Dynamic Drive minimizes body roll and opti-
mizes vehicle stability during cornering and 
evasive maneuvers.
Dynamic Drive is based on active stabilizers on 
the front and rear axles. Suspension compli-
ance adapts to suit driving conditions, varying 
from performance-oriented during cornering to 
smooth and comfort-oriented when the vehicle 
is proceeding in a straight line. During vehicle 
operation, the system continuously runs 
through closed-loop control cycles lasting only 
fractions of a second.
The system assumes operational status each 
time you start the engine.

The warning lamp lights up yellow and 
a message is shown on the Control Dis-
play. There is a malfunction in the sys-

tem. Have the system checked as soon as pos-
sible.

If a malfunction occurs, please remember 
to adapt your speed accordingly, espe-

cially in curves. 
The suspension will be noticeably softer and 
the vehicle will display a greater tendency to tilt 
during cornering and in crosswinds. 
If a message stating that you should stop is 
shown on the Control Display, stop at a suitable 
location and switch off the engine as soon as 
possible. In this case the oil level in the reservoir 
may have dropped below the minimum, possi-
bly owing to a leak in the hydraulic system. Do 
not continue driving, but instead contact your 
BMW center.

<

The Flat Tire Monitor keeps track of the infla-
tion pressures in the tires as you drive. The sys-
tem provides an alert whenever the inflation 
pressure drops significantly in relation to the 
pressure in another tire.
In the event of a pressure loss, the rolling radius 
and therefore the rotation speed of the wheels 
change. This change is detected and signaled 
as a flat tire.

To ensure the reliable signaling of a flat tire, the 
system must be initialized at the correct tire 
inflation pressure.

The initialization must be repeated after 
every correction of the tire inflation pres-

sure and after every tire or wheel change.

<

The Flat Tire Monitor cannot indicate 
sudden severe tire damage caused by 

outside factors and does not detect a natural, 
even pressure drop in all four tires.

<

In the following situations, the system could be 
delayed or malfunction:

>

System has not been initialized

>

Driving on snow-covered or slippery roads

>

Sporty driving style: slip in the drive wheels, 
high lateral acceleration

>

Driving with snow chains

The initialization finishes during driving, 
which can be interrupted at any time. 

When driving resumes, the initialization is auto-
matically continued. 
Do not initialize the system when driving with 
snow chains
