Valvetronic is a designation for BMW engines equipped with a variable valve lift system. It is a system that, combined with variable valve timing, allows changing the position of the camshaft independently of the position of the crankshaft. It can also change the lift and length of time the valve is open.

This technology is used to optimize engine parameters. Thanks to the Valvetronic system, engines achieve higher performance, lower fuel consumption, and lower emissions.

Adaptive Drive is a system of active chassis regulation, developed by the automobile company BMW. This system allows you to adjust the characteristics of the car's chassis, according to the driver's requirements or automatically depending on driving conditions and road quality.

The active chassis control system combines the DCC (Dynamic Chassis Control) and Dynamic Drive (active stabilizers) systems.

Car dashboard lights are nothing new, but as technology advanced, so did the variety of symbols on your car dashboard. Some of these symbols illuminate every time you start your vehicle, though no worries unless they stay on after you start the engine.

In a nutshell, the purpose of the car dashboard symbols is to either inform or warn the driver. For instance, the high-beam symbol illuminates when you turn on your high-beam lights. It has only an informative character. On the other hand, if the check engine symbol illuminates, you should start to worry.
