Package
Name: Driver Assistance Plus II
Description: Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go, which when engaged, operates as normal cruise control until it senses a slower moving vehicle directly ahead. At that time, the cruise control matches the speed of the 7 Series to that of the slower moving vehicle, maintaining a driver selected, pre-set distance between the two vehicles. The Stop & Go function will bring the 7 Series to a complete stop if the vehicle ahead stops. Upon application of the accelerator, Active Cruise Control allows the car to start moving again. Once there's no longer any nearby slower moving traffic ahead, the cruise control resumes the initial speed set by the driver.; Traffic Jam Assistant, which when activated and the driver has one or both hands on the steering wheel, will make small steering adjustments during low speed travel; Active Lane Keeping Assistant with Side Collision Avoidance, the former keeping the car centered within a given lane and the latter making the car veer away from a vehicle that is drifting from either side of the 7 Series towards it.

The opposite phase motion enables the car to make tighter turns than it otherwise could, while the same phase motion enhances the car's high speed stability. The amount of rear wheel steer varies, based on the angle the front wheels are steered.; Active Comfort Drive with Road Preview. Active Comfort Drive adjusts the suspension between firm and soft, adapting to the way in which the car is driven and whether the road is straight or curvy. The suspension is smoother when the car is driven straight and is firmed when the car is taken into curves, the firm setting reducing how much the car leans when cornering. Road Preview anticipates the type of suspension firmness required ahead by using data from the navigation system. Active Comfort Drive draws from Road Preview's information and calibrates the suspension accordingly.; Black brake calipers

The best way to check a car, in addition to an on-site inspection, is to purchase a Carfax and NVMtis report – leading services providing information about vehicles. Obtain comprehensive details about the car, including repair history, mileage, insurance data, and much more, to make an informed decision when buying a used car.
We deliver cars using maritime transport for efficiency and safety. After processing the necessary documents, we transport the car to the nearest port, where it is loaded onto a ship for secure delivery to the destination. For the final leg of delivery from the port to the customer's home, we use ground transportation in the form of car carriers. Our process ensures reliable and timely delivery of your car.
Throughout the entire delivery process, our cars undergo thorough protection. They are insured for the entire transportation period, ensuring safety and coverage of potential risks. Additionally, to prevent damage and preserve the exterior, we use car covers, and inside the car, we install moisture absorbers. These measures ensure the preservation of cars in excellent condition throughout the entire journey to the customer.
To participate in a car auction in the USA or Canada, you need to register on our website, make a small deposit (a mandatory requirement for all auctions), and then specify the desired maximum bid for the car. If the car is sold for the amount you specified or even less, you will become its owner. In some auctions, you may also need to wait for the seller's approval of the final bid.
