BMW Launches 'BellendTronic'
With the launch of the acclaimed new 3-series, BMW has also revealed
details of a sophisticated new electronics package that is aimed
straight at the new car's core market. Dubbed Bellendtronic, the new
system is fully integrated into the car's control systems and allows a
range of functions including full disablement of the indicators,
perilously late activation of the brakes and an adapted radar cruise
control that allows the driver to sit 4mm from your back bumper in the
outside lane of the M6.
Amongst other neat touches, Bellendtronic can also apply light brake
pressure at all times, covering the wheels in dust, something that will
be a particular benefit if your fleet manager wouldn't let you specify
alloy wheels and you want to disguise ugly plastic rim covers or the
fact that if you weren't such an aspirational little tw@t you'd have
gone for a rather better equipped Honda Accord. Initially Bellendtronic
will be available on the forthcoming 316i and 318i models only, but the
system is expected to become standard fitment for all models in the
smaller 1-series range within a year.
Other German makers are expected to follow BMW's lead, including Audi
who is poised to make certain versions of the A4 available with a rival
system dubbed 'Pushytw@t Plus'.
