CBC
These initials refer to Cornering Brake Control. a system used by BMW and which is an evolution of electronic brake distributors. It reduces the possibility of back axle skids when braking sharply on curves as the pressure is reduced on the rear brakes so as to increase the lateral guidanc on the back axle. When coming out of a curve the system recovers all the braking capacity and can then reduce the braking distance.
