s Xenon Adaptive Headlights optimize road illumination when the X5 enters a curve or bend, helping to enhance visibility when driving at night.
Sensors continuously monitor the angle of the steering wheel to determine the direction in which the X5 is heading. The outer headlights swivel
accordingly, up to 15 degrees left or right.
Xenon low- and high-beam headlights illuminate the road ahead and to the side with brilliant clarity. An auto-leveling feature adjusts for varying
passenger and cargo loads. The Corona headlight-rings that circle both headlights and high beams also act separately as Daytime Running
Lights and parking lights.

Active Ventilated Seat Package1
For the ultimate in driver and front-pas senger
comfort, BMW offers the Active Ventilated
Seat Package. Highly supportive 20-way
power multi-contour front seats are upholstered in perforated leather upholstery. The
internal sections of the seats contain multiple
fans that provide forced ventilation through
a permeable, “sandwich” seat layer. In cooler
weather, temperature-adjustable air flows
through the seat and seatback, providing
welcome warmth. In warmer weather, air circulates through the seat, dissipating perspiration.
Combining multi-contour support, ventilation,
