One of the highpoints of the event was the demonstration of some of the unique features in the new BMW 5 Series by the National Sales Manager, Coscharis BMW, Joseph Omokhapue.

Omokhapue explained that the luxury car offers the driver unbeatable support, not only at critical moments, but also in less demanding situations at the wheel, such as traffic jams, slow-moving traffic and monotonous stretches of motorway.

To this end, the 5 Series is fitted as standard with a stereo camera, which teams up with optional radar and ultrasound sensors to monitor the area around the car.

New features in the BMW 5 Series alongside the Evasion Aid and Crossing Traffic Warning, are the Lane Change Assistant and Lane Keeping Assistant with active side collision protection. “The latter keeps an eye on the lane markings and the area around the car, and actively helps the driver to avoid looming collisions by applying corrective steering inputs. Similarly, the Park Assist helps the car to identify available space and park itself with minimal or no assistance from the driver.

Bimmerfest aimed at celebrating BMW achievements and its enthusiasts across the country while highlighting the luxury cars’ performances. There were series of power and performance demonstrations of the BMW cars and motorbikes, as well as display of the latest BMW cars by Coscharis and the brand’s loyalists.
