Less emissions. More driving pleasure.
The most sustainable car manufacturer in
the world: the BMW Group has now been
ranked sector leader in the respected Dow
Jones Sustainability Indexes for a remarkable
seventh year in a row. The company has also
received a host of accolades for its unique
BMW EfficientDynamics programme. It
was, for example, the first to win the “Grüne
Lenkrad” (Green Steering Wheel), one of
the most important awards for environmental
protection in the automotive arena. This,
for BMW, is simply further motivation to
continue in the pursuit of visionary ideas.
With BMW i, for example, clear sustainability
targets have already been established for
the early strategy and design phases.
BMW EfficientDynamics.
LESS FUEL CONSUMPTION.
MORE DYNAMICS.
The goal of EfficientDynamics is to combine efficiency with driving pleasure and to continuously move closer towards sustainability and
emissions-free mobility. Intelligent energy management is one significant step in this direction. This, along with lightweight construction plus
aerodynamics and engine efficiency measures mean that sustainability can actually be experienced today. What’s more, every BMW features the
latest BMW EfficientDynamics technologies as standard. BMW TwinPower Turbo technology, the Auto Start/Stop function and ECO PRO mode are
just a few of many examples. As for our innovative drive systems, we have developed BMW ActiveHybrid technology, the BMW Hydrogen  with
hydrogen drive and the electrically powered BMW ActiveE. Other new concepts for electro-mobility include the BMW i (Megacity Vehicle) and
the BMW i. These are based on existing BMW EfficientDynamics measures combined with innovations in intelligent lightweight construction,
such as the use of carbon. The reward for all this engineering enterprise is a significant reduction in fuel consumption and emissions united
with enhanced performance and even more driving pleasure.

The innovative power of BMW EfficientDynamics is standard in
every BMW, but it comes across even more distinctively in the
special BMW EfficientDynamics models. The core principle is
simple – minimise losses and maximise energy use. This is done
by systems such as Brake Energy Regeneration, ECO PRO mode
and the Auto Start/Stop function. Longer transmission ratios and
the Optimum Shift Indicator also support highly economical driving.
With the BMW d EfficientDynamics, for instance, this means
average consumption of only . l/ km and extremely low CO
emissions of  g/km.
Thanks to EfficientDynamics, the BMW Group has now reduced
the CO emissions of its new vehicles sold in Europe by  per
cent and  BMW models (as of /) now emit no more than
 g/CO per kilometre. No other manufacturer has been able to
reduce the emissions of its fleet as dramatically and as quickly while
simultaneously achieving a noticeable increase in driving dynamics
– proof that environmentally-friendly mobility and driving pleasure
are an excellent match. By , the BMW Group aims to reduce
the CO emissions of its entire fleet by at least a further  per cent.

EFFICIENCY AND DYNAMICS.
The combination of driving pleasure and efficiency is entering a new dimension. And the
evidence can be seen in the BMW petrol engines with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology.
This innovations package – a new milestone in the BMW EfficientDynamics strategy – ensures a
new optimum of economy and dynamics thanks to the latest fuel injection systems, fully variable
valve timing and innovative turbocharging technology.
The new BMW i Saloon features
an overall concept designed to optimise
energy use. BMW TwinPower Turbo
technology already satisfies the
BMW EfficientDynamics development
goal: it not only reduces fuel consumption
by up to  per cent and cuts emissions –
it also gives the BMW’s acceleration
a palpable boost, compared with the
previous model (BMW i). In addition,
this power packet wins hearts with its
thrilling responsiveness at low engine
speeds.

In fact, when it comes to these values, the multi-award-winning BMW TwinPower Turbo sixcylinder in-line petrol engine sets the global standard. And its proven technology concept is
now used in all of the new-generation . and .-litre petrol engines. The result is even livelier
and more spontaneous responses than that of their predecessors and greater economy.
The new .-litre petrol engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology already features
in many models, including the five-door BMW  Series, the new BMW  Series Saloon, the
BMW  Series Saloon and Touring, the BMW X and the BMW Z.

