DRIVING TIPS
Use the coasting function when driving down-
hill. Press accelerator pedal just enough that
the vehicle rolls.
With adaptive energy recovery: do not step on
the accelerator pedal. Coasting and decelera-
tion are automatically adapted to the respec-
tive driving situation.
Switching off any functions that are
not currently needed
Functions such as seat heating and the rear
window defroster require a lot of energy and
reduce the range, especially in city traffic and
with stop-and-go driving.
Switch off these functions if they are not
needed.
The Efficient My Mode helps to save energy
when using comfort functions. In Efficient
mode, the performance of comfort functions is
automatically reduced.
Having maintenance carried out
Have the vehicle maintained regularly to ach-
ieve optimal vehicle efficiency and service life.
BMW recommends that maintenance work be
performed by a BMW service center.
Also refer to BMW Maintenance System.
Adaptive recuperation
Principle
The adaptive recuperation supports an adap-
tive and comfort-oriented driving style.
Various sensors analyze the current driving sit-
uation, e.g., the distance to the vehicle in front.
General information
Adaptive recuperation is available depending
on the equipment and national-market version.
The system decides based on the situation
if and how much the energy is recovered
through recuperation or if the vehicle coasts.

Depending on the strength of the recupera-
tion, the vehicle is decelerated differently while
coasting.
Setting the recuperation level
The recuperation level can be adjusted.
Additional information:
Driving in detail: eDRIVE, refer to page 123.

Coasting
Principle
The electric drivetrain makes it possible to roll
without consuming energy. This driving condi-
tion is referred to as coasting.
