BMW Seria 5 F10 – toate datele despre noul BMW Seria 5

Greater Supremacy, Comfort and Safety through
Intelligent Networking.

• Unique combination of driver assistance systems and mobility
services.
• Word debut: BMW Parking Assistant and Surround View.
• Further improvement: Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go and
collision warning with brake application function.

Offering a wide range of driver assistance systems and mobility
services unique the world over either as standard or optional in
the context of BMW ConnectedDrive, the new BMW 5 Series Sedan sets
new standards in its segment in terms of superior, comfortable and
safe motoring. The range comprises a number of features presented
for the first time in the new BMW 7 Series and now being
introduced, again for the first time, in the upper midrange
segment.

The various services of BMW ConnectedDrive are supplemented by
further innovations making their world debut in the new BMW 5
Series Sedan, among them the BMW Parking Assistant, Surround View,
a collision warning with brake activation function in combination
with Active Cruise Control incorporating Stop & Go, and a Speed
Limit Device.

BMW ConnectedDrive offers a unique portfolio of features and
amenities in areas such as traffic information, emergency call
functions, vehicle, enquiry and office services, travel and leisure
time planning, internet services, and driver assistance systems.
All of these functions focus consistently on three targets: to
enhance personal comfort, to optimise the safety of all the car’s
occupants, and to offer the most modern infotainment standards in
the automobile.

To meet all these requirements, the exchange of information
between the driver, the car itself and the surrounding world is
coordinated by BMW ConnectedDrive in a particularly intelligent,
target-oriented manner. Whether the task is to handle traffic
information, write and receive e-mails, take care of emergency call
functions, process websites, offer telephone enquiry services or
driver assistance systems based on camera and sensor information,
the comfort, infotainment and safety systems on board a BMW
consistently give the driver all the information and services he
needs
and requires at any time.

To make this possible, BMW ConnectedDrive bundles all innovative
offers and technologies in the most appropriate manner, making
Sheer Driving Pleasure even more comfortable, safer and intense,
while intentionally leaving the task of selecting information and
acting appropriately to the driver as the commander in control of
all activities. Benefiting from BMW ConnectedDrive and the
innovative driver assistance systems offered in this way, the
driver gains greater competence, supremacy and safety in virtually
all driving situations.

The innovative BMW Parking Assistant: extra comfort
ensured through fully automatic steering and optimum user
guidance.

The range of comfort- and safety-relevant driver assistance
systems offered by BMW ConnectedDrive is now being supplemented by
yet another important innovation: The new BMW 5 Series Sedan is the
only car available as an option with the BMW Parking Assistant, a
new system supporting the driver in safely and comfortably
manoeuvring into parking spaces running parallel to the road.

The BMW Parking Assistant supports the driver from the start in
choosing appropriate parking space. Ultrasound sensors integrated
in the side indicator surrounds consistently measure the length and
width of possible parking spaces next to the road or on the side
lane when travelling at a speed of up to 35 km/h. The system thus
looks for parking space exceeding the length of the car by at least
1.20 metres or 47″.

Whenever the BMW Parking Assistant is not activated, this
measuring process is conducted in the background without emitting
any particular signals. But as soon as the driver comes to a stop
and shifts to reverse, the iDrive Control Display informs the
driver of a suitable parking space by presenting an appropriate
symbol. Once the driver has activated the system, all parking
spaces sufficient for
the car are presented while driving by.

In both cases the driver simply has to press the Controller to
use the Parking Assistant for extra convenience. From this point
on, all the driver has to do is operate the gas and brake pedals
and supervise the actual driving manoeuvre, while the Parking
Assistant moves the steering wheel appropriately in order to back
up precisely into the parking space available. As the main feature
the driver then receives functions guiding him though the parking
process.

Acoustic and visual messages from PDC Park Distance Control and
from the Surround View system likewise available for the first time
help the driver in adjusting his distance from other vehicles or
obstacles ahead of or behind the car in the parking space
chosen.

Innovative Surround View: perfect overview in the
process of manoeuvring the car.

