Active Steering can also detect any oversteer, so that a small amount of corrective steering angle will be introduced automatically to stabilize the situation. For the enthusiast, BMW says, this means fewer interruptions under hard cornering with no reduction in passive safety.
-Dynamic Drive uses active anti-roll bars on the front and rear to reduce body roll during cornering by up to 80 percent, thereby stabilizing the car and increasing ride comfort. The system does not affect suspension damping, allowing passengers to travel in complete comfort during normal driving conditions.
-BMW's new Head-Up Display system will debut in the new BMW 5 Series Touring this, providing a virtual image of important information, such as road speed, cruise control speed and Check Control messages, directly onto the windshield in the driver's line of sight.
With the image appearing to be at the front of the hood, BMW says, the driver does not need to refocus his or her eyes, which helps to reduce driver fatigue.
-In combination with bi-xenon headlamps, Adaptive Headlamps are available, which use the speed and steering angle signals from the DSC system to swivel the headlamps by up to 15 degrees so that they illuminate the road ahead rather than the direction in which the car is pointing.
-Finally, customers wanting an increased feeling of space inside can opt for the new Panorama sunroof, which exposes both the front and rear passengers to sunshine as well as fresh air if it's open.
