Brake Force Display: A simple yet effective way of communicating to following traffic that the car in front is stopping quickly, providing extra advance warning of a potential road hazard ahead. This should help lessen the need for harsh emergency braking by following drivers who now have extra reaction time.
BMW hopes the adoption of Brake Force Display will lead to a reduction in avoidable rear-end collisions as well as help prevent loss of control caused by panic braking in vehicles not equipped with advanced electronic chassis systems such as BMW’s Dynamic Stability Control III.

Brake Force Display works by increasing the intensity of the brake lights in the rear lamp clusters by expanding the number of illuminated LEDs when heavy braking is detected.

The extra lighting is triggered after the anti-lock brake sensors detect a rate of deceleration in excess of 5 m/second.
