6 Car Safety Features You’ll Find on Today’s BMW Vehicles

Dec 31, 2022

When you own a BMW, not only do you enjoy one of the most luxurious rides around, but you also have one of the safest vehicles on the road. Today’s BMWs come with cutting-edge car safety features, some of which you might never have even heard of. Let’s take a look at six of the best of these safety features, and if you’d like to see them in action, simply pop into your local BMW dealer for a test drive.

Night Vision

Over 50 percent of fatal road accidents occur after dark, even though far fewer drivers are on the road. But your BMW can now mitigate the risks you might face due to poor visibility.

The state-of-the-art Night Vision feature gives you visible and audible alerts when any pedestrians or animals cross your path. The vehicle’s sensors can see in the dark just as well as in the daytime. It will even brake automatically if you fail to respond rapidly enough to a collision warning.

Lane Keeping Assistant

Plenty of accidents are caused by drivers failing to keep in their lane. BMW’s steering and lane control assistant features will vibrate the wheel to alert you if it senses you drifting to either side. It can even provide steering assistance to help you back into your lane.

Blind Spot Monitoring

Every driver has a couple of blind spots to the rear on each side. But with a modern BMW, you’re no longer blind. The car’s sensors will notice any cyclist, motorcyclist, or larger vehicle approaching from the rear, and alert you to its presence.

Traffic Jam Assist

Many minor accidents occur in traffic jams, where constant stop-and-start movements put you at risk of bumps and scraps with other vehicles. The Traffic Jam Assist feature helps you maintain a safe distance from cars to the fore and rear.

Park Assist

Likewise, Park Assist takes all the stress out of those finicky little maneuvers so close to other vehicles. By measuring the exact distances and telling you when to stop or start, you no longer have to depend on your own judgment and guesswork alone.

Speed Limit Assist

One danger every driver faces is of getting a speeding ticket due to a sudden change in speed limits from one area to the next. The Speed Limit Assist feature keeps you in the know by displaying the current speed limit on your dashboard and automatically adjusting it as you go. The Road Sign Recognition Feature also helps with this, scanning all road signs and blinking them up on your display.

See More At Your Local BMW Dealer

There are many more safety features in a modern BMW, including all kinds of automatic safety measures in event of a collision, such as three types of airbags and an automatic emergency call feature. If you’d like to learn more, all you need do is visit your local dealership and ask for a demonstration.
