Leaked 2017 BMW 5-Series Ordering Guide Reveals Autonomous Features

The 2017 BMW 5-Series has yet to be revealed but the North American ordering guide for the model has emerged online thanks to Bimmer Post.

The guide reveals that for the 2017 model year, North American customers will be able to choose between the 530i and 540i in either rear-wheel or all-wheel drive configurations. It is believed that in the months following the car’s local launch, a 550i model will be added to the range.

While the guide offers details about every single paint shade available for the range as well as all the standard and optional features, perhaps the most interesting are the autonomous packages the car will be available with.

The guide reveals three separate Driver Assistance packages for the sedan. The first package will consist of a head-up display, Park Distance Control system, rear view camera and parking assistant. The second package, dubbed Driver Assistance Plus, includes an active driving assistant, an improved self-parking setup, blind spot detection, daytime pedestrian protection, front collision warning, lane departure warning and a surround view camera.

It is the Driver Assistance Plus II where the new semi-autonomous systems will be found. They include active cruise control with a stop and go functionality. There’s also active lane keep with side collision avoidance, traffic jam assistant and autonomous lane changing.

Beyond these technologies, the new 5-Series will be available with a host of other packages across the exterior and interior, including the M Sport Package and Luxury Package.
