on the I-level; check on diagnosis
Driver assistance (1)
Speed limit assist – set up
Cruise control can adopt the recognised speed limit with one press of a button. How the assistant behaves is agreed together.
Assistance system: we discuss the setting in the workshop.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop.
Condition: iDrive 8/8.5 (ID8/ID8.5): coding access depends on the I-level; check on diagnosis
Lighting (1)
Anti-dazzle high beam
The high beam stays on and only masks the part where oncoming or preceding traffic is. You see more without dazzling others.
Mainly relevant for imported cars; only with adaptive LED or laser headlights.
Condition: Adaptive/Matrix LED; iDrive 8/8.5 (ID8/ID8.5): coding access depends on the I-level; check on diagnosis
Safety (1)
Seatbelt reminder – adjust
The seatbelt reminder behaviour can be adjusted, for example for the passenger seat when carrying luggage. The exact setting is agreed together.
Safety function: we discuss the setting in the workshop.
