Many drivers still remember the days when getting your license required your to successfully parallel park, and even those who never had to demonstrate the skill to pass their driving test often have to deal with squeezing into a tight space on a busy street. But just because we can do something doesn't mean we want to, and now thanks to cutting edge technology from BMW automakers, we don't always have to!
BMW Parking Assistant, available with BMW ConnectedDrive, takes all the guesswork out of parallel parking. And even models without this advanced technology can make parking easier with options like rearview cameras and Park Distance Control.
2017 BMW cars that are equipped with Parking Assistant, like the 2017 BMW 7 Series or the 2017 BMW 5 Series, offer drivers something truly special - almost complete freedom from the difficulties of parallel parking. Your parking assistant will use sensors to help you find a spot that will fit your vehicle without the risk of tapping another vehicle, then guide you through getting into even the tightest spaces. Once you begin parking, the Parking Assistant will steer you while you simply focus on shifting gears and hitting the accelerator or brake. But even BMW cars that don't yet have the full Parking Assistant still make the process easier and safer. The Driver Assistance Package provides drivers with a rearview camera that allows them to see just how close they're getting to the car behind them, or watch for pedestrians when they're pulling out of a parking space. And Park Distance Control takes the camera one step further, utilizing sensors to give you a warning tone when you approach too close to obstacles.
Parking no long has to be the stressful experience we've all tried to avoid. Come in today to experience innovative BMW parking technology in a new BMW 7 Series or a 2017 BMW 320i xDrive.
