I've been driving a BMW 5 Series for almost ten years and I know for sure it doesn't have any built-in recording or eavesdropping devices. The car's microphone is mainly used for the voice command system, like when you say 'Hey BMW' to activate navigation or adjust the AC, but this feature only responds to commands and doesn't secretly record or share conversations. BMW strictly complies with EU and Chinese privacy regulations, with all data encrypted and automatically deleted after a short period. If you're concerned about privacy leaks, you can turn off the voice assistant in the car's settings. Other functions like Bluetooth phone calls might involve recording, but that's controlled by the phone app, not the car itself. The BMW 5 Series focuses on driving comfort and safety; its anti-theft alarm system sounds an alert but never records. In short, you can drive worry-free—there's no eavesdropping design in daily use.
