Modern LED headlights and Adaptive Cornering Light give the BMW 5 Series G30 a safe and intelligent driving experience. The light distribution adjusts dynamically to the course of the road and traffic conditions, so the roadway stays optimally lit without dazzling oncoming drivers. When driving in countries with left-hand traffic, the light distribution can be adjusted via the iDrive menu to prevent glare. The instrument lighting can also be adjusted individually: a knurled wheel allows the brightness to be adjusted steplessly when parking lights or low beams are on. The system thus ensures optimal visibility at all times, both outside and inside, and can be matched to personal preferences.
