The art of design.
BMW believes in the potency of ideas. From high-performance
engines to advanced handling technologies, many of our greatest
concepts begin at desks, on printouts or in blueprints. But an idea
doesnt have to start on paper to be powerful or inspiring.

At the BMW Museum in Munich, there is a kinetic sculpture that
immediately catches the eye with its complexity and beauty. No less
than metal balls continually align and then realign themselves in
ever-shifting patterns some abstract, some in the familiar contours
of a BMW vehicle. The sculpture serves as a perfect representation
of our approach to design: it is this same uid concept of beauty that
we apply to our vehicles, even from the earliest stages. And like the
sculpture, each component of our design concept must be in place
in order to create a cohesive, unied whole. Like a team of artists, our
designers work together to shape their vision using models, sketches
and even discussions. Its a complex process that yields a truly unique
product: a new BMW design.

The BMW Series Sedan a winning combination of elegance,
sportiness and luxury captures this principle beautifully. With its
timeless prole with contours that impress, the gracefully chiseled
body of the BMW Series expresses the essence of BMW design.
But it is not simply a supercial attraction. Youll nd equal attention to
detail has been paid to the entire vehicle. The cabin serves as a master
class in functional comfort, from the Black Panel Display technology
that awakens to glowing life at the press of the Start button, to the
Parking Assistant feature that selects and then helps pilot you into
parking spaces. Under the hood, BMWs TwinPower Turbo engines
have become more fuel efcient, giving you even more reasons to
keep driving longer. Each of these aspects is compelling on its own.
Incorporated into a single, symphonic whole, the result is no less than
class-leading. The BMW Series Sedan resets the standards. Its a
difference that rewards drivers, passengers and onlookers alike.

BMW EfcientDynamics has kept us moving toward one constant goal: our unwavering commitment to achieving
maximum power and efciency with minimum emissions. This compels us to create the most efcient models
possible from powerful, lightweight engines to aerodynamic tail ends, and every part in between. For example,
our Brake Energy Regeneration technology harnesses the kinetic energy normally wasted when coasting and
stopping. This energy is stored in the vehicles battery, where it is available for running electrical components.
As a result, the engine does less work, saving fuel and reducing emissions. Its just one more way BMW is moving
forward to make driving as enjoyable and efcient as possible.

