A number of BMW and MINI owners will be able to tune in to their favourite shows and podcasts whenever they wish on the move after the two brands become the first to introduce BBC Sounds as a built-in app.
Owners of selected models running either BMW Operating System 9 or MINI Operating System 9 - and the relevant subscription - will be able to stream content from the BBC Sounds app without the need for a smartphone.
Currently, drivers have to use either Android Auto or Apple CarPlay in order to access the app.
Data usage for streaming BBC Sounds is included in both the BMW Digital Premium and MINI Connected Package, with more than 50,000 vehicles on the road in the UK supporting the app.
"We're proud to make it easier than ever for BMW and MINI customers to enjoy their favourite BBC content on the move," Andrew Furse, BMW Product Operations Manager, said.
"This latest integration complements the wide range of apps already available in our vehicles and underscores our commitment to delivering a seamless in-car entertainment experience."
