BMW Motability Adaptations

BMW Disability Cars

As a disabled person or someone with limited mobility, we’re taking the struggle out of inaccessible vehicles and instead, creating a smooth and tailored driving experience. If you already own a BMW Motability car, are considering one, or even looking to privately purchase one, we have a wide range of adaptations to support a variety of mobility needs. 

BMW Motability cars are known for combining premium quality, comfort, and performance. With a range of models available, including petrol, diesel, electric and hybrid – BMW offers something to suit every lifestyle and driving preference. Their reputation for reliability and modern designs make them a great choice for drivers seeking both style and substance. 

You can also explore other car manufacturers that are suitable for disability adaptations if you’re still deciding which car is right for you.

Available BMW Motability Adaptations

Vehicle adaptations are a practical and accessible solution that open up a wider choice of BMW Motability models to suit your individual needs and preferences. They allow you to enjoy all the premium features, comfort, and performance that BMW is known for — while ensuring the car is fully tailored to your access and driving requirements.

Driving Aids for BMW’s

When considering your driving experience, safety is crucial, both for you, your passengers and everyone else on the road. There are many driving aids that can enhance how you drive your BMW, such as:

• Hand controls enable you to operate the acceleration and brake from your hands rather than your feet.
• Left Foot Accelerators can be fitted to the left of the brake pedal, in automatic cars, to allow operation with your left foot.
• Steering Aids enable the one-handed operation of a vehicle’s steering wheel; these are often paired with hand controls.
• Remote Control Devices allow drivers with limited mobility to steer the car and operate a range of secondary functions, such as the indicators, horn, headlights and wipers – from one device.

Load Your Mobility Device into Your BMW

You can also look at ways to lift, store and carry your wheelchair or mobility scooter when driving your BMW. 

• Car Boot Hoists will lift your mobility scooter or wheelchair and load it into the boot of your car via lifting points and a simple remote control. 
• Wheelchair Rooftop Boxes  can lift, stow and retrieve a manual wheelchair in less than 90 seconds.
• Platform Lifts enable you to simply drive your mobility scooter or wheelchair onto the platform, step off and use the remote control to safely lift your device into the boot of your car.

Effortless Transfers into Your BMW

We make getting in and out of your BMW easier and smoother, either seated from a mobility device or standing:

• Transfer Plates provide a temporary stable platform on which to pause and pivot either from standing or a mobility device. 
• Person Hoists lift you, or your passenger, via a fitted sling and hoists you or your passenger out of your mobility device and into the car. 
• Swivel Seats enable easy access by turning up to 90 degrees outside the vehicle, lowering, and even transferring from the vehicle entirely onto a wheelchair frame.
• Side Steps provide an additional platform to reduce the step height from the ground to the vehicle floor in larger vehicles. 

Choosing The Right BMW Disability Adaptations

Once you’ve chosen the BMW model that suits your lifestyle, the next step is to contact a vehicle adaptations specialist for advice on which BMW Motability adaptations you may need and to ensure compatibility with your chosen vehicle. Not all adaptations are suitable for every car, so it’s important to confirm that your selected BMW can accommodate the specific products you require.

At Mobility in Motion, we make this process simple, supportive and stress-free with our complimentary mobility assessments. We come out to your home or provide an online assessment to discuss your current driving abilities and mobility requirements, recommend the suitable adaptations, check vehicle compatibility and provide full product demonstrations. We encourage you to look at everything available to help you travel in a way that works for your needs and your lifestyle.?

What Funding Is Available For BMW Motability Adaptations?

The Motability Scheme’s mission is to provide worry-free and affordable motoring for those within the disability community, so not only does this funding apply towards your car, but it extends to adaptations. Many are even available at no extra cost, as long as they’re fitted at the start of your lease. 

However, personal circumstances may change so if you require adaptations mid-way through your lease, you will need to speak with Motability as they may offer a mid-lease grant. Motability will look at this on a case by case basis and conduct a means tested assessment to see whether you qualify for charitable funding. 

If you’re not on the Motability Scheme, it’s possible that you may qualify for a grant or funding for your adaptation from a relevant charity.

Alternatively, if you are registered disabled and looking to privately purchase your new vehicle, you can qualify for VAT exemption and use the money saved to buy your adaptations. Or simply buy the adaptations directly through us!