At BMW, bold artistic statements are reinforced in even the smallest details. In this case, numerous supporting technologies help you make
the most out of every ounce of this masterpieces power and grace. Take, for example, BMWs Electric Power Steering (EPS). Enhancing
both precision and comfort, the EPS system relies on an electric motor, as opposed to conventional mechanical systems, to provide
assistance during steering maneuvers on an as-needed basis only. Once steering wheel movement ceases, such as when cruising,
energy consumption from this innovative system is reduced to zero. So you can drive exactly as you intend with poise and precision.
A BMW SHOULD
ALWAYS RADIATE
DYNAMISM.
Adrian van Hooydonk, Head of BMW Group Design, invited
us to join him on an exclusive test drive. An interview with
the expert about the design of the BMW Series Sedan.
Interview: Jan-Kirsten Biener
Captions: Brian Finally
Adrian van Hooydonk, what do you personally nd so special
about the BMW 5 Series Sedan? This BMW 5 Series reveals at
a glance exactly what you can expect to experience inside. Its the
perfect t, like a suit thats made to order and the BMW 5 Series
suits any occasion. No matter if youre on business, on vacation or
driving around town, youre always dressed right, with a sure sense
of style.
At BMW, the 5 Series invariably has a special part to play.
How do you see the role of this series in the current BMW
portfolio? The 5 Series is the brands core product. The BMW
5 Series Sedan has the longest pedigree in the range and, for that
reason alone, it holds a special place in our corporate history. As
always, this BMW 5 Series demonstrates the perfect combination
of sportiness and elegance.
Were these the two primary characteristics you were after in
your design? Lets say thats why the design of the BMW 5 Series
features very dynamic lines at the front and rear, while the side view
has a stretched and timeless look to it.
The way we see it, youve implemented three design concepts
in a single car. Would you agree? The observer always sees a car
as a whole. Every BMW expresses a high degree of sportiness and
elegance, with the mixture varying from one series to the next. For
me, the BMW 5 Series is the epitome of the sporty business sedan.
While it clearly belongs to the large sedan class, at the same time it
has its own distinctive looks, based on the three primary characteris-
tics that you referred to: the charismatic appeal of the front end, the
stylish elegance of the side view, and the natural, authentic sportiness
of the rear. Those were indeed the specications for this model, and
Id say theyre all readily identiable in the nished product.
Adrian van Hooydonk, Head of BMWGroup Design,
describes the BMW Series Sedan.
Exterior designer Jacek Frhlich
gets to work on his design model.
You put great emphasis on the dynamism of this model. But
how sporty can a BMW5 Series Sedan be? A BMW must always
be an expression of dynamics and motion! The 5 Series in particular
appeals to customers who love driving, including long distances, and
really appreciate the typical driving dynamics of a BMW. The propor-
tions are clearly dened by the heritage of BMW sedans: short over-
hangs, long wheelbase, a long hood and the cockpit set well back.
It seems you like working with lines. The door handles, for
example, meld into the seam lines. The primary measures of
BMWs design language are proportion and volume. Its only at
second glance that the lines that delineate the spaces become visible.
Inside, youve opted, in general, for clearly dened spaces,
with clean lines and no unnecessary frills. Whats the reason-
ing behind that? The interior, too, has to speak of dynamics and
elegance. Our idea was to express this through smoothly owing
lines across the instrument panel and doors.
How do you manage to create an interior with such a modern
atmosphere? First and foremost, by ensuring that the exterior and
interior form a harmonious whole and just like on the outside, the
closer you look inside the BMW 5 Series, the more innovations you
discover. For example, theres the momentum of the two lines on
the instrument panel thats carried over onto the passenger side
something that only strikes you at second glance. Or the way the
trim panel transitions from the instrument panel to the door, with a
chrome-color highlight. Its the sum of these detailed renements
that explains the appeal of the BMW 5 Series interior.
The headlights are capped with a strip of frosted glass that
looks like an eyebrow, while the taillights have a pronounced
L-shape. Why did you go for these visuals? Our night design,
as we call it, ensures that the BMW 5 Series can be clearly identied
as a BMW even in the dark. Thats why, at the front, we chose to
have the eyebrows lend a slightly angular look to the round twin
headlights. The L-shape of the taillights builds a bridge between
tradition and progress. The Corona headlight-rings are also available
with state-of-the-art LED technology.
Were there any areas where you deliberately wanted to set this
model apart from its predecessor? This time around, we have
designed a very upright kidney grille. In fact, weve gone back to giving
it a slight forward angle. This shows, on the one hand, how rmly rooted
we are in our own design history. On the other hand, it underpins the
sporty character of this model. Overall, the latest BMW 5 Series Sedan
looks a touch lower and wider than its predecessor which means it
looks even more dynamic.
The kidney grille is particularly wide and striking in this model.
Why is that? Well, of course the kidney grille is not just a design
element, its also an important air inlet. But in the current BMW
5 Series the design of the kidney grille has one primary purpose.
It says, This is one sporty sedan!
Thank you very much for this exclusive interview! It was a
pleasure talking to you.

BMW EFFICIENT DYNAMICS:
VEHICLES THAT REQUIRE LITTLE AND GIVE A LOT.
BMW was one of the rst automotive manufacturers to pursue efcient driving technologies one part of our award-winning sustainability strategy.
Our commitment to EfcientDynamics means we are continuously developing innovative systems that bring us closer to our long-term goal of
emissions-free mobility. However, we remain equally committed to driving pleasure, which is being pursued in different ways. First, there is the
con tinuing optimization of conventional diesel- and gasoline-powered models. Second, BMW hybrid vehicles are already on the road. Third, the
rst % electrically powered BMW the BMW ActiveE is being distributed in a eld trial to customers. And fourth, the eet of BMW Hydrogen
vehicles impressively demonstrated the potential for combining hydrogen drive with a combustion engine.
Since BMW has been able to reduce the CO emissions of its entire eet by approximately percent. BMW has rolled out more than
two million vehicles equipped with EfcientDynamics: models already produce less than g of CO per mile, and BMW intends to achieve a
further percent reduction by . BMW EfcientDynamics represents the most comprehensive package of innovative technologies currently
in production, for reducing fuel consumption and emissions while simultaneously creating The Ultimate Driving Machine.