The new BMW 5 Series Sedan is also available with a back-up
camera providing images presented in colour and in an optimum
perspective in the Control Display. Interactive tracking lines show
the driver the optimum steering wheel angle for parking as well as
the tightest turning circle. The rear-view camera is particularly
helpful when hooking up a trailer, a zoom function serving to
enlarge the size of the image around the towbar.

Special static lines in the image help the driver in correctly
assessing the distance to another vehicle or object, while an
interactive docking line geared to the angle of the steering wheel
enables the driver to back up to the trailer towbar smoothly and
precisely.

Surround View available for the first time in the new BMW 5
Series Sedan provides an even more comprehensive and complete
picture of the car and its immediate surroundings. In addition to
the back-up camera and the PDC sensors, Surround View uses two
cameras in the side mirrors, the data obtained in this way on the
car and its surroundings being processed by a central computer.
This serves to provide an overall picture presented in the Control
Display and showing both the car and its surroundings from a bird’s
eye perspective.

This clear overview then enables the driver to manoeuvre
precisely even in confined space. Side View is a sub-system of the
Surround View option providing specific assistance for the driver
in appropriate situations. Side View uses two cameras integrated in
the front wings of the cars and serving to monitor traffic moving
crosswise to the vehicle. The images obtained in this way are
likewise
transmitted to the Control Display and not only ensure additional
comfort in manoeuvring, but also provide an early overview of
traffic conditions to the left and right of the car, particularly
when driving out of a narrow and unclear driveway or car park.

Innovative combination: collision warning with brake
activation function combined with Active Cruise Control and Stop
& Go.

The new BMW 5 Series Sedan comes as standard with cruise control
incorporating an independent brake function. This system controls
both the engine and the brakes and, on cars with automatic
transmission, the choice of gears, in order to maintain a specific
speed pre-selected by the driver. Cruise control consistently
registers longitudinal and lateral acceleration of the car and,
where required, reduces the speed of the vehicle by intervening in
engine management and the brake system in order to avoid any
impairment of comfort in a bend.

Where necessary, cruise control also intervenes in the brakes
when driving downhill to maintain a controlled driving process at
controlled speed, also when towing a trailer.

Active Cruise Control complete with a Stop & Go function
available as an option gives the driver even greater support and
assistance. This sophisticated system also comprises an automatic
distance control function for cruising smoothly in flowing traffic
on the autobahn or a country road and maintaining the distance
chosen from the vehicle ahead in stop-and-go traffic at a very low
speed. As soon as the distance from the vehicle ahead pre-set by
the driver is no longer maintained, Active Cruise Control adjusts
the speed of the car by intervening in engine management and
building up brake
pressure, thus consistently maintaining the right speed in
accordance with traffic conditions.

Ultimately, this function serves where necessary to slow down
the car to a complete standstill and hold it safely in position.
The maximum stopping power generated by Active Cruise Control
with
Stop & Go is 4 metres/sec2, which is however limited at higher
speeds to a more comfortable 2.5 metres/sec2. Should the driver be
required to intervene because the driver ahead is applying the
brakes extremely hard, he will be prompted to do so by appropriate
optical and acoustic signals.

The release thresholds for the Brake Assistant are lowered at
the same time and the Brake Standby function in the DSC system is
activated. After coming to a halt for more than three seconds, the
driver is required when setting off again to briefly press down the
gas pedal or press the Resume button on the multifunction steering
wheel in order to accelerate the car. A further point is that with
the system active, the driver is able to control his speed himself
at any time by pressing down the accelerator or brake pedal, thus
retaining his responsibility at all times.

Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go available throughout
the road speed range from 30 – 180 km/h (19 – 112 mph) uses the
latest generation of radar sensor technology, a full range radar,
to perform its function. This innovative radar sensor is integrated
inconspicuously in the front air dam of the car, does not require
any individual adjustment, and is largely immune to contamination
or dirt from outside.

