For the BMW i5 G60/G61 (i5 eDrive40, i5 xDrive40, i5 M60, i5 Touring; chassis G60, G61; model years 2023-) our catalogue lists 8 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.

Sounds and chimes (3)
Ready-to-drive sound
When you start the car it plays a sound once it is ready to drive. You can choose between the default and an alternative tone.
On iDrive 8/8.5/9 and newer software levels we first check whether it is possible.
Condition: i5, iDrive 8.5
Choose the signal tone style
Warnings, parking sensors, indicators and phone get a different tone set, for example the newer BMW tones or a MINI variant.
Condition: i5, iDrive 8.5
Switch off artificial engine sound
The extra sound through the speakers can be switched off for a quieter cabin, or back on. Only possible when it was fitted at the factory.
Condition: Check on diagnosis whether the i5 drive sound is affected
Screens and instruments (2)
Video in motion
Videos keep playing on the iDrive screen while the car is moving. Intended for the passenger.
For the passenger only; the driver keeps their eyes on the road.
Condition: iDrive 8.5; software dependent
Digital speed readout
Your speed appears as a number in the instrument cluster. Quick to read at a glance.
Comfort (1)
Mirrors folding on lock
When locking with the key or Comfort Access the mirrors fold in automatically and unfold on unlocking.
Only with electrically folding mirrors.
Electric driving (1)
Pedestrian sound when parking – adjust
When driving electrically the car makes a warning sound for pedestrians. Only the behaviour in park can be adjusted; while driving the sound stays as required.
Legally required system; we agree in the workshop what is possible.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop.
Condition: i5, iDrive 8.5
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.
