BMW is promoting its technological prowess to increase interest in its range of vehicles.
Two safety innovations Night Vision and High-Beam Assistant will be available on selected models in the Middle East from October, and will enable motorists to see better in the dark.
Night Vision enables early detection of far-off people and animals.
It will be made available on the 7 Series next month and extended to the 5 Series and 6 Series early next year.
High-Beam Assistant a system that automatically sets the Bi-Xenon headlights to the optimum range and brightness depending on other traffic movements will be available on the BMW 5, 6 and 7 Series models from October.
Customers can specify both systems as options immediately
"Night Vision generates a clear image of the road ahead up to 300 metres away, nearly twice the distance of other systems." said Guenther Seemann, managing director of the BMW Group Middle East.
BMW Night Vision adds an infrared camera that "illuminates" objects emitting heat. The brightness of the image displayed on the central iDrive monitor varies in line with the amount of heat sensed by the camera.
The High-Beam Assistant, a sensor at the front of the car, detects any oncoming light source, allowing the car to automatically switch between high and low beams for the best level of illumination; the car's lights automatically dip when other vehicles' headlights, street lamps or even an oncoming cyclist are detected.
