The BMW Z3 is a roadster that is manufactured by the German automotive company as its first mass-produced roadster. It was released in the year 1996, after it was featured and used in the hit James Bond movie, Golden Eye. It enjoyed immense popularity when it was produced and was followed by the Z4. One of this vehicle's key standard safety features is electronic stability control, which is prevalent among cars of this class. This system is responsible for the automobile's stability by detecting loss of traction as well as trying to reduce it. The central control helps to reduce traction or skidding by applying the brakes automatically when the level detected is dangerous. The car itself can sense which wheels need the braking system activated and does this both automatically and individually to compensate for the loss. It then steers the vehicle to the direction that the driver is steering it. The system may include a feature that reduces the power of the engine in order to be able to control the automobile more and try to prevent any accidents. Another safety feature of the BMW Z3 is the deployment of airbags that are tempered according to the severity of the impact. The vehicle has several airbags in it and the control unit in the vehicle is able to make a decision in just milliseconds as to which seats have passengers in them and which airbags to deploy. This helps to keep the passengers and the driver of the vehicle safe from the impact of the collisions as well as safe from the severity of the deployment. Airbags are instrumental to saving lives and preventing severe injuries to the driver and the passengers of the vehicle, but they cannot always be expected to save lives based on how severe the collisions or the impact of the accident may be. Other safety features that can be added onto the BMW Z3 are warning systems that can help drivers keep to their lanes. These add-ons include, but are not limited to, a system that warns if the vehicle leaves its lane and a system that assesses how close the car is to the vehicle in front of it. The system that senses when the car leaves its lane or swerves away from it only does so when there is no activated turn signal. The car can sense the distance between the vehicle in front of it and itself, thus can slow down or stop if the one in front does so. This system can usually help prevent most head on collisions as well as prevent injuries on the part of the driver. Both features are very useful for times when the driver might have fallen asleep at the wheel. These are just a few of the safety features that come with the BMW Z3 or can be added to it when purchasing it at the dealership. More information about these can be found at dealerships.
