The 8-speed Steptronic Sport transmission 1, 3 offers incredibly sporty gear changes. Whether automatic or manual using gearshift paddles or gear lever – for comfortable coasting or incredibly dynamic driving. In SPORT mode and with the gear lever in the left-hand S/M position, the gear shifts are configured for maximum performance. The adaptive suspension 1 makes it possible to adjust the damper characteristics to suit any given driving situation, increasing comfort and driving dynamics. In addition to the standard COMFORT setting for increased driving comfort, the SPORT program offers athletic damper settings. The optional Hill Descent Control (HDC) in the xDrive models is a system which, when activated, ensures that the vehicle can master the steepest downhill runs automatically and safely at just above walking pace, without the driver having to brake. The M Sport brake 1, 3 has four-piston fixed callipers at the front and one-piston floating callipers at the rear in blue with the M designation and features large brake discs to ensure an outstanding braking performance. The M sports exhaust system 3 delivers a dynamic sound, which is determined by the driving mode and modified via the integrated exhaust valve mechanism. The SPORT and SPORT+ 2 programmes, which can be selected via Driving Experience Control, are accentuated by an even more intense engine sound, while the comfort-oriented programme prioritises more discreet engine acoustics. The M Sport differential 3 optimises traction and driving stability when changing lanes or accelerating out of a bend, when taking bends at high speeds or on different road surfaces. Traction is optimised with the help of an electronically operated device that reduces the difference in revolution speed between the rear wheels. SUSPENSIONANDSAFETY.  Active Protection is the BMW ConnectedDrive preventive passenger protection system. Active Protection warns the driver if it detects signs of tiredness, safety belts are pretensioned in critical situations, electric seats are returned to upright positions and the windows and sliding roof are closed. After an accident occurs, the brakes are automatically applied until the car reaches a standstill.  The LED headlights with cornering lights 3 generate a bright and efficient bi-LED light for low and high-beam headlights. The bend lighting and cornering lights with LED technology allow for adaptive light distribution with increased side illumination for city driving. The LED daytime running lights and parking lights in the light tubes of the main headlights create a distinctive feature characteristic of a BMW.  The extremely torsionally stiff but light body construction provides the basis for sporty driving dynamics, high-precision steering and agility. Additionally, it offers passengers the best possible all-round protection.  The Steering and lane control assistant 4 incl. Traffic jam assistant can be activated to support the driver in monotonous traffic situations. At speeds of up to 210 km/h on all road surfaces, the system conveniently supports steering and keeps the vehicle in the centre of its lane. Steering support is possible with or without Active cruise control. 1 Available as optional equipment. 2 Sport+ as standard in conjunction with BMW X3 M40i and BMW X3 M40d and optional with BMW X3 xDrive30i and BMW X3 xDrive30d. 3 Available as standard for BMW X3 M40i and BMW X3 M40d. 4 Part of the Driving Assistant Plus package.  The Variable sport steering 3 with Servotronic creates a direct and agile steering response and ensures less physical effort is required to turn the wheel. It reacts to the angle of the steering wheel with varying steering ratios. This improves handling when driving more dynamically and reduces the effort needed to steer when parking and turning.  Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) permanently assesses the vehicle’s movements and stabilises it using engine and braking regulation when unstable driving conditions are detected. Additional features of DSC are, for example, brake drying, braking readiness or the Hill-Start assistant, which holds the vehicle briefly in place when starting on inclines to prevent it from rolling backwards.