Different paths to the same destination: unmistakable BMW driving pleasure.
In early BMW launched its rst production models with hybrid drive: the BMW ActiveHybrid and the BMW ActiveHybrid X. Both models
offer an unparalleled combination of increased fuel efciency, reduced emissions and thrilling performance. The BMW ActiveE, with its innovative
% electric drive system, introduces a whole new form of dynamic performance, paving the way for the future of emissions-free mobility. Finally,
a completely new vehicle concept targeted at meeting the need for sustainable mobility in fast-growing metropolitan areas will soon become reality:
the BMW i.
BMW Vision EfcientDynamics: Vision becomes reality.
In BMW plans to debut the BMW Vision EfcientDynamics
test model a + sports car featuring groundbreaking plug-in
hybrid technology that combines sports-car performance with
compact-class consumption. Powered by the latest-generation,
full-hybrid system, the vehicle in concept form generates a total
of hp through a -hp, three-cylinder turbo diesel engine with
lb-ft of torque, as well as a hybrid synchronous engine on the
front axle and fully hybrid drive system on the rear axle. With a range
of up to miles, its ratio of performance to fuel consumption is
without equal, positioning BMWas the worlds leading manufacturer
of exceptionally efcient, sporty vehicles.

EFFICIENT DYNAMICS INITIATIVE AT A GLANCE.
High Precision Direct Injection.
In this latest-generation direct fuel injection system, the piezo injectors
are positioned very close to the spark plugs. They inject fuel at high
pressure, with extreme precision, for very efcient combustion.
BMW TwinPower Turbo technology.
This innovative turbocharging technology efciently reclaims the energy
contained in exhaust gases, using two turbochargers (i and i xDrive)
or using a twin-scroll charger (i, i xDrive, i and i xDrive).
Valvetronic.
BMWs Valvetronic valve control system improves engine response and
renement, while also helping to reduce fuel consumption. The system
helps the engine breathe better by providing fully variable lift adjustment
of the inlet valves.
-speed STEPTRONIC automatic transmission.
The close spacing of gear ratios in this -speed automatic transmission
makes maximum use of the optimum rev range, reducing fuel consump-
tion and allowing smoother shifts.
Auto Start-Stop function.
Even when idling, such as at a stop sign, an engine burns fuel. BMWs
Auto Start-Stop function enhances fuel efciency by switching off
the engine. (The intelligent electronics system rst checks the battery
charge level and calculates if other electric systems, like the heated
rear windshield, need more energy.) Once the brake pedal is released,
the engine starts up again almost instantly. A Start-Stop signal in the
display indicates the function is active.
Brake Energy Regeneration.
In vehicles with Brake Energy Regeneration, the alternator generates
electricity only when the driver takes his or her foot off the accelerator.
Kinetic energy that was previously unharnessed is transformed into
electrical energy, then fed into the battery. In this way, electricity is
generated without consuming fuel.
Electric Power Steering.
Unlike conventional, hydraulic steering systems, Electric Power Steering
draws power only during actual steering movements. When the steering
wheel position is con stant, the electric motor is inactive.
Not all BMWEfcientDynamics features are available on all models.
Please see your authorized BMWcenter for details.