The measuring beam emitted by the system is sufficiently broad
at short distances of up to approximately 50 metres or 165 feet in
order to recognise vehicles on adjacent lanes within certain
limits. Whenever another vehicle moves over to the same lane as the
driver’s car, Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go adjusts the
speed of the BMW 5 Series smoothly and softly to the speed of the
new car now ahead.

In combination with Active Cruise Control, the new BMW 5 Series
Sedan is available for the first time with a collision warning
incorporating a brake activation function. While both of these
systems may be activated independently of one another, they are
harmonised and matched to one another in their functions.

Collision warning with its brake activation function triggers an
alarm in two stages. The pre-warning is an optical message
presented as a red car symbol in the instrument cluster and, when
fitted, also in the Head-Up Display, telling the driver to increase
his distance from the vehicle ahead. As soon as this symbol
appears, the brakes are pre-loaded, the release thresholds on the
Adaptive Brake Assistant are lowered, and the Brake Standby
function on DSC Dynamic Stability Control is activated.

This ensures rapid build-up of full brake pressure in an
emergency, the shorter stopping distance made possible in this way
reducing the risk of a front-to-rear collision. There is no such
pre-warning whenever Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go is in
use, since this sophisticated system automatically maintains and
reinstates an appropriate distance at all times.

The second stage in the collision warning process is activated
in the event of an imminent collision (= greater risk), regardless
of the operating status of Active Cruise Control: whenever the
driver is required to intervene very quickly, the system sends out
an acute warning – in this case not only an optical, but also an
acoustic message. It also initiates the braking process required,
slowing down the car with stopping power of up to 3 metres/sec2 for
a maximum of 1.2 seconds. In combination with a signal flashing on
and off in the instrument cluster or, respectively, in the Head-Up
Display and
an acoustic warning signal, the driver is urged to act
immediately.

And with the brake system again being pre-loaded, the various
functions are already in standby to avoid a collision or, should
the worst come to the worst, to significantly reduce the
consequences of an impact.

Lane Change Warning monitoring traffic approaching
from behind.

Optional Lane Change Warning in the new BMW 5 Series warns the
driver of potentially critical situations when overtaking. Using
two radar sensors at the rear end of the car, the system monitors
traffic conditions on the adjacent lanes, covering an area
extending from the blind angle on the next lane all the way back
about 60 metres or almost 200 feet. A triangular yellow light
symbol integrated in the housing of the driver’s exterior mirror
shows the driver that a vehicle is in the critical range, requiring
him to check out the situation carefully.

Should the driver set the direction indicator nevertheless,
indicating that he is about to change lanes, the LED signal in the
light will warn him by flashing on and off. He will also be warned
by discreet but unmistakable vibration of the steering wheel.

Lane Departure Warning: camera-based system warning
the driver from unintended lane departure even in the
dark.

Likewise available as an option, Lane Departure Warning detects
unintended departure from the appropriate lane at a speed of at
least 70 km/h or 43 mph. This system is made up of a camera fitted
near the interior mirror on the windscreen, a control unit for
comparing data, and a signal generator making the steering wheel
vibrate as in the case of a Lane Change Warning.

Lane Departure Warning operates as a function of road speed. At
high speeds the system interacts quickly as soon as the car draws
close to the side of the road. It does not send out a warning
signal, however, if the driver has indicated his intention to
change lanes or direction by setting the direction indicator.

The camera incorporated in the Lane Departure Warning system
monitors the road markings on at least one side of the car, a
control unit calculating the position of the vehicle in relation to
such road markings. The camera is able to look ahead about 50
metres or 165 feet, and is also able to respond appropriately in
bends or on narrow lanes. The system even works in the dark once
the headlights have been switched on, making it very helpful under
very many everyday driving conditions.

Speed Limit Info and Speed Limit
Device.

The camera fitted in the interior mirror also allows the
installation of another driver assistance system for extra comfort
on the road: Combined with the Professional navigation system,
Speed Limit Info helps the driver to keep informed on the speed
limit on the route he is currently taking. To provide this function
the camera permanently monitors both the signs along the road and
variable speed signs above major routes such as expressways and the
autobahn, comparing the data obtained in this way with the data
saved in the navigation system.

