BMW owners get special feature for National Day 2025

From 1 to 31 August 2025, BMW Asia has given its Singaporean drivers a special surprise: In commemoration of Singapore's 60^th and BMW Group Asia's 40^th anniversary, a specially designed festive animation can be played on the vehicle display.

This animation is accompanied by a festive background track and uniquely orchestrated ambient lighting sequence in red and white. BMW owners across Singapore with suitably equipped vehicles* will see this greeting simply by clicking on the custom icon available on the BMW iDrive system.

BMW Group Asia has said that this exclusive greeting is meant as a celebration of national pride, shared progress, and its enduring partnership with the city state

The animation begins in black and white with a BMW i7, inspired by the recent BMW i7 Singapore Icons, driving across Anderson Bridge. As the i7 drives past buildings and shophouses that were built prior to 1965, they go from black and white to colour.

The next scene showcases - on the BMW i7's windscreen and panoramic glass roof - the reflection of the Changi Control Tower and a plane passing by. The day turns to dusk, whilst illustrating the Merlion at the Singapore River, and dusk turns to night, with the BMW i7 driving past the Gardens by the Bay Supertrees.

The final scene shows the city backdrop with five icons that are visible on Singapore's city skyline - The Singapore Flyer, Gardens by the Bay Supertrees, Marina Bay Sands, ArtScience Museum and Merlion - and ends off with "Happy Birthday Singapore".

*Available only to BMW's Singaporean owners that have BMW ConnectedDrive capabilities and BMW OS 7, 8, 8.5, and 9
