TUESDAY TECH TIP: Dynamic Traction Control

Winter is just around the corner and the roads in Minnesota become more difficult to drive. Dynamic Traction Control provides better stability and control in slippery road conditions all year long - from packed snow, ice, rain- or oil-slicked roads. The system continually processes data from the anti-lock braking wheel-speed sensors. Just another way BMW is helping keep you safe.

BMW Partners with Other Automakers to Create a Standard Electric Vehicle Fast Charging System

Seven automakers are collaborating on creating a single international standard for an electric vehicle fast charging system to slash the time drivers need to put more juice in their electric cars. 

The system will use a common vehicle inlet/charging connector and will have a standard electronic method for the vehicle to communicate with the charging station. This will allow electric vehicles from Audi, BMW, Daimler, Ford, General Motors, Porsche and Volkswagen to  share the same fast charging stations.

The seven auto manufacturers said “the development of a common charging approach is good for customers, the industry and charging infrastructure providers. Standardization will reduce build complexity for manufacturers, accelerate the installation of common systems internationally and most importantly, improve the ownership experience for EV drivers.”

TUESDAY TECH TIP

TUESDAY TECH TIP: It's a simple idea, really: the better your focus is on the road, the more in control you'll be of any driving situation. Our optional Head-Up Display gives you the ability to see relevant information such as speed and navigation directions, without the need to look down and lose sight of what's ahead of you. The readout appears just beyond the windshield, in your line of vision. It is clear, easy to read, and even responds to light, adjusting its brightness for daytime, nighttime or hazy conditions, making driving more enjoyable.

TUESDAY TECH TIP

When descending steep hills, it's sometimes difficult to maintain stability and keep speed in check by “riding the brake.” When driving under 20 mph on steeper downhill grades, Hill Descent Control (HDC) can be activated by pressing a button on the console. HDC then gently applies the brakes, as necessary, to help reduce the speed to a nearly constant 3-6 mph. You control the speed by adjusting the +/- button for the cruise control on the steering wheel.
