Rollover Protection System - BMW 1 Series Reference Manual

Rollover Protection System

The design and function of the Rollover Protection System (ROC) is similar to the E93.
The ROC used in the 1 Series has been enhanced with the following features:
• Ski bag option with 380 mm through loading opening will accommodate
2 snowboards or 2 golf bags
• 8 kg lighter compared to the E46/C
• The use of function-inverted mechanisms is much more cost effective.
In the event of an impact, in which the vehicle rolls over, the roll bars extend in millisec-
onds and, together with the top frame, form a well protected area for the occupants.