Integral Active Steering.
With Integral Active Steering, at
speeds up to mph, a small
turn of the steering wheel yields
a greater turn of the front wheels
for more direct response. It also
steers the rear wheels up to .
degrees in the opposite direction,
giving the effect of a shortened
wheelbase for enhanced maneu-
verability. When changing lanes at
speeds over mph, both front
and rear wheels turn in the same
direction, giving the feel of an
extended wheelbase. While you
experience greater responsiveness
and directional stability, your pas-
sengers enjoy greater ride comfort
from reduced body roll.
Active Roll Stabilization.
When taking corners, the vehicles
body tends to roll, affecting han-
dling. Active Roll Stabilization
(ARS) twists special two-piece
anti-roll bars to generate stronger
resistance to body roll, keeping
the vehicle more level and provid-
ing maximum stability and agility.
Dynamic Damping Control (DDC),
on the other hand, instantly adjusts
shock absorbers from the softest
to the rmest settings. The result
is exceptional ride comfort and
uid handling at all times during
changes in vehicle speed, load
or road and driving conditions.
Driving Dynamics Control.
When equipped with the -speed
Sport Automatic transmission, you
can adjust the Series Sedans
driving characteristics by pressing
a button. Choose from three set-
tings: NORMAL, SPORT and SPORT+,
to adjust engine-throttle response,
transmission shift characteristics
and power-steering assist. In addi-
tion, the traction control feature
can be disengaged when driving
on sand, gravel, or deep or packed
snow.
The BMW Series Sedan offers a host of innovative performance-enhancing
technologies as well as active and passive safety features that help you get the
most pleasure out of every drive.
BMW xDRIVE INTELLIGENT ALL-WHEEL DRIVE:
THE POWER TO MASTER ANYTHING
THAT CROSSES YOUR PATH.
xDrive intelligent
all-wheel-drive system.
The BMW i xDrive, i xDrive
and i xDrive all deliver maximum
traction, even in the most slippery
road conditions. BMWs xDrive
intelligent all-wheel-drive system
monitors data such as engine
speed, steering angle, wheel
speeds and acceleration. On
smooth, dry roads, more power
is normally sent to the rear axle,
giving vehicles with xDrive the feel
of their rear-wheel-drive counter-
parts. But hit a wet uphill curve,
for instance, and even before
wheelspin can occur, the system
immediately recognizes any need
for a change in power distribution.
Using a controlled clutch, it sends
more torque to the front axle to
enhance stability and achieve
greater traction.
-speed Sport Automatic
transmission.
Enjoy quick, comfortable gear shifts,
using the gear selector lever or
steer ing wheel-mounted gear shift
paddles. The close spacing of the
eight gears optimizes acceleration
while improving efciency and
shift comfort.
Dynamic Stability Control
(DSC).
DSC helps to stabilize the BMW
Series Sedan in just milliseconds
when it senses an impending skid.
When ever the system senses
over- or understeer, it modulates
engine power and can apply brakes
indi vidually to each wheel to help
keep the vehicle under control and
going in the intended direction.
For sportier driving or in deep snow,
Dynamic Traction Control (DTC)
allows increased wheelslip.
Passive safety.
In the event of a collision, the
Sedans safety system determines
which of six airbags to deploy for
optimal protection. An extremely
rigid steel safety cage surrounds
the cabin, with deformable crush
tubes front and rear. In a severe
crash, impact energy is routed
around the cabin and absorbed
by the safety cage. In a severe side
impact, a reinforcing bar hooks
the door to the body, locking them
together to make a more rigid pas-
senger cell. When the pressure is
released, the system is designed
to snap back so that the doors
can open.

