New System Description
The E60 is the fifth edition of the BMW 5 Series replacing the E39. The automobile revolution in design and engineering initiated by the E65/E66 now finds its logical continuation in the E60. Virtually all the significant innovations of the 7 Series are also offered in the 5 Series.
However the E60 also offers new features of its own, some of which will make their appearance in other model series in due time. The most important of these new features are:
^ Active steering system, whose variable reduction ratio adapts itself to the relevant driving situation.
^ Lightweight design with a front end structure of bonded and riveted aluminum (GRAV).
^ Headup display, which projects the most important information such as vehicle speed or navigation arrows in the form of a virtual image directly into the drivers field of vision.
^ Adaptive directional headlight system, which adapts itself continuously to the steering angle and thus illuminates the approaching bend.
