Three-spoke leather-wrapped multi-function sport steering wheel,
featuring power tilt/telescoping adjust ments, lets you keep both hands on the
steering wheel while adjusting the audio as well as a BMW-approved, Bluetooth
enabled mobile phone, if so equipped. The left-hand buttons operate all Cruise
Control functions, while those on the right control audio functions, such as the
radio and, if so equipped, telephone and Voice command.
Heated steering wheel is a fea ture that, like heated seats, becomes a
“must-have” once it’s experienced. The heating switch is conveniently located
on the multi-function steering wheel.
Active Cruise Control (ACC)
with Stop & Go
lets you preset both
desired speed and following distance.
When ACC recognizes slower vehicles
ahead, it reduces your speed to
maintain the preset distance. Stop &
Go can bring you to a complete stop if
traffic calls for it. When you press the
accelerator, ACC resumes your speed
according to your presets.
Cruise Control
lets you store
and maintain a chosen speed above
approximately . mph by accessing
the feature’s buttons on the left side of
the multi-function steering wheel.
Three-spoke leather-wrapped
multi-function steering wheel
provides buttons on the left for oper-
ating the Cruise Control functions, and
buttons on the right for adjusting all
audio-related functions, including a
BMW-approved, Bluetooth
®
enabled
mobile phone, if so equipped.
-speed manual transmission
delivers a precise, athletic feel. Its
responsiveness is due, in part, to the
synchronization of shifts from neutral
to each gear. The shortened shift lever
and “throw” add to the sporty feel of
the gearbox. The sixth gear drops revs
at highway speeds for smooth cruising
and better fuel economy.
8-speed Sport Automatic
trans mission with Adaptive Trans-
mission Control (ADT) provides
extremely fast synchro nized shifting,
whether performed by the Automatic
shift mode or by the race-inspired
steering wheel-mounted paddle
shifters.
Engine Start/Stop button and
remote key control the engine. First,
insert the remote key into the starter
switch slot. After the electronic
identification system confirms that
it is the correct remote key, you can
start (or later, turn off) the engine by
pressing the Start/Stop button.
(Foot
must be on brake in order to start.)
Black Panel Display shows the instrument cluster as a matte black surface
when the ignition is switched off, with only the chrome rings of the circular
instruments visible in -D. When the ignition is switched on, the graphics display
lights up, showing the trip computer and Check Control information; below the
four analog dials is a high-res, wide-formal Info Display.

Lane Departure Warning fea-
ture
senses when your vehicle is
crossing over roadway lane markings
or is changing lanes without signaling,
and warns you by sending a mild
vibration through the steering wheel.
The system can be turned on and off
via a button by the steering wheel.
BMW EfficientDynamics in action: each time you take your foot off the gas
pedal, Brake Energy Regeneration transforms the vehicle’s kinetic energy into
electricity, which is used to charge the battery. As a result, the battery draws less
power from the engine, effectively reducing fuel consumption. Whenever this
occurs, a blue indicator in the tachometer lights up.
Active Blind Spot Detection is
activated when you use the turn-signal
indicator before changing lanes. This
feature warns if a vehicle is in your
blind spot, or if a vehicle is approaching
at high speed in the passing lane.
Head-up Display projects important travel information, such as current
speed and Check Control data, on the windshield directly in your line of vision.
Directional arrows from the Navigation system (if so equipped) can also be
displayed.
Parking Assistant makes parking a breeze by searching for suitable parking
spots and then steering your vehicle into them. Simply press the “Park Assistant”
button, then drive along potential parking spaces on the left or right side of the
road, staying below mph and no more than five feet away. Using ultrasonic
sensors integrated into the side indicators, the system searches for and meas-
ures parking spaces. When a space at least four feet longer than your vehicle is
spotted, it is shown on your Control Display. Shift into reverse and Park Assistant
takes control of steering your vehicle into the selected space; you operate the
accelerator and brake pedals. The acoustic and visual warnings of Park Distance
Control (PDC) provide assistance.
Rear-view Camera shows on the Control Display the area behind your
vehicle. Working with Park Distance Control, interactive guidelines indicate if a
parking space can accommodate the vehicle, and display parking trajectories
and turn angles. The Rear-view Camera is activated by engaging reverse gear.
/
Park Distance Control (PDC) uses eight sensors – four in the front,
four in the rear – to help you judge how close you are to other vehicles and
unseen objects when parking. The warning beeps come faster as the bumper
approaches the object, turning into a constant tone when the distance is less
than 12 inches.
Side- and Top-view Cameras display video images on the Control Display
of traffic approaching the front of the vehicle from the sides, such as when exiting
a garage or parking space, by using cameras positioned in the front bumpers.
The Top-view Camera provides video images of the road alongside doors, taken
by cameras positioned in the exterior mirrors. (Delayed availability for Side-view
cameras.)
