Pittsburgh, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/12/2011 -- Pittsburgh drivers can now experience the 2012 BMW 5 Series at P&W BMW. Innovative technologies, reliable safety features, and solid performance are all offered when driving the 2012 BMW 5 Series.

An abundance of innovative technologies can be found on the 2012 BMW 5 Series. To provide comfort to everyone on board, the 2012 5 Series’ four-zone automatic climate control allows front and rear passengers to customize their climate settings. The iDrive system inside the 2012 BMW 5 Series allows the driver to control the technology in the vehicle with a controller. Technology such as the navigation system, Internet-based services, Google Local Search, or radio stations can all be controlled by using the button on the iDrive controller.

In addition to technology for comfort, the 2012 BMW 5 Series offers innovative safety features to secure everyone on board. Several camera and sensors on the 2012 5 Series continually scan the road for dangerous driving situations. The Lane Change Warning sensors in the rear of the vehicle display a symbol on the side-view mirror if a vehicle is quickly approaching from the back or if a vehicle is in the driver’s blind spot. If an accident does occur, the 5 Series’ Advanced Emergency Call system immediately calls for help and provides the emergency dispatch with information about the car’s position and what type of accident occurred.

The 2012 BMW 5 Series also offers impressive performance to drivers. Equipped with a BMW TwinPower Turbo V8 engine, the 2012 5 Series can fly by other cars on the road. With the 5 Series’ Integral Active Steering, the vehicle can maneuver around tight corners and turns with ease. While traveling under 37 MPH, the 2012 BMW 5 Series takes turns with precision by steering the front and rear wheels in the opposite direction. Adding to this sedan’s performance is the ability to achieve up to 34 MPG on the highway.
