Introduction - E65: Introduction: Refinements

Only a driver who is in a comfortable and relaxed position in the car can be in full control of it. That is why the optional BMW comfort seat with memory has been further improved.

The 20 way power front comfort seats have many new innovations over the predecessor E38. In addition to electrically adjustable seat cushion depth and backrest width, there are luxury head restraints with side retaining bolsters. Optional seat heating includes a fast heat-up function and adjustable balance between seat cushion and backrest.

Active seats that reduce driver fatigue as first seen on the E38 are also available for the E65 comfort seat and finally, a seat ventilation system optimizes seat climate by means of fans mounted directly in the seat cushions.

The E65 will be equipped with the basic seat in the rear. Head restraints are electrically adjustable if rear airbags are ordered. Heated rear seats are available as well.

A door-closing assistance system (optional: Automatic Soft Close) minimizes the force required to close the doors. The doors will automatically close if they have not been properly closed.

A variable position door brake mechanism on all doors ensures that doors are securely fixed in any open position, there are no pre-set stop positions any more.

Top quality LOGIC 7 Hi-Fi system with dash installed CD changer are as much a natural accessory of the E65 as up to date communication systems (fax and internet planned).

Other new equipment includes such features as a vanity mirror for rear passengers and ventilated storage compartment in the center console.
