Technical data

See nighttime driving in a new light.

The 5 Series headlight cluster assists the driver in many ways.

Low- and high-beam Xenon headlights illuminate the road ahead

with near-daylight brilliance and clarity; an auto-leveling feature

helps keep headlight glare out of the eyes of oncoming drivers.

The Adaptive Headlights feature automatically swivels the lights

to follow the curves of the road, using data from on-board sensors

and the steering wheel angle to determine the vehicle’s direction.

Distinctive Corona headlight-rings circle the low beams, and also act

as parking lights. Cornering Lights illuminate the side of the road up to

90 degrees, while a new option, High-beam Assistant, automatically

turns high beams on or off, as needed.

For details on the availability of standard and optional features, please refer to the

Standard equipment | Optional equipment charts at the back of this brochure.

Adaptive Headlights create

cones of light that follow the

direction of the headlights.

Cornering Lights illuminate the

side of the road when turning,

helping to reveal obstacles,

cyclists and pedestrians.

Xenon low beams provide

improved illumination of the

road, while Corona headlight-

rings act as parking lights.

High beams increase the

range of visibility. High-beam

Assistant turns them on when

needed, then off.

Give your right foot a break in traffic jams.

Few things can put a damper on the joy of driving like stop-and-go

traffic. But Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go,

lets you put an

end to the endless shuffle between the accelerator and brake pedal.

When you engage Active Cruise Control, it keeps you at your desired

preset speed; when you encounter slower-moving vehicles, it slows

you down to maintain a preset distance. The Stop & Go feature goes

one step further by bringing your BMW to a complete stop if traffic

calls for it. Then, when you press the accelerator, Active Cruise

Control accelerates your vehicle until it reaches a speed to maintain

your preset following distance – or, if the road ahead is clear, your

preset speed.

Active Cruise Control is not a substitute for the driver’s own responsibility in adjusting speed and

otherwise controlling the vehicle. After evaluating road, traffic and visibility conditions, the driver must

determine whether and how the system is used.
