BMW\u2019s design has stood out over the years, thanks to a series of iconic elements which stood the test of time. From the kidney grille and double headlamps to the shark nose and the Hofmeister Kink<\/a>, BMWs have always been instantly recognizable on the street. Yet, there\u2019s one design cue that\u2019s often overlooked: the driver-oriented dashboard. But did you know when BMW started incorporating this feature in their cars?<\/p>\n

Back in 1975, BMW made a bold move with the launch of the E21<\/a>, the first-ever 3 Series. It wasn\u2019t just the car\u2019s sporty look or nimble handling that caught people\u2019s attention\u2014it was something inside the cabin that quietly changed everything. For the first time, BMW angled the dashboard and center console toward the driver. It was subtle, but it spoke volumes about the kind of experience BMW wanted to create: The Ultimate Driving Machine.<\/p>\n

Built For The Driver<\/h2>\n

E30 Interior<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Think about it: the way a car\u2019s interior is laid out says a lot about who it\u2019s built for. By tilting the controls and displays toward the driver, BMW wasn\u2019t just making a car easier to use; they were looking to differentiate themselves from Mercedes-Benz as well. BMW honed on the idea that the E21 3 Series wasn\u2019t just a car getting you from point A to point B, this was a car made for the sheer joy of driving. The E21 3 Series put the driver at the center of the experience, ensuring every button, every gauge, and every control felt like it was made just for them.<\/p>\n

Sorry, co-driver\u2014but not really sorry!<\/p>\n

But the driver-oriented dashboard wasn\u2019t just about convenience. That simple angled dashboard was BMW\u2019s way of saying, \u201cHey, we get it. You love driving, and so do we.\u201d It created a connection between the driver and the car, making the cabin feel like a cockpit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Over the years, that unique design cue became a signature for BMW. It evolved, of course. Even though today, you\u2019ll see plenty of screens inside, the essence of the driver-oriented dashboard remains in most models. For example, the latest generation 6 Series which came out in 2010 featured one of the most driver-oriented dashboards.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

At the time, BMW said the idea was to feel as low and seamless as possible with the car,\u00a0 creating a smooth flow between the exterior and interior. This approach emphasized a driver-oriented layout, with a focus on making the driver\u2019s space distinct from the passenger\u2019s comfort area.<\/p>\n

Will this design survive in the Neue Klasse models, or will BMW reinterpret this iconic design cue? Only time will tell. One thing is certain, though: the new iDrive X<\/a> has already given us a glimpse of a display angled toward the driver.<\/p>\n
