X Series E83 X3 2.5Si (N52K) OFFRD
US version: Seat-occupancy detector
In the US version, the seat-occupancy detector is able to detect the weight class of the occupant:
•
The seat-occupancy detector mat contains pressure-sensitive sensors.
•
The pressure generated by the person sitting on the seat-occupancy detector mat is recorded by the
sensors.
•
The electronic evaluation unit uses the sensor signals to determine the weight class of the person on the
front-passenger seat.

US version:Satellite Digital Audio Radio Service (SDARS)
In the USA, BMW uses the SDARS of "Sirius Satellite Radio Inc.".
SDARS allows digital signal (audio and information signals) to be transmitted.
Audio signals are, e.g.:
-
Music
-
Speech
Information signals are, e.g.:
-
Radio station
-
Artist
-
Music track

York).
The satellites transmit the signals to the mobile SDARS tuner in the vehicle and to stationary aerials on the
ground (to enlarge the reception area).

Starter actuation
The E83 employs the EWS3 plus (EWS = electronic immobiliser). With the EWS3 plus system, the
information "terminal 50 ON" is not forwarded to the DME / DDE (digital engine electronics / digital diesel
electronics) by the starter, but rather directly by the EWS control unit.
