Abstract :
The market success of vehicles is highly affected by electronic components and functional possibilities. The acceptance by the customers clearly depends on the performance and reliability of electronics. Regarding the increasing volume, functional and ergonomic aspects have to be selected and developped very carefully, as well as new technologies and constructive concepts must be applied. The new 7´ SERIES BMW represents a remarkable result in this trend.