BMW ConnectedDrive 36 37
Every minute, it seems, technological advances allow
greater connectivity and interactivity between vehicles,
consumer electronics, the internet and the driver.
At BMW, electronic systems will never replace the thrill
of driving but they do enhance the driving experience.
Take, for example, Automatic high beams that optimize
nighttime visibility while making sure oncoming trafc
isnt dazzled. A Navigation system that helps you plan
your route and avoid trafc jams, and stores your
favorite music. TeleService, part of BMW Assist,
checks your BMWs operating uids and wear items
and when they need replacing, it automatically noties
your authorized BMW center. Not to mention a staff of
response specialists and Concierges, there at the touch
of a but ton, dedicated to assisting you every moment
youre on the road. No matter where you go, in a BMW,
youre connected with the world.
BMW ConnectedDrive
In touch with your world.
CONNECTED DRIVE:
BMWS INTELLIGENT NETWORK
OF DRIVER, CAR AND ENVIRONMENT.
In dark, unlit areas,
Automatic high beams
give me all the light I need
without dazzling oncoming drivers.
Automatic high beams let you enjoy the convenience of switching
between high and low beams automatically. When the Automatic high
beams system is activated, an image sensor at the back of the rear-view
mirror monitors oncoming trafc and lighting conditions. Based on this
data, the system decides whether or not the high beams should be
switched on. When it detects vehicles ahead, or the sensor indicates that
ambient light is sufcient, the high beams are automatically switched off.
BMWs on-board Navigation system uses Global Positioning System
(GPS) satellites and data stored on an internal hard drive to guide you
to your destination, which is displayed on a .-inch high-resolution
screen. Features include -D daytime and nighttime maps, zoom,
travel planner, and an Assistance Window. The system also offers
Voice command for convenient, hands-free operation, and GB of
storage for your favorite media les. Online Information Services include
MyInfo, which allows Google Maps destinations to be sent to your
vehicle, as well as BMW Online when your vehicle is also equipped
with BMW Assist Con veni ence Services.
Real Time Trafc Information is a valuable feature, included with the
Navigation system, that makes you aware of trafc congestion in most
large cities before you encounter it. This feature displays and describes
current local trafc information on your Control Display; in case of delays
greater than ve minutes, it suggests alternate routes.
BMW Night Vision

with Pedestrian Detection helps you avoid

dangerous situations by recognizing them sooner. With this feature,
an infrared camera in the front bumper scans up to feet ahead,
detecting people and animals and the direction of their movement,
up to feet away. The camera images are shown in the Control
Display and, if so equipped, on the Head-up Display. Pedestrian
Detection also gives a visual warning to indicate any people or animals
that are moving close to the road.

Night Vision performance is limited by rain, fog, humidity and other weather conditions.

Six technical questions 40 41
Head-up Display.
When I am in the middle of rush-hour trafc,
I dont want to take my eyes off the road, even
for a second. Luckily, I dont have to. The Head-
up Display projects Navigation instructions and
other important information on the windshield,
directly in my eld of vision. In fact, it looks as if it
is oating above the hood. How does Head-up
Display work?
Inside the dashboard support structure, there
is a monitor similar to the display in a mobile
phone. LEDs generate an image on this display.
Then, like a slide projector, four mirrors project
the image onto the windshield, enlarging it six
times. Due to a clever optical arrangement, it
appears to be about six feet away, so the drivers
eyes dont have to keep refocusing. With no
need to move the eyes back and forth between
the instrument cluster and the road, the driver
stays less distracted and more relaxed.
Integral Active Steering.
My BMW Series Sedan has Integral Active
Steering. I love driving up in the mountains. Yet
even in the middle of tackling the tightest twists
and turns, I nd I feel totally relaxed. Why is this?
While Active Steering varies just front-wheel
steering efforts based on vehicle speed, Integral
Active Steering controls the steering angle of
both the front and rear wheels. At lower speeds,
the rear wheels turn counter to the front wheels.
This makes your vehicle feel as if it had a shorter
wheelbase, for greater precision on, say, twisting
mountain roads. At higher speeds, the rear
wheels turn in the same direction as the front
wheels. It responds as if it had a longer wheel-
base, with enhanced control during quick
highway lane changes. In other words, Integral
Active Steering handles a lot of the work for you.
Active Ventilated Seats.
I drive long distances on my job. My BMW client
advisor said that getting Active Ventilated Seats
in my Series Sedan would make a huge differ-
ence in how I felt. What do they do?
Active Ventilated Seats are constructed with
two hollow cavities in the seat bottom. These
are alternately lled and emptied with liquid.
This slow, gentle process raises and lowers the
cushions left and right halves by about half an
inch. Although the movement is imperceptible,
it acts to move your muscles, increasing blood
ow. During long trips, this helps relieve fatigue.
With the ventilation feature, multiple fans inside
each front seat blow air upward through the
perforated leather, helping to keep you feeling
fresh and your clothes free of perspiration.
Active Cruise Control.
My friend has a Series Sedan that is equipped
with Active Cruise Control. How is this different
from regular cruise control?
Lets say youre on a congested highway
slow-moving trafc thats more stop than go.
Its a situation no driver relishes. But with Active
Cruise Control, its a whole different story. As
soon as the vehicle ahead of you stops, your
BMW also comes to a smooth, controlled halt.
Once trafc starts moving again, so does your
BMW, as if it had eyes of its own. And it does:
a radar sensor monitors the area in front of the
car. Its visual range extends from just in front of
the bumper to feet ahead more than one
and one-half football elds because Active
Cruise Control is not just for slow trafc. It also
works at higher speeds, up to mph.

