This has gone in.
Common Rail technology
The third-generation, electronically controlled
common rail system generates injection
pressure of up to 1,800 bar. So fuel injection
is even more precise and finely measured,
thus reducing consumption as well as
exhaust emission levels, while boosting
engine power.
Lightweight construction
Our engineers use aluminium where lighter
materials are more expedient, for instance in
the front section or for the suspension. The
six-cylinder in-line petrol engine, for instance,
is composed of aluminium and magnesium,
making these engines the lightest in their
class. The weight savings lead to lower fuel
consumption and better axle load distribution,
for more agility, especially in bends.
Some BMW EfficientDynamics features are dependent on vehicle
equipment and may not be available for all vehicles. Your BMW
partner will be happy to provide you with information about 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, therefore
reducing deformation.
Air vent control*
Engine management signals the engine’s
current cooling capacity requirements
constantly while driving, rendering a
permanent airstream through the radiator
unnecessary. The air vents in front of the
radiator open or close depending on the
environmental temperature and road speed.
When shut they improve aerodynamics,
shorten the engine’s warm-up time and so
reduce fuel consumption.
Valvetronic
Valve lift control is fully variable in petrol engines
with Valvetronic. The result is improved cold
start behaviour and smoother running, as well
as a significant drop in fuel consumption.
The pleasure you get from driving a BMW is the result of fine engineering – always setting the benchmark because it is based on much
more than engine power. This is the tradition behind BMW EfficientDynamics. It includes the visionary Hydrogen engine, already used in
completely emission-free BMW Hydrogen 7 vehicles and BMW ActiveHybrid technology, an intelligent, demand-oriented combination
of internal combustion engine and electric motor. Every BMW, in fact, already includes a multi-awarded BMW EfficientDynamics technology
package as standard, boosting dynamics even further while simultaneously reducing fuel consumption and CO
2
emissions.

And this is what comes out.
Thanks to innovative EfficientDynamics
measures, BMW has achieved a significant
reduction in CO
2
emissions on numerous
model variants. But that is only the beginning.
In the interests of BMW EfficientDynamics
we continue our research – for more driving
pleasure and less emissions.
