Driving Pleasure |
THE BMW SERIES
CONVERTIBLE.
BRINGS SUMMER TO EVERY ROAD.
Convertibles are made for the sun.
This one is made for the billions of other stars too.
BMW Ef cientDynamics
Less emissions. More driving pleasure.
The night just gained another attraction.
The interior temperature –
as constant as the driving pleasure.
Everything remains calm – except your happiness hormones.
The beauty of this convertible is seen afresh each and every morning.
This has gone in.
The pleasure you get from driving a BMW is the result of fi ne engineering – always setting the benchmark because it is based on much more than engine power. This is the tradition behind BMW Effi cientDynamics. It includes the visionary Hydrogen engine, already used in a number of completely emission-free BMW 7 Series Saloons. Also going into production soon is the BMW ActiveHybrid – an intelligent, demand-oriented combination of internal combustion engine and electric motor. And every BMW already includes a multi-award-winning BMW Effi cientDynamics technology package as standard that boosts dynamics even further while simultaneously reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
High Precision Injection
In this cutting-edge generation of petrol direct injection, the Piezo injectors are positioned very close to the spark plugs. They inject the fuel at high pressure and with extreme precision. With the four-cylinder models, the injectors’ central positioning means only part of the combustion chamber needs to be fi lled with an ignitable petrol-air mixture. The engine can then run “leanly” and so effi ciently, precisely in the heavily used moderate load range.
Electric Power Steering
In comparison with conventional, hydraulic steering systems, the electrical steering only uses energy during actual steering. When the steering wheel position is constant – for example, at high speed along the motorway – the electric motor is inactive.
Auto Start/Stop function
BMW four-cylinder engines with 6-speed manual transmission automatically shut down when the vehicle is stationary, for example
at a red light or in a jam, when the driver activates the clutch and switches to neutral. The engine restarts as soon as the clutch is activated again. This innovation signifi cantly reduces fuel consumption especially in city traffi c.
Optimum Shift Indicator
Timely gear shifts are one of the most effective and easiest ways to save fuel. This is where the Optimum Shift Indicator, in conjunction with 6-speed manual transmission, comes in. It shows the driver what gear to use in order to drive more effi ciently.
Tyres with reduced rolling-resistance
While driving, tyres are constantly changing shape. This uses up energy and thus fuel. Tyres with reduced rolling-resistance have an improved design and use special materials for their road treads and side walls, reducing deformation.
Brake Energy Regeneration
To supply a battery with electrical energy, the generator (alternator) is permanently driven using engine power, which demands additional fuel consumption. Brake Energy Regeneration means the generator usually only generates electricity when the driver takes the foot off the accelerator or the brake – previously unused kinetic energy is transformed in coasting mode into electrical energy before being fed into the battery.
In this way, electricity is generated while coasting, without consuming fuel.
Some BMW EfficientDynamics features are dependent on the car’s equipment and are not available for all model variants. Your BMW partner will be happy to provide you with information on all equipment details.
And this is what comes out.
BMW already offers 24 models with CO2 emissions of 140 g/km and signifi cantly less. But that’s just for starters. We’re carrying on our research with Effi cientDynamics – in the quest to bring you more driving pleasure and less emissions.

s Standard equipment |
o Optional equipment |
o Xenon Headlights for high and low beam, incl. daytime driving lights, four light rings and automatic headlight range control, for better road illumination at night or in bad weather. o Adaptive Headlights with variable light distribution incl. turning lights, only in conjunction with Xenon Headlights: for optimal and prompt illumination of bends through electro-mechanical control of the moveable lamps as soon as the driver turns the steering wheel. o High-beam assistant helps the driver at night by automatically switching from high to low beam for oncoming traffic and cars ahead, or when street lighting is sufficient.
s Rear lights with light sources in LED technology: each taillight is made up of three separate high-performance LED sources, accentuating the tailgate’s dynamic feel.
s Dynamic Braking Lights help vehicles travelling behind you to evaluate your braking more accurately. In the event of an emergency stop, the illuminated area of the brake lights is increased, so traffic following behind can tell in an instant the difference between a light tap on the brake pedal and a hard stop – for increased driving safety.
o Fog lights (standard on 125i and 123d, not available on 135i) integrated in the front apron ensure extra safety in poor visibility. Option includes exterior mirror heating and screen washer nozzles (heated on 125i, 135i and 123d).
o Rain sensor including automatic driving lights control: Once activated, the rain sensor will automatically switch on the windscreen wipers when it begins to rain, adjusting the wiper frequency in line with rainfall intensity. The integrated automatic driving lights control activates the low beam automatically at dusk and in tunnels.
o Lights package includes vicinity lights in the door handles, which upon unlocking the doors illuminate the area outside the doors for 20 seconds to enable safe vehicle access in the dark. Also included: reading lights at the front, footwell illumination at the front, vanity mirror lights for driver and front passenger and ambient lighting.
o Trailer tow hitch with removable ball head (not available on 135i).
