Dynamic drive
The E63 and E64 in the 6-Series from BMW also have Dynamic Drive (ARS, Active Roll Stabilisation). The
hydraulic Dynamic Drive system is a weight- and energy-optimised active control system for the chassis and
running gear. Dynamic Drive prevents the car from yawing (= pivoting about the longitudinal axis when
cornering). In this way, Dynamic Drive increases directional stability. It is based on vertically split stabilisers on
both axles. Each half of the anti-roll bars has a hydraulic pivot motor, which reacts within milliseconds to adjust
the running gear to changing driving situations.
-
Runflat indicator
The runflat indicator (RPA) also belongs to the standard equipment on the new BMW 6-series. The runflat
indicator is integrated in the DSC control unit. By comparing the speed signals for all four wheels, the system
detects differences in rolling circumference at the individual wheels. A flat tyre is indicated when a discrepancy is
detected.

Tyres with emergency-running characteristics (run-flat tyres)
The E63 and E64 are fitted with tyres with emergency-running characteristics as standard.
These tyres have reinforced sidewalls. This makes the tyres self-supporting: even when deflated, the tyre retains
its strength and does not go flat. In the event of a puncture, therefore, the car can be driven to the next
workshop, as follows: Maximum range of 150 kilometres at medium load and a speed of max. 80 km/h.

Engines
The E63 and the E64 both have the familiar 8-cylinder engine (N62B44).
-
Transmission
The transmissions available for the E63 and E64 are as follows:
•
6-speed manual transmission
•
6-speed automatic transmission
-
Sequential manual transmission
A sequential manual gearbox (SMG) is available for the E63 and the E64. The gears are shifted sequentially.
The driver shifts gear by moving the gear lever in the centre console or by means of the two paddles on the
steering wheel.
