Depending on driving conditions, sensors determine the current role and the engine running in anti-roll bars front and rear speed and accuracy develop power-cons. It also puts the power distribution between front and rear axles, steering wheel and adjust the behavior of load variations according to specific needs in each situation and depending on the mode of suspension is selected.
Integral Active Steering: greater flexibility in the city, a comfort in the fast lane changes.
The optional integrated active steering is an exclusive innovation of BMW 5 Series model in the upper middle segment. IAS combines active steering on the front wheels are available on the former model with a rear steering axle, the steering angle and power steering is controlled for the first time in front and behind by an electric motor.
On models equipped with integral active steering, the Servotronic power and is controlled by the steering angle is controlled by a transmission over the work of the active steering on the front axle, in each case depending on the speed on the roads. At the same time also the system rear corner of the wheel varies across a set of concentric motor acting through a drive shaft of the rear axle. Front and rear, Integral Active steering angle set by an electric motor controlled by the control unit receives data at speeds of wheels, steering wheel movement, yaw rate and lateral acceleration for steering optimal behavior in all conditions.
Active Steering on the front wheel allows the driver to steer the car smoothly and easily at low speeds with just a flick of the wheel without a Cross. At high speed, in turn, the same movement of the steering wheel turned with a smaller angle for maximum precision in direction in the corners. rear wheels turn up to 3 degrees, Integral Active Steering improve agility and handling of the car in city traffic and winding mountain road, with rear wheels spinning in the opposite corner of the front wheel steering speeds up to 60 km / h. This not only reduces run circles around 0.5 meters, but also improve the comfort of the vehicle by reducing steering effort required.
At high speeds, active steering integral gives the car very comfortable and an excellent response when changing channels and in the corners. With the rear wheels turn in the same direction as the front wheels, the BMW 5 Series Touring follow the course set by the driver properly and smoothly in any situation. When the direction of change in dynamic driving conditions, because the car was capable of controlling a high level without yaw rate, lateral acceleration increases at the same level. This ensures a significant increase in driving comfort.

In collaboration with Dynamic Damper Control and each of them, Adaptive Drive, there is also the COMFORT mode for smooth driving style, in particular. All this allows the driver to activate pre-configured, totally harmonious set-ups to collect individually through adjustments in accordance with the vehicle powertrain and suspension components.
On the road the differences between the different modes are very clear. sport mode, for example, provides high performance management and more direct answers, more spontaneous directly to the accelerator pedal. In addition, Dynamic Drive Control allows the driver to select the individual settings in sport mode to meet specific needs. With the iDrive control system, so the driver can choose between normal and sport set-up for both the powertrain and suspension components. Therefore, he may, if desired, using sport set-up on transmission components, even if road conditions do not offer a harder damper settings.
Another button allows the driver to select the appropriate settings DSC. For example, it can activate a special traction mode and begin to drive more easily on loose sand or snow. This is influenced by DTC Dynamic Traction Control, a special mode of DSC, increases the response threshold of dynamic stability control. DTP function for driving stability control is also activated in + Sport.
DSC-Off mode This activates an electronic differential lock the same function as the rear wheels to the interest of a more sporty driving style and the ambitious. To optimize traction, skidding drive when accelerating from a hard right turn is slowed, pulling the troops guarding the wheel, unlike other on its axis.