EFFICIENCY, DYNAMISM, DIESEL –
IT HAS TO BE BMW.
AHEAD OF FUTURE ENVIRONMENTAL
REGULATIONS.
Extremely economical, extremely powerful and extremely smooth, BMW diesel engines embody
the BMW EfficientDynamics philosophy. On the one hand, because they come as standard in
lightweight aluminium construction. On the other, because they feature new BMW TwinPower
Turbo technology. This combines fuel-injection technology such as the latest-generation
CommonRail system, fully variable power control and innovative turbocharging. The result is an
impressive reduction in consumption together with the power delivery expected of BMW.
BMW engineers don’t just accept responsibility, they are driven by it. One significant outcome
of this passion, in regard to pollutant reduction, is the development of BMW BluePerformance
technology for new diesel engines. This feature reduces to a minimum the nitrogen oxides that
every diesel engine generates.
The engine in the new top-of-the-range BMW Md xDrive is best summed up with just one
word: spectacular. Thanks to a unique three-stage turbocharging system with variable turbine
geometry and CommonRail direct injection, the world’s most powerful six-cylinder diesel engine
delivers a combination of pure dynamics and maximum efficiency. In figures:  kW ( hp)

Aerodynamics.
THE FINE ART OF
SWITCHING OFF.
RESISTANCE IS FUTILE.
When an engine isn’t running, it neither consumes fuel nor produces emissions. Which is the
reason why the Auto Start/Stop function switches off the engine when the vehicle comes to a
temporary standstill (at traffic lights, for example).
The engine starts automatically in fractions of a second when the footbrake is released (automatic)
or the clutch is engaged (manual). Auto Start/Stop is standard in many BMW models and plays
a central role in reducing overall consumption and CO output.
www.bmw.com/autostartstop
Many athletes nowadays wear skin-tight gear designed to reduce drag. Aerodynamics is also
a key element in ensuring that a vehicle’s motion is as energy-efficient as possible. That’s why
we developed a feature called the Air Curtain for the BMW  Series Coupé and Convertible, as
well as the new BMW  Series Saloon. This new technology reduces wind resistance at the
wheel arches. Air taken in through vents in the front apron accelerates as the ducts conducting
it narrow. The air is then led to the wheel arches, where it exits, covering the outer faces of the
wheels like a curtain.
Air vent control, fitted in many BMW models, fulfils a similar purpose. It reduces aerodynamic
drag, especially at high speeds, by closing the air vents at the front of the radiator according to
the driving situation and engine temperature. The engine management system continuously
monitors whether the engine requires cooling air and opens or closes the vents accordingly.
The benefits are twofold: a shorter engine warm-up phase and reduced fuel consumption.

The Air Curtain – invisible and incredibly

Brake Energy Regeneration.
FULL OF ENERGY. EVEN WHEN BRAKING.
Every time you brake, you release kinetic energy – energy which for a long time was not
capitalised upon by vehicle design. Brake Energy Regeneration uses this previously wasted
potential to reclaim electricity from the momentum produced when the driver takes their foot
off the accelerator or brakes. This power is then used to recharge the battery. This intelligent
energy management system frees up the generator and makes permanent running of the
alternator redundant. As a result, fuel consumption is reduced and performance increased –
the essence of the BMW EfficientDynamics philosophy.

