BMW has released new information about ConnectedDrive Connect system, which can drive the car without you. This means that you, the driver will become useless! Do you remember how people looked at BMWs about 15-20 years ago and said admiringly – that is the car that can drive by itself. Well, now we are close to agree with them. BMW is among the top cars in the world that provides information on its system that allows cars to drive itself.

The latest release today, BMW announced that the system named BMW ConnectedDrive Connect monitors the car in motion on the highway and objects around it, including the movement of the other cars, using GPS and radar systems, sensors of ultra-sound plus video cameras.

Once the system has identified the entire problem, will take the control of the car completely and using the braking and acceleration, acts as a very advanced cruise control system, keeping the distance from other cars and accelerating or hindering in traffic automatically when it is required.

Most importantly, if the CRC detects a vehicle that runs too slow, moving well below the speed limit, running forward, the sensors will be looking for a free band and will go up to 130 km/h, the car will exceed the other car! That is, the car will exceed the maximum of 130 km/h and return on the original band.

The CDC system is new and probably will get more than five years before will be on a car. The future sounds good though because BMW test pilots survived so far to over 5,000 km which were they watch how the car drives by itself.

Until now, if you wanted to make a unique BMW, and when I say to make a unique BMW I am referring to a perspective of dynamic-sport, or opt for outdoor and indoor MPOWER package, or began to rummage through the offer tuner.

The second option was to remove the minus largely personality model, each tuner trying its products to create a more powerful and at the same time, different from the competition. Therefore, if you choose the tuner version, you could say that there you are a BMW owner, but not one that preserves the original spirit of the brand. And so BMW decided to provide a program after sales for BMW enthusiasts. The program is attractive enough to cover most applications.

But let us not forget, BMW Performance addresses to those who want a series model something sportier that came out from the factory. Starting from the outside, which can be personalized with an aerodynamic kit that includes spoiler’s front / rear redesigned and in addition a carbon rear diffuser of the same material and the housing of mirrors are from carbon fiber. It includes redesigned side skirts. Installing an outdoor kit BMW Performance takes about two and a half hours depending on model and condition.

And if you opt for carbon exterior accessories, add one hour to the time spent in service. But the true secrets of BMW Performance Division are found in the body. We’re talking about brakes changed, provided by Brembo, which are included the ventilated front brake discs and perforated piston calipers with six still to front, rear ventilated discs with plus two piston calipers. To these we add the recalibration, DSC and DTC ABS. A complete change of the braking system holds the car in service Performance for three hours and a half. Changing the disks on a BMW 135i takes 45 minutes.

Inside, you can choose to replace some trim with carbon, but the most exotic elements are the front seats and Performance steering wheel. Speaking of sports version of the steering wheel is clad in Alcantara and offers a sensational setting – this is provided at the top with a display controlled by two buttons. Can be viewed on the wheel the lap times, times are stored for up to 30 rounds per 400 meters sprint and 0-40 km / h, 0-60 km / h, and the list goes on.