The
system also includes the Forward Collision
Warning feature, which uses two warning levels
to alert you of a potential collision.

BMWurges you to obey all posted speed laws and always wear
safety belts.
SIX
TECHNICAL
QUESTIONS.
iPhone

and Bluetooth

connectivity.
After taking delivery of my BMW Series
Sedan, I got in, pressed the Start button, and
heard my favorite song playing through the
speakers. Was this luck or BMW wizardry?
Once they are connected, or paired, the
Series Sedan communicates perfectly with
your iPhone or any other BMW-approved,
Bluetooth capable mobile phone. Your address
book and the music library are also automatically
available. Its all thanks to Bluetooth wireless
technology and the hands-free equipment in
your BMW. You can access phone numbers
stored in your mobile phone via the iDrive
Controller or the buttons on the steering wheel.
To start a hands-free call, simply press a button.
BMW Parking Assistant.
Every evening its always the same: searching
for a parking space. I waste so much time and
energy trying to squeeze into spots that are
too short. My client advisor told me that the
Series Sedan has a Parking Assistant feature
that can not only nd parking spaces, it can
even help me park. How does it do that?
When you press the Parking Assistant
button, drive under mph and keep within
ve feet of the row of parked cars on the
left or the right ultrasonic sensors integrated
into the side indicators measure the size of all
parking spaces. If you pass a space thats at
least four feet longer than your vehicle, a green
light will come on, and it will appear on your
Control Display. Put your vehicle in reverse
gear, take your hands off the steering wheel,
and press the accelerator or brake pedal.
The Series Sedan takes care of everything
else. Park Distance Control or the Rear-view
Camera will always let you know how close
you are to other parked vehicles.

Polished dynamics.
Like a form-tting tuxedo on an athlete, Black Sapphire Metallic paint elegantly
delineates the muscles of the BMWi Sedan. Inside the masterfully crafted
cabin ringed by Dark Wood trim, Multi-contour seats are upholstered in Oyster/
Black Dakota Leather. The three-spoke sport steering wheel further enhances
the dynamic look and feel of the interior, while the -inch WSpoke (Style )
light alloy wheels with run-at performance tires

enhance the crisp handling.

Run-at tires do not come equipped with a spare tire and wheel. Driving over rough or damaged
road surfaces, as well as debris, curbs and other obstacles, can cause serious damage to wheels,
tires and suspension parts. This is more likely to occur with low-prole tires, which provide less
cushioning between the wheel and the road. Be careful to avoid road hazards and reduce your
speed, especially if your vehicle is equipped with low-prole tires. Performance tires are not
recommended for driving in snow and ice.

