Apart from talking about the exteriors and interiors of the BMW vehicle, let us discuss about the Ergonomics - the biotechnology that is involved in building the car. BMW has 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, X, Z4, M and Hybrid series available in the market. Out of which 1, 3, 6, M and Z4 series comes with the convertible model which are very comfortable in utilizing the sun light.

Almost all the models have a feature in common which is the navigation system via the iDrive systems. Four most frequently used controls, Radio, telephone, navigations system and CD can be operated directly by the selection buttons on the controller. The three dimensional display map and the points of interest make the navigation system a very much helpful assistant and also give pleasure to use.

BMW driver can say goodbye to roadside tire changes. Side-wall reinforcement in the BMW tire is capable of being driven a further 150 km even after a flat tire which even reduces the need for a spare tire. In addition to this, if there is a fall in tire pressure, the standard Tire Pressure Indicator (TPI) warns the driver and the driver can take the necessary actions.

Adaptive BMW headlights plays major role in safety measures. On a winding road at nights adaptive head lights move in harmony along the curves. This is made possible by sensors that permanently record the speed and steering angle of the front wheels. While driving in the city, a low beam is used for better illumination of the roads, and when the driver is at higher speeds, the Xenon headlights are raised to increase the visibility. Any ways the completeness of this feature depends on the model that has been opted.

High end sedans are built with cameras for surround view that reveals new perspectives. In the front bumper, two front-end cameras, one on the left and one on the right, to provide an advanced view at crossroads and on narrow roads. The images obtained, are transmitted to the control display, allows the driver to identify any oncoming traffic before it can be seen from the driver’s position. Two additional cameras in the wing mirrors, the Rear View camera also provides side view and welcome support when parking respectively.

Active and passive passengers are protected with active safety systems like, a precisely designed network suspension system, engine management, brakes and tires, and most importantly the airbag system. A split-second protection for the vehicle's occupants is possible through the head-thorax airbags that are ideally positioned in the seats and are deployed as needed to deliver, when a collision being unavoidable. Within fraction of seconds of an impact, it activates the seat belt tensioners, immediately switches off the fuel pump; it opens the central locking and turns on the hazard warning lights.

Besides the company fittings, the low end cars where all the features are not available, the aftermarkets are providing a great necessary and cost effective service to the customers.
