EXPLANATION CHART
The chassis and suspension of the F10 are based on that of the F01, which set new standards in terms of driving dynamics and comfort. The chassis and suspension have been adapted to the F10 requirements resulting in exceptional driving dynamics with a continued very high level of comfort.
The familiar technological innovations from the F01 like Integral Active Steering, Integrated Chassis Management ICM, Dynamic Drive and Electronic Damper Control EDC are also installed in the F10.

5.1.2. System overview
The EPS enables average fuel consumption to be reduced by approx. 0.3 I/100 km (0.317 quart/62miles) compared to a conventional hydraulic steering system. This contributes to a reduction of CO 2 emissions.

EXPLANATION CHART
The EPS steering replaces the conventional hydraulic steering system. EPS is always equipped with the Servotronic function. Using the drive dynamic control switch, two different adjustments can be achieved: "Normal" and "Sporty".
The EPS is less sensitive to disturbance variables such as bumps and steering wheel vibration. It also contributes to the driving safety of the F10 with an active roll damping.
Because there is no oil in the EPS, it is more environmentally friendly than conventional hydraulic steering systems.
The EPS has Active return to center, this delivers optimum driveability. The EPS also makes it possible for the parking assistance to be implemented for the first time in a BMW vehicle.
