BMW X5: Adaptive chassis

Principle

The adaptive suspension is an intelligent controllable suspension.

The chassis reduces body movements with a sporty driving style or on an uneven road.

General information

The intelligent control of the chassis increases the driving dynamics and driving comfort depending on the road condition and driving style.

Tuning

The system offers different shock absorber settings ranging from comfortable travel to sporty driving.

The shock absorbers are adjusted depending on the road condition and driving style as well as, depending on the equipment, the selected driving mode.

Additional information: Driving Dynamics Control.

Active roll stabilization

Principle

Active roll stabilization reduces the roll tendency of the body that occurs during rapid cornering or during quick evasive maneuvers.

General information

The lateral tilt of the vehicle is balanced out by permanent adjustment on the front and rear axles. The vehicle is thus always stabilized.

Agility and driving comfort are increased under all driving conditions.

Tuning

The system offers different settings ranging from comfortable travel to sporty driving.

The settings are assigned to the different driving modes of the Driving Dynamics Control.

Additional information: Driving Dynamics Control.

Adaptive M chassis

Principle

The Adaptive M chassis is an intelligent, controllable chassis.

The chassis reduces body movements with a sporty driving style or on an uneven road.

General information

The intelligent control of the chassis increases the driving dynamics and driving comfort depending on the road condition and driving style.

Depending on the equipment, the rear axle lock differential will be adjusted for the traction conditions as needed.

Tuning

The system offers different shock absorber settings ranging from comfortable travel to sporty driving.

The shock absorbers are adjusted depending on the selected driving mode as well as the road condition and driving style.

Adaptive M Chassis Professional

Principle

The Adaptive M Chassis Professional is an actively controlled sport chassis/suspension. The system increases driving comfort and minimizes the lateral tilt when driving around curves.

The Adaptive M Chassis Professional encompasses the following systems:

• Sport chassis.
• Adaptive chassis.
• Active roll stabilization.
• Integral Active Steering.

General information

For active control, this system uses the available information, for instance from the navigation system or the Driving style analysis.

This information influences the control of the following systems, especially in ADAPTIVE driving mode:

• Adaptive chassis.
• Active roll stabilization.
• Integral Active Steering.

This further increases the agility and comfort of the vehicle.

The function may be restricted if the navigation data is invalid, outdated or not available, for example.

Depending on the equipment, the rear axle lock differential will be adjusted for the traction conditions as needed.

Performance Control

Performance Control enhances the agility of the vehicle.

To increase maneuverability, wheels are braked individually when a sporty driving style is used.

Engine sound

Depending on the equipment and national-market version, you may be able to configure the sound of the engine.

1. "CAR".

2. "Settings".

3. "General settings".

4. "Engine sound".

5. Select the desired setting.
