The electrical active stabilizers (EARS) had their series introduction in the
G12. The stabilizers are
available to the customer only as optional equipment in conjunction with further
suspension control
systems (see Highlights chapter). The system has been adopted in full in the G30
with the exception of
the preview function.
The preview function, which was implemented on the G12 using the stereo camera,
is not used on the
G30. For this reason, the name of the optional equipment has been changed from
"Executive Drive
Pro" on the G12 to "Adaptive Drive" or " Dynamic Handling Package" on the G30.

The hub and hole circle diameter on current vehicles produced by the BMW
Group was modified in
03/2014. The hub diameter was reduced from 72.5 mm to 66.5 mm. The hole pattern
was modified
from 5 x 120 (F01/F10) to 5 x 112 (G12/G30).

Since the requirements on the KAFAS camera have further increased in the new
BMW 5 Series, the
KAFAS stereo camera, familiar from the G12, is also used on the G30.

The KAFAS stereo camera is calibrated within a distance of approximately 1.25
mi (2 km) during
driving.
