The E38 was the first European car to be available with satellite navigation, a system called CARIN jointly developed by BMW and Philips.

The in-car entertainment (radio, audio system, satellite navigation, television and communications systems) are part of an automotive communication system called I-bus.

A "multi-function" steering wheel, with controls for the audio, phone, cruise control and air recirculation, was standard equipment.
