Safety Features

2014 BMW M5 4 DR RWD Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2014 BMW M5 4 DR RWD

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC is an advanced safety feature in vehicles designed to help drivers maintain control during challenging driving conditions. By continuously monitoring various factors such as steering angle, vehicle speed, and individual wheel speeds, ESC can detect and reduce the risk of skidding or loss of control. It achieves this by automatically applying brakes to specific wheels to stabilize the vehicle.

Standard
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is a safety feature in vehicles that helps prevent frontal collisions by alerting the driver of an imminent collision with a vehicle or obstacle ahead. Using sensors such as radar or cameras, FCW monitors the distance and speed of vehicles in front, and if it detects a potential collision, it provides visual and/or auditory warnings to prompt the driver to take evasive action.

Optional
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is a safety feature in vehicles that alerts drivers when their vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without signaling. Utilizing cameras or sensors to monitor lane markings on the road, LDW detects when the vehicle crosses these lines and triggers visual, auditory, or haptic alerts to notify the driver of potential lane departure.

Complaint:
"my car (a 2014 bmw m5 with only approx. 39k miles) has a known issue with defective fuel injectors (manufactured by bosch, subsequently replaced by an upgraded part). in fact, in 2018 bmw issued me and other owners with an extended warranty for the fuel injectors for 10 years/120,000 miles (see attached copy). however, in my opinion and based on a 9/7/2022 failure incident i experienced the defective fuel injectors should have resulted in a safety recall. previously, my car experienced a check engine light in august 2022. the dealership suspected one or more leaking fuel injectors and noted as such on my repair invoice, but i was told due to the testing protocol which bmw requires they could not replace any of the fuel injectors. bmw's testing protocol also resulted in me incurring a large bill of almost $1,100 due to the diagnosis labor involved. on 9/7/2022 while i was driving on the highway at approximately 70 miles an hour, 2 fuel injectors failed (out of 8 injectors, confirmed by subsequent repair) which resulted in a sudden and complete loss of engine power while maneuvering in traffic. i am extremely lucky the sudden loss of engine power did not result in an accident, and i was able to take a highway exit using the vehicle's momentum. upon exiting the highway, my car's engine completely died and would not re-start. this resulted in my car obstructing the road where it almost caused several accidents and necessitated a 911 call by me to obtain police assistance to get my vehicle out of the way. after this frightening experience and due to the high failure rate i already experienced with 2 out of 8 injectors, i contacted bmw customer service and attempted to get the remaining 6 injectors replaced. bmw refuses to replace the remaining injectors and stated they would only replace a specific injector after failure. i urge the nhtsa to require bmw to perform a safety related recall for this known fuel injector issue."
