bmw to relase ground breaking app!

BMW has announced a new iPhone app for owners of BMW motorcycles. Motorrad-i is an app that allows you to communicate with your bike and vice versa. While the app is specifically designed for 2015 models that will have a more comprehensive suite of sensors, it will also work with 2012-2014 models in a limited capacity.

Motorrad-i or Mi is a comprehensive human-to-bike-to-human communication application that, when properly configured will allow the rider to communicate directly with their machine as if they were communicating with a human. A natural voice Siri-like interface will be available later this summer which will allow you to name your motorcycle and assign gender to it. It will also have a full complement of intelligence including human and gps. With full Bluetooth compatibility and internet access, a rider could carry on hours of conversation with the app in a male or female voice selected from a wide range of voices encompassing many racial and ethnic backgrounds.

Mi will also have the full BMW service manual available and loaded and also available through the voice communication so your bike can actually guide you through maintenance or inform you of anything that is about to fail. Your bike will even text you if it hasn t been ridden in a while and the battery needs charged.

Mi has a personal mode setting where the bike will call or text you for no reason at all other than to communicate and will be able to track you with the Find Friends app if enabled. So be careful when lusting after motorcycles at dealerships while your Beemer sits in the garage.  Nothing is worse than a jealous BMW.

The Mi app will be available from the Apple App store in early May. The non-voice app will be priced at $7.99 while the natural voice version priced at $11.99. There are no plans for an Android version at this time.
