This kinda reminds me of Forza's corner and drift ratings while going around a track but in a real car, super cool.

I think I'll pass on the M Drive Professional but I can see how it can be nice for those who track their cars often.

1. Does the system use the cameras built into the car or use the phone camera?

2. It would be super cool if they integrate the 360 degree camera capability (typically used for parking) and show top view or even perspective views of the recorded drifts. Now that'll be next level!

I personally don't need a single thing of this.
But if you really want it you can purchase it afterwards, it's just software.

I’m pretty sure it uses your phones camera to record from what he said.

I'm suprised you can't use the camera that's in the front of the rear-view mirror to take footage. I guess the ability to mount your phone is pretty cool (I have a BlackVue 2 channel dash cam so I wouldn't want to do that).

You don't miss the M lap timer, just the drift analyzer within.

Any car with an 11/2020 ID7 version and connected drive (while using an iOS device) I have it in both of my cars now, late 2019 build for both.

These are filmed in portrait view because so many people watch YouTube from their phone, and these are also posted to their IG.

I have updated idrive latest version March 2021 and I have connected package.
But when I open the app on the phone nothing happens on idrive.
Any suggest?
I use CarPlay maybe need to disable?

Do you have the app on the car? You need to start that first. If you do have 3/2021 and don't see the app, hit the options button while hovering over the app store, and select 'Update apps and services'. It should show up shortly after that completes.

and it appears BMW have removed this functionality.. App removed from appstore, got feedback from in app email that BMW M has decommissioned the app..

https://g80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1943165

so disappointed, the 10hz car telemetry and HUD integration was amazing.
