BMW Symbiotic Drive.

Seamless interaction between driver and driver assistance systems.

BMW driver assistance systems: intelligent and intuitive.

At BMW, the driver is at the heart of every technological development. BMW driver assistance systems are designed to allow you, the driver, to shape assisted driving up to a certain extent. You can influence the system individually in Neue Klasse models according to your wishes by lightly intervening in steering, braking and acceleration, without switching off driver assistance. This creates an almost symbiotic interaction between driver and vehicle, along with an even smoother driving experience.

Harmonious interaction between driver and driving assistance.

Your BMW can support you in many driving tasks if you want it. It is capable of staying in lane and maintaining distance from the vehicle ahead in stressful situations, such as in busy stop-and-go traffic. However, you can also lightly accelerate, brake and steer, without completely deactivating the systems and having to subsequently reset them. This makes driving easier for you while keeping you involved and responsible. You can already benefit from this symbiotic driving experience with BMW Driving Assistance Plus equipment.

The stated values are based on the mandatory WLTP measurement procedure. The real life values depend on various factors, e.g. cargo weight, driving style, route, weather conditions, auxiliary electrical consumption (including air conditioning), tires, battery state of health.

Driver assistance systems do not relieve you of your personal responsibility to assess the traffic situation correctly. Observe the traffic situation, be ready to take over steering and braking at any time and actively intervene if the situation warrants it.

Innovative: braking that works with you.

BMW Symbiotic Drive achieves the next stage of evolution in Neue Klasse models. Alongside cooperative steering and a cooperative accelerator, the BMW iX3 is the first vehicle to be equipped with cooperative braking. If you would like to reduce speed in certain situations while a set speed is active, you can brake gently without deactivating driver assistance. The intelligent system then accelerates back to the previous speed. This creates an even smoother driving experience, particularly in urban traffic.

Smart systems for relaxed parking and leaving parking spaces.

If you wish, the AI-supported systems will help you to look for a parking space.¹ Your BMW can also perform the parking process, monitored by you. If your BMW is equipped with Parking Assistant Professional, you can pause the parking manoeuvre, get out, and complete the parking manoeuvre on your smartphone from outside the vehicle. This is particularly convenient in very tight parking spaces when it is difficult to get in or out of the car – assistance precisely designed to meet your needs.
