MORE SAFETY. MORE DRIVING PLEASURE.
The BMW  Series Saloon is full of cutting-edge technology that can always be relied on. Superb handling characteristics and innovative equipment
come as standard, giving the driver exactly the right support for any situation. It all means that you can feel safe in all road conditions.

 Adaptive Headlights with variable light distribution for city and
motorway, BMW Selective Beam (anti-dazzle High-Beam Assistant),
automatic full and dipped beam as well as Bi-Xenon technology provide
optimum illumination of the road ahead. The cornering lights are
activated automatically by the steering angle or when the indicators
are switched on, even when the car is stationary.
 Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) features sensors that constantly
monitor driving status and, as required, optimises directional stability and
traction by intervening in the engine and brake management systems.
This makes it easier to handle the vehicle, even in diffi cult road conditions,
and actively enhances driving safety and therefore driving pleasure.
 Active Protection is the preventative occupant protection system
from BMW ConnectedDrive. In critical situations, for example, the safety
belts are pre-tensioned, the seats are moved to an upright position and
the windows are closed. Following an accident, the vehicle can also be
automatically braked to a standstill. Additionally, Attention Assistant monitors
driving behaviour for signs of fatigue. The system also analyses steering
input, picks up on irregularities and responds with a recommendation to
take a break shown in the Control Display.
 Airbags for the driver and front passenger are central, precisely
coordinated safety features in your BMW. Driver and front passenger
airbags, the Curtain System with head airbags as well as front seatback-
integrated side airbags provide effective protection for you and your
passengers in the event of a collision.

 The intelligent BMW all-wheel system xDrive adapts perfectly to
even diffi cult road conditions by always providing the required extra
traction. With xDrive and Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), your vehicle
remains stable and on track. xDrive distributes drive power fl exibly
between the vehicle’s axles in fractions of a second for optimum road-
holding. This allows xDrive to combine the advantages of all-wheel drive –
traction, directional stability and driving safety – with typical BMW agility.
 Passenger cell. Thanks to the directions of the beams and node
joints and selective use of high-strength materials, this functionally
designed structure provides maximum passive safety in the event of
front, side or rear impact.
 BMW restraint system for driver and front passenger comprises
three-point seat belts, belt tensioners and belt-force limiters to ensure the
most effective restraining effect in a collision. To avoid incorrect use, the
rear seat belt buckles are coded.
 Runfl at tyres. In the event of a puncture, reinforced sidewalls mean
the tyres stay on the rim so you can get to the nearest workshop.
 Tyre Pressure Display. This keeps the driver informed of pressure
loss by means of a sensor. The air temperature is also monitored.
