BMW HEAD-UP DISPLAY WITH M

DISPLAY.
The full-colour BMW Head-Up Display with M display projects relevant driving
information directly into your line of sight, allowing you to fully concentrate on
driving.
It displays information from the navigation system and Check Control messages. You
can also have infotainment information displayed such as radio station, track titles,
phone book entries and call lists.
The icons projected onto your windscreen are displayed in a particularly high
resolution and full colour, with traffic symbols reproduced realistically.

The information is displayed on the windscreen to ensure effective ergonomics and
can be individually adapted. The full-colour BMW Head-Up Display is not fully visible
if you are wearing polarised sunglasses.
The illumination intensity is automatically modified to suit the external light
conditions and the system also features night-time and day-time modes. The
brightness setting can be configured via the iDrive menu. You can also select which
additional information you wish to have displayed in addition to your current speed
and the warnings from the Driver Assistance systems.

iDRIVE TOUCH CONTROLLER.

The iDrive Touch Controller gives you convenient control of the iDrive system with
one hand. Thanks to the touchpad integrated in the Controller, you can easily enter
such information as destinations for the navigation system using your own
handwriting.

You can also use it to access a wide range of functions and settings as well as for
scrolling through lists. Operation is effortless and intuitive by means of touch a
great help for you as the driver since it barely distracts your concentration on the
road. All functions operated using the Controller can be conveniently viewed in the
Control Display.

BMW NIGHT VISION.

Driving in the dark becomes safer. The optional BMW Night Vision from BMW
ConnectedDrive can even see in the dark and warns the driver of any hazards
located outside of the range of the headlights.
An infrared camera positioned behind the BMW kidney grille surveys the area up to

300 metres ahead of the vehicle. Pedestrians and cyclists are identified and
highlighted on the
<On left hand side>
Control Display. Three processors simultaneously calculate the movement of
pedestrians and the course of the BMW M5 Sedan. In critical situations an acoustic
signal and optical warnings indicate the acute hazard. In this way, the driver can
recognise obstacles considerably sooner and thus react in time.

ANTI-DAZZLE HIGH-BEAM ASSISTANT.

The anti-dazzle high-beam assistant makes night-time driving even more pleasant
and safe for you. It provides excellent visibility in the dark without dazzling other
drivers.
The system detects other road-users and selectively excludes them from the highbeam headlight distribution. Beam ranges of 400 m ensure early detection of risks
and improved directional tracking.

CAMERA SYSTEMS.
Enjoy the view: in the BMW M5 Sedan, the integrated camera systems provide
improved visibility, e.g. at entrances and in traffic situations where visibility is
difficult.
Surround View comprises the rear view camera with Top View and Side View,
providing a 270-degree panorama view: The system assists you during parking or
manoeuvring in tight situations or when navigation in areas where it is difficult to
see.
The rear view camera with Top View uses three cameras in the side mirrors and at
the rear to provide a perfect view of the area to the rear and side of the car.
<On left hand side>
When manoeuvring into a parking space, the driver sees the car from a bird's-eye
perspective showing its exact position. This means road markings and hidden
obstacles are always in view.
Side View enables improved visibility when exiting driveways or side streets.
You can switch between Rear View camera, Surround View and Side View as required.
The selected view will be shown on the Control Display.

ACTIVE PROTECTION.
Active Protection consists of safety components for the BMW M5 Sedan and is the
BMW ConnectedDrive preventive occupant protection system.

If a critical situation arises on the road, the front safety belts are reversibly
pretensioned, the electrically adjustable front passenger seat is returned to the
upright position and the side windows are closed as is the sliding roof, if there is

one. A critical situation would include an emergency stop made by the driver or if the
automobile demonstrated excessive understeer or oversteer.

<On left hand side>

In certain accident situations, maximum deceleration can be applied to your
automobile to bring it to a complete standstill. This helps reduce the likelihood of a
second collision or even prevent one altogether.

The Attentiveness Assistant also monitors your behaviour for signs of fatigue. Your
steering responses are analysed and the system reacts to irregular driving behaviour.
A notification appears in the Control Display suggesting you take a break.
