THE BMW SERIES COUPÉ.

CONDENSED INTENSITY.

First it pulls you in. Then it takes off.

Pure energy. Exploited to perfection by BMW EfficientDynamics.

The long wheelbase, the muscular flanks – 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.

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 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 power- to-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.

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.

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.

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 more 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.

Less emissions. More driving pleasure.

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, 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.

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.

o Foglights (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).

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.