Intelligent lightweight construction.
LESS WEIGHT.
MORE DRIVING PLEASURE.
Modern lightweight engineering. The Life
module in BMW i vehicles is made solely from
carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP).
12 13
The less weight there is to move, the less energy is consumed. Since the s, BMW has
consistently applied this thinkin to vehicle construction – and constantly improved upon it. There
is a question that perpetually confronts BMW engineers, however: where does a reduction in
weight make sense and where not? The answer lies in intelligent lightweight construction. This
involves the carefully targeted use of ultra-light materials such as magnesium, aluminium and
carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP). The latter is perfect for vehicle construction; stable like
steel, yet around half the weight.
Traditionally the engine supplies the battery
with electrical energy – consuming fuel in the
process.
In a BMW the battery is mostly recharged
using kinetic energy.
Tyres with reduced rolling-resistance.
LESS FRICTION.
LESS FUEL CONSUMPTION.
The use of the high-tech material CFRP in large-scale vehicle production – as in the BMW i
and BMW i – is, to date, unique. It ensures longer range, optimum safety and characteristic
BMW performance. It also guarantees a very long lifespan.
While the car is in motion, the tyres are constantly changing shape, using up energy and fuel.
That’s why BMW uses tyres with reduced rolling-resistance. Optimised tyre construction
combined with the use of special materials in the road treads and side walls minimises
deformation, or “flexing”, thereby reducing fuel consumption.

It doesn’t take long to achieve your first bonus kilometres once ECO PRO mode is activated.
Bonus range gained is shown in the on-board computer along with a small fuel pump symbol.
The potential for saving fuel in city traffic is particularly high in ECO PRO mode. Adopting
a driving style that emphasises anticipation and restrained acceleration, for instance, leads to
excellent economy and only minimal loss of time. With ECO PRO tips, you will also learn
valuable lessons about more efficient driving on trunk roads and motorways.
Seeing the bonus range in the on-board computer will inspire you to drive even more efficiently,
so you can cover the greatest possible distance on a single tank. The BMW EfficientDynamics
display in the rev counter, in conjunction with the optional extended instrument cluster, is also
of particular help here. A blue bar indicates the range where fuel consumption remains at its
optimum. There is a welcome side benefit with ECO PRO, too, because it promotes a calmer
driving style. And that means you always reach your destination feeling relaxed.

BMW innovations always come at the right time. Like for example the Optimum Shift Indicator.

for example recognising the powerful acceleration needed when overtaking and adjusting its
recommendations to suit the higher speed.

Electric Power Steering.
STEER TOWARD EFFICIENCY.
Every turn of the steering wheel requires energy. But why should energy be used when the
wheel isn’t turning? That’s why BMW Electric Power Steering is only active when it’s needed.
In contrast with conventional hydraulic steering systems, this BMW solution only uses energy
while an actual steering manoeuvre is underway. When the steering wheel is static – for example,
when driving at high speed along the motorway – the electric motor is inactive.
www.bmw.com/powersteering
When the steering wheel is static
no energy is expended.
The electric engine is only activated
when the steering wheel is turned.
The BMW Group is regarded as the global
front-runner among car makers when it comes
to dynamics, efficiency and sustainability.
This leading position is the result of decades
of research and thousands of inventions.
And nowhere are these developments more
apparent than in the BMW Museum. One
example is the BMW  racing saloon
and you can see a spectacular replica of
its intricate space frame mounted like a
work of art in the House of Technology. The
original structure of  was a load-bearing
framework of magnesium alloy and weighed
just  kilogrammes. So even then, BMW
saw lightweight construction as a key factor
in creating efficiency and sportiness.