The camera is indeed even able to consider additional road signs
applicable, for example, only in rainy weather, as well as
temporary speed limits, for example at construction sites. The
speed limit determined is presented by way of a symbolic speed sign
in the instrument cluster or, as an option, in the Head-Up Display,
until the speed limit changes or is lifted altogether. Relieving
the driver of an important chore through its function, Speed Limit
Info increases motoring comfort particularly on long distances.

The new BMW 5 Series is available in addition to Speed Limit
Info with a new Speed Limit Device limiting the maximum speed of
the car to any maximum figure set in advance between 30 and 230
km/h (19 and 143 mph). The driver operates the Speed Limit Device
by buttons on the left spoke of the steering wheel. And should he
wish to drive faster even though the speed limit function has been
activated, all he has to do is press down the gas pedal hard for a
few seconds to override the limit set in advance.

As soon as the car then returns to a speed beneath the limit
set, the speed limit function is activated once again.

Sophisticated lights technology with intelligent
control.

In conjunction with bi-xenon headlights featured as an option,
the new BMW 5 Series Sedan may be fitted with the latest generation
of Adaptive Headlights including Bending Lights for variable light
distribution and adaptive headlight range control. Adaptive
Headlights illuminate the road ahead clearly and brightly under all
conditions, following curves and winding routes. In the process the
headlights turn in the same direction as the steering wheel,
following the steering, the yaw rate and the speed of the car.

The Bending Light function is integrated in the headlights,
switching on an additional light beam every time the car takes a
bend in order to illuminate the road ahead in the direction the
driver is following. Adaptive headlight range control also takes
the vertical contours of the road into account, with the light beam
being lowered or, respectively, raised when driving over crests,
through a tunnel or on a steep ramp in order to illuminate the road
ahead exactly the right way, without dazzling oncoming traffic.

A further feature of the Adaptive Headlights is variable light
distribution optimising the illumination of the road in accordance
with current requirements also on a straight route. In this case
the innovative control function operating in accordance with road
speed automatically enlarges the driver’s field of vision by
enlarging the light beam appropriately.

The optional High-Beam Assistant in the new BMW 5 Series offers
additional safety when driving at night. Taking current driving
conditions into account, this system switches the high beam on and
off automatically as required, consistently giving the driver
optimum visibility and at the same time relieving him of the chore
to constantly monitor the high beam in the case of oncoming
traffic.

Processing images generated by a camera integrated in the
interior mirror, the High-Beam Assistant recognises vehicles
driving ahead in the same direction up to a distance of
approximately 400 metres or 440 yards and oncoming vehicles up to a
distance of about 1,000 metres or 1,100 yards. A further feature is
that the high-beam is switched off automatically as soon as the
surrounding light reaches a certain level of intensity and is
therefore bright enough.

Greater safety when driving at night: BMW Night
Vision even able to detect individual persons.

BMW is the world’s first car maker to offer a night vision
system even able to detect individual persons. The second
generation of BMW Night Vision available in the new BMW 5 Series as
an optional extra sets new standards in avoiding accidents when
driving at night. The main feature is a thermal imaging camera
fitted at the front end of the car and naturally designed
appropriately for the new BMW 5 Series.

This camera provides a video image in real time presenting
people, animals and other heat-emitting objects in high resolution
in the central Control Display, even when they are outside of the
headlight beam. This presentation on the screen is supplemented in
the case of BMW Night Vision by the automatic detection of persons
on or next to the road. To provide this function, the video data is
analysed by a control unit using intelligent algorithms to find
pedestrians and cyclists potentially on collision course with the
car.

Once the system detects a possible risk involving such persons,
the driver is warned by the Control Display and the optional
Head-Up Display. This warning is restricted to pedestrians and
cyclists who, on account of the speed, steering angle and yaw rate
involved, are on a calculated collision course with the
vehicle.

Innovative services from BMW
ConnectedDrive.

