Driving Pleasure

THE BMW  SERIES COUPÉ.

CONDENSED INTENSITY.

First it pulls you in. Then it takes off.

Pure energy. Exploited to perfection
b y B M W E f fi c i e n t D y n a m i c s .

The long wheelbase, the muscular fl anks – a dynamically
elegant design that leaves a lasting impression.

Wins the race before it even starts.

Reach out and hold your dreams in your hand.

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
ba tte r y.
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 more
information on all equipment details.

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, thus reducing
deformation.

Electric Power Steering

In comparison with conventional, hydraulic
steering systems, the electrical steering only
uses energy during actual steering. When the
steering wheel is in a constant position – for
example at high speed along the motorway –
the electric motor is inactive.

This has gone in.

The pleasure yo u get from driving a BM W is the result of fi ne engineerin g – always setting the be nchmark because it i s 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 whilst 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. This ensures an outstanding power­to-consumption ratio.

Auto Start/Stop function

BMW four-cylinder engines with six-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
six-speed manual transmission comes in. It
shows the driver what gear to use in order to
drive more effi ciently.

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.

Less emissions. More driving pleasure.

s Standard equipment o Optional equipment

o Lights package comprises vicinity lights,

which illuminate the area outside the doors
for 20 seconds after the door is opened
to enable safe vehicle access in the dark.
Also included: reading lights front and rear,
footwell illumination at the front, vanity mirror
lights for driver and front passenger and
ambient lighting.

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, incl. Adaptive Headlights:
optimal and prompt illumination of bends through electromechanical control of the moveable lamps as soon as the driver turns.
o High-beam assistant aides safer night driving by automatically switching between high and low beam when traffic is approaching or ahead, and
when street lighting is sufficient.

o Fog lights (shown here with M sports package)
integrated in the front apron ensure extra safety
in poor visibility. Option includes exterior mirror
heating and screen washer nozzles (standard on
125i and 123d, not available for 135i).
