BMW Active Steering: The idea is better handling and stability,

whatever your speed.

BMW’s innovative Active Steering enhances the driving experience

by varying the steering ratio based on vehicle speed.

At low and medium speeds, the steering is more direct. The car is

more agile and nimble, especially on twisty roads. As you increase

speed, the steering ratio gradually changes, providing greater

directional stability. Active Steering is a feature you’ll thoroughly

enjoy at any speed.

If you wanted to turn the front wheels two degrees, for example, at

60 mph you would need to turn the steering wheel more than you

would at 25 mph. This helps make both highway lane changes and

tricky parking maneuvers far easier. The core element of the Active

Steering system in the BMW 5 Series is a planetary gear set integrated

into the steering column. This enables an electric motor to decrease

or increase the steering angle in relation to vehicle speed.

Greater agility at low and medium speeds: A small turn of the

steering wheel translates into a big turn of the front wheels.

At higher speeds, greater stability: A bigger turn of the steering

wheel is needed to turn the front wheels.

Stabilization does you a good turn.

When driving quickly around a corner, the laws of physics dictate that

a vehicle will lean away from the curve. Active Roll Stabilization is an

active suspension control system designed to reduce body roll, or

lean, in cornering.

A convenient way to avoid

inconvenient surprises.

BMW’s Lane Departure Warning feature

alerts the driver during

an improper lane-changing maneuver. Invaluable when driving long

distances – especially at night, when drowsiness can set in – the system

uses a camera to detect painted lines in the road. Whenever you change

lanes or drift across the roadway without first using your directional

signal, the system discreetly vibrates the steering wheel.

Lane Departure Warning feature requires clearly definable lane markings that are not obscured by

rain, snow, etc., and is not a substitute for the driver’s own responsibility in maintaining safe control

of the vehicle.
