Side View.

How often have you wished you could take a look around the corner when you’re sitting behind the wheel? Probably in every situation in which your vision has been limited, and you’ve had to creep forward at a snail’s pace into uncertain parts of a road. But things can be so much easier and safer: thanks to Side View from BMW ConnectedDrive.

See what’s coming in advance: with Side View, your BMW always has its eyes open for cross traffic at blind crossings or exit roads, even when your view of the situation is obscured. A glance at the Control Display is enough – it shows you a video display of what the cameras built in to the right and left of your front bumper of your BMW can see. With the help of guidance lines, Side View also shows you the precise position of the front end of your vehicle. The simultaneous view of both traffic directions on the Control Display lets you assess the situation immediately. Even when you’re in motion, if need be, because Side View can also be activated at speeds of up to 15 km/h. Just the press of a button puts you in the picture: with BMW ConnectedDrive.

Depending on your model, Side View is either a stand-alone optional accessory or a component of the Surround View feature package. Please take a look at our model range to find out more.
