As function of road speed, this unique steering influences steering forces by
way of Servotronic and the steering angle by means of the Active Steering
Transmission on the front axle.
Integral Active Steering also controls the steering angle on the rear wheels, thus
giving the BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo even greater agility in city traffic and
ensuring extremely smooth and superior lane change and handling in bends
also at high speeds.
Optional for even greater dynamics and additional comfort:
Adaptive Drive.
The BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo is available as an option with Adaptive Drive
combining electronically controlled dampers and active anti-roll stabilisation.
These highly innovative dampers adjust individually both to road conditions
and the driver’s style of motoring in order to prevent any undesired movement
of the car.
BMW is the world’s first car maker to use a damper system with the adjustment
of the inbound and rebound strokes in a continuous, independent process.
At the same time active anti-roll bars on the front and rear axle reduce body
sway in bends to an absolute minimum, thus providing an even higher standard
of comfort and agility.
Featured as standard: Dynamic Drive Control for individual set-up
of the car according to current requirements.
The BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo comes as standard with
Dynamic Drive Control for an individual set-up of the car in all its main features.
This high-tech system influences the progressive curve on the gas pedal,
engine response, the map control line for steering assistance, the gearshift
dynamics on the eight-speed automatic transmission, and the response
thresholds of DSC Dynamic Stability Control.
Dynamic Drive Control is activated by a button on the centre console directly
next to the gear selector lever. Using this toggle function, the driver is able to
choose among the NORMAL, SPORT, and SPORT+ modes. In combination
with Adaptive Drive, the system also serves to control the damper curves by
way of Dynamic Drive Control, in this case providing the additional COMFORT
mode as a further option.
