Smartphones now allow you to track almost every aspect of your life, whether that is through photos, social networks or apps that can track everyday activities like your morning jog. Working off that last one, what if you want to take your vehicle out on the track and get an in-depth analysis on how you are driving? Well, thanks to BMW there is now an app for that.
For anyone in the Washington D.C. region that has bought an M series vehicle from us here at BMW of Silver Spring there is now a way for you to track your laps on the circuit.
The German automaker released the official M Laptimer App that is compatible with their vehicles that have the most recent infotainment system. Linking the driver's smartphone directly to their vehicle, the app is meant for the M series vehicles, but conveniently can be synched with other BMW cars that have the latest connectivity technology.
On the track this app allows the driver to have real-time statistic updates while they lap a circuit, and upon completion they can use the final stats to analyze their day. The Laptimer calculates throttle, braking input, g-force, steering input, rpm and fuel efficiency, while users also have the ability to create their own track or choose from ones previously mapped.
Those looking to get in a speedy and luxurious M series car should stop by our dealership serving the Silver Spring, Maryland region and check out our inventory of new BMW cars. If you already have one of our vehicles that is compatible with the Laptimer app download it today and let us know what you think.
