BMW 5 Series Safety

BMW 5 Series Safety Ratings

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, or IIHS, gives the 2021 BMW 5 Series excellent ratings for both Crashworthiness and Crash Avoidance & Mitigation-the highest possible ratings, as a matter of fact.

Its driver-assistive features help it earn such a high safety rating. For example, the standard Automatic High Beams help drivers stay safe. Curve-adaptive LED headlights help drivers see more than ever on dark roads, even around bends.

The standard Frontal Collision Warning contributes to the BMW 5 Series safety too. You can quickly detect other vehicles, stationary objects, cyclists, and pedestrians with this feature. It can even hit the brakes autonomously to help prevent or mitigate a collision.

Safety Features of the BMW 5 Series

Every BMW 5 Series comes with a comprehensive suite of driver-assist features that enhance safety on the road. In addition to the ones highlighted by the IIHS above, others include:

• Lane Departure Warning with Steering Correction: This feature uses sensors to detect your position in the lane, and if you unintentionally start to veer, an alert will sound. The vehicle can autonomously provide gentle steering corrections, if needed.
• Active Blind Spot Detection: Lane changes on the I-70 are smoother than ever with this feature that can sense the presence of another vehicle in your blind spot.

For even more peace of mind on the road, high-tech driver-assist features are available in the optional Driving Assistance Professional Package, which includes capabilities such as:

• Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go: Set a distance limit from the car in front of you, and your BMW will adjust its speed and acceleration to maintain that distance. It's great for stop-and-go traffic!
• Extended Traffic Jam Assistant: Relax with this feature that allows for extended hands-free operation on some highways.
• Emergency Stop Assistant: This intelligent feature can help guide your BMW to the shoulder and bring it to a halt in an emergency situation.

As a leader on the track and in traffic, the BMW 5 Series has the progressive technologies you need to enjoy your drive to the fullest while staying safe.

Is the BMW 5 Series Safe?

Yes! Cutting-edge driver-assist features make the BMW 5 Series smart, but it's also strong. In addition to the standard safety features, the 5 Series also provides expert handling for more stability on the road.

Maintain control in any road conditions with the standard anti-lock braking system, Dynamic Brake Control, and Cornering Brake Control.

Then, standard drive modes help you customize your sedan's performance to the road, whether you want to hug the curves of a highway or engage extra torque in snowy weather. Driving Dynamics Control offers three drive modes: ECO PRO, COMFORT, and SPORT.

Opt for a trim equipped with xDrive, the available intelligent all-wheel drive system, to really kick handling capabilities into high gear.