The range of optional services provided by BMW ConnectedDrive to
the benefit of the driver of the new BMW 5 Series Sedan is truly
fascinating. BMW ConnectedDrive ensures appropriate provision of
information in accordance with current requirements, thus serving
to maximise motoring comfort, optimise the safety of all occupants,
and make full use of modern infotainment systems. The range of
mobility services offered in the areas of traffic information,
emergency call functions, vehicle, inquiry and office services,
travel and leisure time planning, as well as internet services, is
truly unique the world over.

Through BMW Assist, BMW ConnectedDrive offers the driver a wide
range of helpful and user-oriented support in many situations both
before setting out, while driving, and at his destination. In all,
BMW Assist offers an Enhanced Emergency Call function automatically
locating the current position of the car, enhanced traffic
information, a comprehensive Enquiry Service and the interactive My
Info communication channel including a Send-to-Car function.

BMW TeleServices, in turn, enable the driver, for example, to
automatically arrange a service appointment for his car, data
determined by the On-Board Condition Based Service diagnostic
system on the current condition of components subject to wear and
tear being transmitted by telephone to the customer’s BMW Service
Partner. And last but not least, the new remote control functions
offered by BMW ConnectedDrive enable the driver to lock and unlock
the doors to his car and establish its current location down to the
last metre by telephone, covering the entire world as a global
service.

Just in case: emergency call function automatically
locating the current position of the car.

Part of the optional BMW Assist telematics service, the BMW
ConnectedDrive Enhanced Emergency Call function makes sure that in
the event of a collision the rescue services are informed in detail
on the type of collision and the risk of injury in good time before
arriving at the scene of an accident. This allows them to prepare
appropriate medical treatment of the persons injured well in
advance as an essential precaution. Information transmitted to the
BMW Call Center by the Enhanced Emergency call function
automatically locating the vehicle specifies not only the exact
location, but also the mobile telephone number connected to the
car, the chassis number, type of vehicle, its colour, as well as
data compiled by sensors in the car indicating the type and
intensity of the collision.

Activation of restraint systems as well as the occupancy and
belt status on the front seats are also registered. The system is
even able to detect head-on, rearend, side-on or multiple
collisions, distinguishing them from one another. Apart from
sending out an automatic emergency call, the Enhanced Emergency
Call function enables the driver or passenger to manually activate
an emergency call going straight to the BMW Call Center. Clear
operating structure for superior control.

Through its structure, the cockpit of the new BMW 5 Series
perfects the driver orientation so typical of the brand,
consistently breaking down all functions relevant to driving the
car, on the one hand, and enjoying motoring comfort, on the other.
Displays and controls for drive functions are arranged on the
driver’s side, functions relevant to comfort are positioned in the
middle. The multifunction steering wheels re-designed for the BMW 5
Series also follow this concept, with the function keys for speed
control, on the one hand, and the control elements for the audio
system and telephone, on the other, also arranged separately from
one another, like the controls and displays in the cockpit.

Apart from this horizontal subdivision of control and display
units, the vertical structure of the driver’s workplace also
ensures fast and intuitive orientation in the new BMW 5 Series
Sedan. All primary displays are in the upper part of the cockpit on
eye level with the driver. The control units such as switches, etc
are positioned further down within optimum reach and, thanks to
their different size, shape and surfaces, easy to use without even
looking. The switches serving to activate various driver assistance
systems are arranged in a panel in the immediate vicinity of the
light control centre, offering the driver enhanced perception and
control of his surroundings.

The power unit of the new BMW 5 Series Sedan is started and
stopped simply by pressing the start/stop button as soon as the
remote control key is in the car. Hence, the driver is not required
as in the past to actually insert the key into the appropriate
opening. The direction indicators and windscreen wipers are
operated by classic levers on the steering column on both sides of
the steering wheel .The buttons for adjusting the seats, in turn,
are positioned at the outside on the seats, again with perfect
ergonomics. The control units for the seat memory function are in
the inner door panel, allowing convenient use and activation even
before getting into the car.