BMW ActiveE.
“ENERGY IS OUR
MOST VALUABLE ASSET.”
Patrick Müller is responsible for the BMW eDrive
technology in the BMW ActiveE and the BMW i
models. In this interview, he explains the special
characteristics and features of the electric motors,
high-performance batteries and electronics. He
also offers insight on how BMW EfficientDynamics
technology has been incorporated into the new
BMW i models.
Engines and drivetrains are of prime
importance for BMW. Is this also the
case for electric vehicles? This is one of
the main reasons why we are developing
these units mainly in-house.
For many people, BMW stands for highperformance, highly efficient engines.
How do the BMW electric motors fit this
picture? The requirements for the BMW i3
and BMW i8 are just as demanding as for all
the other BMW models. Which is why we are
building small, light and powerful engines that
also deliver maximum efficiency.
How do they compare with traditional
engines? The technology is very different.
However, the driving experience remains
typically BMW. We are building the most
dynamic and agile electric cars – with one
or two little differences from those with
conventional drivetrains. In an electric car,
the seamless availability of power right from
a standing start is definitely something
special. A first impression of this is provided
by our BMW ActiveE. It already embodies all
the elements of our future power system, such
as motor, batteries and performance electronics.
18 19
What do drivers think about the driving
range of the BMW ActiveE? Feedback
throughout the study has been positive. Most
people manage very well with the 160-kilometre
range. I actually commute 70 kilometres a day
in my BMW ActiveE and it’s great. Clearly, the
efficient use of electric energy is of paramount
importance. For this reason, we are planning a
special ECO PRO mode for the BMW i3. Initial
experiences with the BMW ActiveE have seen
reach extend by about 25 per cent.
Do the developments from BMW
EfficientDynamics assist in this? Naturally,
we do benefit from the well-known BMW
measures such as low rolling resistance tyres
and energy management for all the auxiliary
equipment. But we’re doing a great deal more
and, for us, every watt counts. In many situations,
for example, our vehicles completely recuperate
brake energy. Essentially, we are pushing the
limits across the board to maximise the benefits
of EfficientDynamics.
What are the most pioneering aspects of
BMW i? With regard to lightweight construction
and electric drive systems, we are at the forefront
– both within BMW and for the whole of the car
industry. Our bodywork consists mainly of carbon
and, at the moment, you can’t build a lighter car.
In tandem with the high-efficiency drive system,
every kilogram we reduce saves energy and
increases range.
DEVELOPED TO ELECTRIFY.
The completely electric-driven BMW ActiveE
is the first emissions-free vehicle from BMW
and is built in a short production run as part
of a pilot project. The experience gained will
contribute to the development of the BMW i.
The ActiveE is based on the new BMW  Series
Coupé and equipped with an electric motor
with maximum power of  kW ( hp) and
 Nm of torque. It also, of course, offers all
the driving pleasure typical of BMW.
Environmental protection is important
to future customers, which is why the
BMW i3 creates no emissions while it’s
being driven. But how do you address
sustainability in the development
programme? For BMW i models, the global
warming potential is at least one third below
that of comparable internal combustion-engined
vehicles. This is due to sustainable production
and the use of recycled and renewable raw
materials. The expenditure of energy for
producing aluminium, for instance, is very high.
This is why we almost exclusively use recycled
aluminium, even in the structures for the housing
of the electric motor and the batteries.
There aren’t many people who have driven
as many electric-car kilometres as you.
What has been the most significant insight?
The absolute quiet in the car is very relaxing. At
the same time, however, it offers a genuinely
dynamic driving experience.

THE MEGACITY VEHICLE.
The BMW i concept is the car for city traffic, designed from top to bottom with sustainability
and emissions-free mobility in mind. Driven entirely by electric power, it embodies the smart way
of getting around town and commuting.
With its  kW ( hp) performance and high torque of  Nm available from standstill, the
electric motor (BMW eDrive technology) on the rear axle ensures agile driving pleasure, which
is also enhanced by the car’s small turning circle. The BMW i accelerates from  to  km/h
in under four seconds and takes less than eight to reach  km/h. The range on one battery
charge is  –  km.
Clever design offers plenty of room in a small space. The LifeDrive structure, perfectly designed

THE SPORTS CAR OF THE FUTURE.
No contradiction: an emotionally charged sports car with the consumption values of a small
car. This is the BMW i concept. One of its secrets is its intelligent construction in carbon fibre
reinforced plastic (CFRP) – as strong as steel, but about  per cent lighter. The Life module
in BMW i vehicles is made solely from CFRP, guaranteeing generous range, optimum safety,
typical BMW driving performance and a very long service life.
The BMW i evolved from the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics. And with its BMW eDrive
PlugIn hybrid concept, it is essentially two cars in one. Thanks to its electric motor (front drive)
it can reach over  km/h on electric power. But in combination with the high performance
BMW TwinPower turbo engine (rear-wheel drive), with its output of  kW, the BMW becomes
a thoroughbred sports car. Overall system output is  kW ( hp), which delivers
acceleration from zero to  km/h in under fi ve seconds and consumption in the EU cycle
of less than three litres per  km – figures that have never been attained by a combustionengine vehicle of this performance stature.
Thanks to its large lithium-ion battery that can be charged from a mains socket, the BMW i concept
can achieve a range of up to  km in purely electric operation. In addition, the +-seater has
sufficient space for four adults, so it is also very practical in daily life.

