This might surprise you, but the Bavarian automaker draws on decades of experience in developing and building emergency vehicles for both German and international fire and emergency services. As a regular exhibitor at RETTmobil, BMW presented a broad selection of products and technologies, including cars and motorcycles, that meet a wide range of emergency service requirements.

Their main attraction this year was a specially-designed BMW 5-Series Touring that integrates a special signal system into the iDrive control interface. Both the lightbar and siren can be operated intuitively using the iDrive controls.
