BMW Group NEXTGen Innovation Topics - Driving Simulator Marion Mangold

How consequently the BMW Group treads new paths is shown among other things by its cooperations. For the complex requirements of the BMW iX for example, previous engineering tools were no longer sufficient. This was one of the reasons why BMW contacted Epic Games as early as 2015 and shortly afterwards became the first automobile manufacturer to introduce a mixed reality system in vehicle development that was consistently developed using components from the computer games industry. It is based on the so-called Unreal Engine 4 from Epic Games.
