Welcome to the latest edition of BMW Innovation Insights! In this edition of BMW Innovation Insights, presenter Chris Brow takes us to the BMW Group Driving Simulation Centre in Munich – one of the most advanced worldwide. Here, experts and BMW customers test driving dynamics, assistance systems, control concepts and other vehicle functions in the early stages of development. Chris meets project leads Eduard Comulada-Simpson and Joost Venrooij, who give us a behind-the-scenes look at their work and take him on a test drive to tune dampers. The highlight? Chris gets to take the wheel of the centre's largest simulator.

I’ll like it when YouTube actually works!!!

M5ddox · 03-26-2026, 08:13 PM

Someone please fix the app or give a solution. No video ever allows me to directly view it. I think another thread everyone admitted to experiencing the same thing, nobody watches the vids anymore

How they implement all the boring and isolated stuff that ends up in your car.

This is a known issue with YouTube links in the iOS BIMMERPOST app. There’s a fix in the works, but the release of the latest version with the fix has been a bit delayed:

“Hey guys, let’s add another 1000 lbs to the car and see what happens”

must be the most common phrase uttered in the sim room.

Agreed. I always thought he was a good ambassador for the brand. Felt a little betrayed when he briefly jumped ship to MBZ... But hey, I get it, get the bag, I suppose. (-;