THE MOST DYNAMIC AND INTELLIGENT WAY
TO DRIVE A HYBRID.
Hybrid technology is one way of achieving lower fuel consumption and reducing emissions.
But only in a BMW does this technology also mean more driving pleasure. The word hybrid
describes the combination of two drive methods which are, generally, a combustion engine
and an electric motor.
BMW ActiveHybrid technology is precisely and appropriately tuned to each model. The first was
the the  Series, available as a BMW ActiveHybrid  since . With this mild hybrid, BMW
has achieved great day-to-day usability combined with an increase in efficiency of up to  per
cent. Two new saloons, the BMW ActiveHybrid  and BMW ActiveHybrid , represent the next
generation of BMW hybrids. These are known as full hybrids and can cover up to four kilometres
under purely electric power and, hence, totally free of emissions.
more dynamism and demand for fuel reduced by a double-digit percentage. The electric motor
draws its power from a high-performance lithium-ion battery with an impressively long service
life. It even comes with a special certificate guaranteeing its performance for the first , km
over a maximum of five years.
Additionally, intelligent energy management ensures that excess energy is either recuperated and
stored or used directly to power the vehicle as required. It also optimises the use of kinetic energy
according to navigation and location data and the route profile, thus ensuring the most efficient
interplay of combustion engine and electric motor. For example, when the system detects a hill
and a descent in the route profile, the engine is given maximum assistance by the electric motor
on the way up, while the surplus energy generated on the drive down is fed back into the highperformance battery.

WATER IS THE ELIXIR OF LIFE.
AND INSPIRATION FOR BMW.
The drive in your BMW has all the agility and
poise you expect – but the only thing coming
out of the exhaust pipe is water. In , after
decades of intensive research, a new element
entered the dynamics of the busy street – the
BMW Hydrogen . At the heart of this, the
world’s first hydrogen-powered luxury saloon
for everyday use, is a combustion engine that,
at the touch of a button, runs on either hydrogen
or petrol. The storage of the hydrogen illustrates
the ingenuity of BMW engineering particularly
well. It is designed for high safety, can withstand
extreme conditions and stores the fuel at minus
 degrees Celcius.

BEST PERFORMANCE IS
TEAM PERFORMANCE.
In the BMW ActiveHybrid  and BMW ActiveHybrid , all hybrid components complement each
other perfectly for united performance and increased efficiency. The full hybrid models can even
coast silently at up to  km/h with the combustion engine turned off. They can be also driven
on purely electric power which, again, means no fuel is used. The boost function, meanwhile,
provides the engine with extra power from the electric motor as required. And that means an
instant transformation from smooth sustainability to powerful and spontaneous acceleration.

The BMW EfficientDynamics programme has consistently reduced BMW’s fuel consumption and emission output figures to set new standards: in fact,  models
(as of /) already produce just  g CO/km or less per kilometre. It’s compelling evidence that environmentally-friendly mobility and driving pleasure go hand
in hand – and that our best in class models are just right for you.

Fuel consumption figures are determined
according to the ECE driving cycle which
consists of approximately one-third urban
traffic and two-thirds extra-urban driving
(measured in terms of distance). CO emissions
are measured in addition to fuel consumption.
Fuel consumption is determined relative to
vehicles with standard equipment. Optional
equipment may influence fuel consumption.
Fuel consumption and CO emission levels are
affected by the selected wheel and tyre sizes.
Please note:
Fuel consumption figures provided with each
