1.1. Introduction

As in all other BMW models, the operating and control concept of the new BMW 5 Series F10 is based on clear and optimum structuring of the cockpit. A reduced number of switches simplifies the logical operation. The display, indicator and control elements are organized in a hierarchical arrangement corresponding to their function.