The new BMW 5 Series Sedan comes with a separate set of switches
for activating and controlling the automatic air conditioning,
heating, and ventilation. This control panel is positioned on the
centre console right below the audio system. Featured as standard,
the automatic air conditioning comes with separate temperature
control on the driver’s and front passenger’s side, auxiliary
ventilation, an anti-mist function, and the use of residual
heat.

Automatic air conditioning with enhanced functions is available
as an option, comprising automatic air recirculation, a sunshine
compensation function, and air distribution controlled separately
on the driver’s and front passenger’s side. Four-zone automatic air
conditioning with comfort nozzles, air vents in the B-pillar and a
separate control unit at the rear is also available as yet a
further option.

Instrument cluster in Black Panel
technology.

Black Panel technology on the instrument cluster combines
classic flair with the latest innovations in technology. The system
is made up of a highresolution colour display, control and warning
lights, as well as four circular dials in the traditional style of
a sports car presenting information on the most important driving
functions. As an additional feature the display is able to present
information on route guidance and even road lane recommendations
provided by one of the optional navigation systems.

When not in use the instrument cluster forms a homogeneous black
surface presenting only the chrome-coloured surrounds, the gauge
needles, the numbers and scale markings on the dials as well as the
red warning field in the rev counter as steady features to be seen
permanently.

The integrated displays for current fuel consumption, the
remaining range on the fuel left in the tank, the mileage, the time
of day, the outside temperature, feedback from the driver
assistance systems, Check/Control messages, the gear and shift
point indicator as well as the recuperation indicator are shown in
a
5.7-inch-wide info display at the lower edge of the instrument
cluster visible only when activated. And last but not least, the
display provides instant feedback when changing the mode in Dynamic
Driving Control and in operating the audio, telephone, or
navigation functions.

Head-Up Display: Important information right in
front of the driver.

The Head-Up Display available as an option for the new BMW 5
Series Sedan also follows the philosophy of intuitive control
providing appropriate information at all times, thus applying the
same optimised concept as in the cockpit. Information relevant to
the driver such as his current speed, warnings provided by the
driver assistance systems and navigation data is presented by the
Head-Up Display directly in the driver’s line of vision, in an
ergonomically particularly good and clear position on the
windscreen.

The driver is able to take in and use this information without
re-focusing his line of vision or taking his eyes off the road. The
intensity of this projection is automatically adjusted to
surrounding light
conditions, with the additional option to adjust the level of
brightness through the iDrive menu. The driver is also able to
choose the information he would like to receive on the windscreen
in addition to road speed and warnings from the driver assistance
systems.

Depending on the level of equipment in the car, such additional
information may be High Guiding data from the navigation system as
well as information from the Speed Limit Info, Check/Control as
well as status reports from the Active Cruise Control with Stop
& Go, the collision warning unit and Lane Departure
Warning.

The information selected is presented exclusively on the Head-Up
Display when activated, and no longer in the instrument cluster.
Given the sheer number and diversity of driver assistance systems
available in the new BMW 5 Series Sedan, the range of information
available on the Head-Up Display reaches a standard and level of
perfection never seen before.

BMW iDrive with direct selection and favourite
buttons.

The new BMW 5 Series comes as standard with the BMW iDrive
control system operating all entertainment, information, navigation
and telecommunication functions either featured as standard or
fitted as an option. In perfect ergonomic position, the Controller
allows convenient and intuitive selection and activation of
functions through standardised tipping, turning and pressing
motions. A picture of the Controller presented in the Control
Display and the clear menu structure ensure easy orientation in
choosing the next step in operating the system.

Measuring 7 inches in the standard and 10.2 inches on the
optional Professional navigation system, the Control Display is
integrated in the dashboard at the ideal level and distance from
the driver, ensuring superior and safe use and operation, with the
driver hardly having to take his eyes off the road.

Direct selection buttons on the Controller enable the driver to
switch very quickly and conveniently among the CD, Radio, Telephone
and Navigation functions. The range of such direct selection
buttons is rounded off by the MENU, BACK and OPTION keys, while
eight favourite buttons on the centre console allow the driver to
save and directly select radio stations, telephone
numbers and destinations in the navigation system as well as
further menu items available through iDrive.

