Find the Vehicle option in the iDrive menu and click on Driver Configuration. Click on Configuration to set up the driver profile. If an error occurs when adding a driver profile, simply add 86 before the phone number.

Last time I modified the driver profile name on my BMW, I found the whole process quite straightforward, mainly operated through the iDrive system. After starting the vehicle, rotate the central control screen knob to enter the main menu, find the 'Settings' option, and then select 'Driver Profile'. Here, you can see the list of existing profiles, select the name you want to change, click the edit button to input the new name—remember to do this while parked to avoid distractions. After changing, it might synchronize adjustments like seat position or air conditioning preferences, so check if other settings are affected, as the name is linked to personal information. I recommend updating the profile regularly to keep it accurate. BMW's system responds quickly, but occasionally after software updates, the interface might change slightly; just follow the on-screen prompts step by step and you won't go wrong.