synchronization of shifts fromneutral
to each gear. The shortened shift lever
and throw add to the sporty feel of
the gearbox. The sixth gear drops revs
at highway speeds for smooth cruising
and better fuel economy.
8-speed STEPTRONIC automatic
transmission with Adaptive Transmis-
sion Control (ATC) provides extremely
fast synchronized shifting in either
the Sport or Manual shift mode. By
increasing the number of gears to
eight, the transmission provides a
more efficient shifting sequence and
improved fuel economy.
Engine Start/Stop button and
Keyless-go fob control the engine.
After the electronic identification
systemrecognizes and confirms the
correct Keyless-go fob code, you can
start (or later, turn off) the engine by
pressing the Start/Stop button. (Foot
must be on brake in order to start.)
Black Panel Display shows the instrument cluster as a matte black surface
when the ignition is switched off, with only the chrome rings of the circular
instruments visible in -D. When the ignition is switched on, the graphics display
lights up, showing the trip computer and Check Control information; below the
four analog dials is a high-res, wide-formal Info Display.

Lane Departure Warning fea ture

senses when your vehicle is crossing
over roadway lane markings or is
changing lanes without signaling,
and warns you by sending a mild
vibration through the steering wheel.
The systemcan be turned on and off
via a button by the steering wheel.
BMWEfficientDynamics in action: each time you take your foot off the gas
pedal, Brake Energy Regeneration transforms the vehicles kinetic energy into
electricity, which is used to charge the battery. As a result, the battery draws
less power fromthe engine, effectively reducing fuel consumption. Whenever
this occurs, a blue indicator in the tachometer lights up.
Active Blind Spot Detection
is activated when you use the turn-
signal indicator before changing lanes.
This feature warns if a vehicle is in your
blind spot, or if a vehicle is approaching
at high speed in the passing lane.
Head-up Display projects important travel information, such as current speed
and Check Control data, on the windshield directly in your line of vision in full color.
Directional arrows fromthe Navigation system(if so equipped) can also be
displayed.
Parking Assistant makes parking a breeze by searching for suitable parking
spots and then steering your vehicle into them. Simply press the Park Assistant
button, then drive along potential parking spaces on the left or right side of the
road, staying below mph and no more than five feet away. Using ultrasonic
sensors integrated into the side indicators, the systemsearches for and measures
parking spaces. When a space at least four feet longer than your vehicle is spotted,
it is shown on your Control Display. Shift into reverse and Park Assistant takes
control of steering your vehicle into the selected space; you operate the acceler-
ator and brake pedals. The acoustic and visual warnings of Park Distance Control
(PDC) provide assistance.
Rear-view Camera shows on the Control Display the area behind your vehicle.
Working with Park Distance Control, interactive guidelines indicate if a parking
space can accommodate the vehicle, and display parking trajectories and turn
angles. The Rear-view Camera is activated by engaging reverse gear.
Park Distance Control (PDC) uses eight sensors four in the front, four in the
rear to help you judge how close you are to other vehicles and unseen objects
when parking. The warning beeps come faster as the bumper approaches the
object, turning into a constant tone when the distance is less than 12 inches.
Side- and Top-view Cameras display video images on the Control Display of
traffic approaching the front of the vehicle fromthe sides, such as when exiting
a garage or parking space, by using cameras positioned in the front bumpers.
The Top-view Camera provides video images of the road alongside doors, taken
by cameras positioned in the exterior mirrors.

BMW recommends
BMW and the environment.
BMW is a strong proponent of the environment and social responsibility. We launched
BMW EfcientDynamics back in 2000 the philosophy of providing greater power
with increased efciency and fewer emissions. This has resulted in signicant benets
today for our customers, the climate and the environment.
That year, ecological sustainability was also declared one of BMWs core strategic
principles; it is now rmly anchored in our entire production chain. It starts with the
development of fuel-saving and alternative vehicle concepts, continues with environ-
mentally friendly production processes, and ends with innovative recycling methods.
This effort has been recognized worldwide; in 1999, BMW AG the parent company
of BMW of North America and BMW Manufacturing Co. in Spartanburg, SC was the
rst automotive company to be represented on the Dow Jones Sustainability Group
Index. It has remained on the Index ever since; moreover, since 2005, BMW has been
voted the worlds most sustainable automobile manufacturer. At BMW, we strive for
and achieve high performance in all we do.
