The driver assistance systems available for the
new BMW i3 and first - ever BMW i3s
ease the driver's workload and provide support
in various traffic
situations, as well as helping with longitudinal and lateral vehicle control.
Electric power steering (EPS)
New standard EPS system provides added efficiency, added driving ease in low - speed situations and when parking, and tuned for added responsiveness during spirited driving All - new, lighter weight axles for RWD and AWD All - new cast - aluminum axles and axle housing provide weight savings and help to reduce parasitic friction Sport mode (Included on 300S, 300C with V - 8 and 300C Platinum models) Enthusiast - desired Sport mode instantly transforms the sedan's performance and personality by: «S» gear selector enables sport engine and transmission calibration, more responsive accelerator pedal calibration and permanent paddle - shift mode «Sport» button enables sport - tuned steering calibration and temporary paddle - shift mode, in addition to sport engine and transmission calibration, and increased responsiveness of the accelerator pedal calibrati