Yet another unique feature of BMW iDrive is multi-mode operation
by voice entry and the Controller. The driver is able to switch
from one to the other of these entry modes easily and conveniently
while conducting one and the same task, if he wishes leaving the
voice detection function in full operation also while making an
entry through the Controller, thus using both functions at the same
time. Voice entry also allows direct access to music titles as well
as verbal entry of complete addresses.

The driver is able to read out the place, the name of the street
and the number of his destination in one single command, with the
system subsequently arranging the individual items in the required
order to reach the destination desired.

Navigations system Professional with hard disc
memory.

BMW iDrive offers its full benefits also when the car is fitted
with one of the optional navigation systems. On both the Business
and Professional navigation system, maps in high resolution are
combined with arrows guiding the driver to his destination.
Full-screen map presentation on the Professional navigation system
furthermore offers an incomparably detailed overview of the region
through which the driver is currently travelling.

Both maps and individual symbols may be presented as
three-dimensional graphics, and the system is also able to present
an elevation map showing the various levels of altitude. Selected
sights along the route are highlighted as true-to-life photo
graphics with a pre-view map helping the driver choose his
destination. As an alternative to full-screen presentation, the
driver may activate an
assistance window in the Control Display presenting either further
images/graphics, information from the on-board computer, or data on
the entertainment programme.

A special map function serving to highlight traffic conditions
offers a clear visual impression of the latest traffic jam and
congestion reports, while the High Guiding function with integrated
driving lane recommendations transmits detailed views such as
turning requirements at a complicated road junction from the screen
directly to the instrument cluster or, where fitted as an option,
straight to the Head-Up Display.

Yet a further function offered by BMW ConnectedDrive is BMW
Routes. Before setting out, the driver and his passengers are able
to put together their personal routes with the help of a route
planner in the internet, then conveniently transmitting such routes
via BMW Online directly into the car or using a USB stick for
direct entry into the navigation system, which will then guide the
driver to his destination along the route chosen, offering
additional information on interesting sights while following the
route selected.

The Professional navigation system comes with an 80 GB hard disc
saving all navigation data. Fitted permanently within the car, this
data system serves among other things to maintain the driver’s
personal music archives, enabling him or any other user to transmit
music files from, say, a CD, an external MP3 player or a USB stick,
using the storage capacity available for this purpose on the hard
disc of more than 12 GB.

The optional mobile phone preparation kit complete with a
Bluetooth interface enables the user to mastermind the car’s
telephone functions via iDrive. And with the music player in the
mobile phone being connected as an additional feature, the MP3
function of Smartphones such as the Apple iPhone many also be
integrated in the car’s control system.

Rear Seat Entertainment systems for maximum touring
comfort also on long journeys.

The new BMW 5 Series Sedan is available as an option with two
versions of the Rear Seat Entertainment system. These systems
comprise a DVD player, remote control, the option to connect
external MP3 players, game consoles and headsets as well as two
high-resolution displays integrated in the front-seat headrests and
adjustable for angle. This allows direct access
to all audio and video sources within the car, such as a DVD
changer or the TV function.

The displays featured at the rear measure 8 inches across in the
standard version and 9.2 inches on the Professional Rear Seat
Entertainment system also allowing individual access to the
navigation system as well as full use of the internet at the rear
with the help of BMW ConnectedDrive. A further option is to use the
displays in the Professional Rear Seat Entertainment system
independently of one another, allowing the two passengers at the
rear to enjoy entirely different functions at the same time.

Unique the world over: the Integrated Owner’s
Manual.

The new BMW 5 Series Sedan comes as standard with an Integrated
Owner’s Manual absolutely unique the world over. Through the iDrive
system, the Integrated Owner’s Manual gives the driver information
whenever required on all the features and functions of his car,
presenting operating instructions clearly and understandably by
means of visual animation together with sound messages and slide
shows. Short and clear texts as well as interactive graphics,
finally, ensure that the information provided is consistent and
easy to understand.
