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 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, includes a multi-award-winning BMW Effi cientDynamics technology package as standard,
boosting even further while simultaneously reducing fuel consumption and CO

-speed automatic transmission Steptronic
The particularly smooth gear shifts of the new
-speed automatic transmission produce greater
engine effi ciency at every speed. The result: a
reduction in fuel consumption of approximately 6 %
and more comfortable gear changes.
Lightweight engineering
Where it makes sense to use light materials, our
engineers use aluminium – for example, in the
front part of the car and the chassis. Additionally,
the roof is entirely aluminium and, thanks to an
aluminium crankcase, the six-cylinder diesel
engine is among the lightest in its class. The
weight savings reduce fuel consumption and
at the same time optimise the axle load
distribution for improved dynamics.
Brake Energy Regeneration*
To supply the battery with electrical energy, the generator is
ordinarily driven using engine power, which demands permanent
fuel consumption. Brake Energy Regeneration means the
generator produces electricity when the driver either takes his
foot off the accelerator or brakes – while coasting, previously
unused kinetic energy is transformed into electrical energy
before being fed into the battery. This fuel-free charging process
is indicated by a symbol on the rev counter.
Some BMW Ef cientDynamics features are dependent on the car's equipment
and are not available for all model variants. Your BMW partner will be happy to
inform you of all equipment details.
AND THIS IS WHAT COMES OUT.
Thanks to the innovative features of BMW Effi cientDynamics,
BMW has been able to signifi cantly reduce CO emissions in
many models. But that's just for starters. We're carrying on our
research with BMW Effi cientDynamics in the quest to bring
you more driving pleasure and lower fuel consumption.
