BMW consistently give the driver all the information and services he needs 
and requires at any time. 
To make this possible, BMW ConnectedDrive bundles all innovative offers 
and technologies in the most appropriate manner, making Sheer Driving 
Pleasure even more comfortable, safer and intense, while intentionally leaving 
the task of selecting information and acting appropriately to the driver as the 
commander in control of all activities. 
Benefiting from BMW ConnectedDrive and the innovative driver assistance 
systems offered in this way, the driver gains greater competence, supremacy 
and safety in virtually all driving situations. 
The innovative BMW Parking Assistant: extra comfort ensured 
through fully automatic steering and optimum user guidance. 
The range of comfort- and safety-relevant driver assistance systems offered 
by BMW ConnectedDrive is now being supplemented by yet another 
important innovation: The new BMW 5 Series Sedan is the only car available 
as an option with the BMW Parking Assistant, a new system supporting  
the driver in safely and comfortably manoeuvring into parking spaces running 
parallel to the road. 
The BMW Parking Assistant supports the driver from the start in choosing 
appropriate parking space. Ultrasound sensors integrated in the side indicator 
surrounds consistently measure the length and width of possible parking 
spaces next to the road or on the side lane when travelling at a speed of up  
to 35 km/h. The system thus looks for parking space exceeding the length  
of the car by at least 1.20 metres or 47”. 
Whenever the BMW Parking Assistant is not activated, this measuring 
process is conducted in the background without emitting any particular 
signals. But as soon as the driver comes to a stop and shifts to reverse,  
the iDrive Control Display informs the driver of a suitable parking space  
by presenting an appropriate symbol.  
Once the driver has activated the system, all parking spaces sufficient for  
the car are presented while driving by. 
In both cases the driver simply has to press the Controller to use the Parking 
Assistant for extra convenience. 
From this point on, all the driver has to do is operate the gas and brake pedals 
and supervise the actual driving manoeuvre, while the Parking Assistant
