RACING ENGINEERS
WERE HERE.
At first glance, it’s a BMW  Series Sedan. An instant later you realize
things are different. The grille openings are wider. The stance is more
aggressive. The engine idle has an edge to it, expressing an impatience
to just… get on with it. Everything seems, well, more racy. No mistake:
engineers from BMW’s legendary motorsport company, M, have been
here and transformed this into the new BMW M. Its racing bloodline
shows in its .-liter V- engine, muscled up with patented M TwinPower
Turbo technology. Peak output in standard form is -hp, channeled
through the standard fast-shifting -speed M Double Clutch Transmission

engineering are applied to an ultra-lightweight suspension tuned to
tackle the torturous curves of the Nürburgring North Circuit. These are

HERE, M IS A
SIXTH SENSE.
At last count, we have five senses going for us. Now let’s add a new one: M sense.
It’s what you experience when you feel a unique connection to your car, the road, and
your world. You experience the car through controls optimized by BMW M’s racing
engineers. You feel an intimate link to the road via M-tuned steering and suspension.
And, through a wide array of driver assistance, mobility services and infotainment via
BMW ConnectedDrive,® you connect directly to your world.

IN YOU VS. THE ROAD,
YOU WIN.
Some roads have chips on their shoulders. The next time you encounter one of those, drive
one of these – the new BMW M. Its -horsepower is standard and can rise even higher with
-horsepower in the optional Competition Package. All this brute force is artfully orchestrated
through the standard -speed M Double Clutch Transmission (M DCT) with Drivelogic, for
lightning-fast shifts at the flick of a finger on the steering wheel paddles. (Six-speed manual is
optional.) No matter which engine/transmission combination you choose, prepare for power that
pours it on throughout a broad rpm range. And prepare to be stunned.

TO ELEVATE YOUR
HEART RATE, LOOK FAST.
One glance and you instantly notice that this BMW sports an extra measure of athleticism.
The new BMW M’s wider track is evident in the bulging, flared wheel arches. In the optional
Competition Package, -inch wheels are forged with a Double Spoke pattern – a theme you
see again on the unique M-spec steering wheel and in the grille. At the front, this athlete’s need
to breathe is satisfied by the iconic wider air intakes that are mandatory on every M vehicle.
Optional Adaptive LED headlights are brilliant in more ways than one: they intelligently configure
illumination to match your driving conditions. Newly designed  Series taillights with thin
LED strips emit a distinctive signature in the night. By its very presence, you know that this
BMW is going places – fast.

OTHERS SEE A ROAD.
YOU SEE A TRACK.

STRAIGHTEN CURVES.
SHORTEN STRAIGHTAWAYS.

TRACK OPTIMIZED.
STREET LEGAL.
M technology allows the passionate driver to experience the uncompromising performance that
racers demand. It starts with power. In the new BMW M, TwinPower turbocharging boosts engine
output to -horsepower – the better to see  mph in just . seconds. The Active M Differential
applies this massive power intelligently to the wheels, with minimum wasted energy, maximum
control. Optional Carbon Ceramic brakes are race-tuned for deceleration that can push you up
against your seat harness. Considering, perhaps, taking your M to the track? Before donning your
helmet, check the optional Competition Package. This adds -horsepower, race-tuned steering,
and a range of handling upgrades that forever alter your perception of what a street-legal car can do.

BMW urges you to obey all posted speed laws and always wear safety belts.

FOUR DOORS. ONE PURPOSE.
Powerful curves. Monster air inlets. Fat, sticky tires. Rumbling exhaust. Every sinew of the
new M’s body makes a bold statement: this is the most fun you can have with four doors on.
Even the side mirrors have been aerodynamically tuned in our wind tunnel so they won’t be a drag.
Turning lower lap times – and heads – is what the M is all about.
Hop in. Strap it on. And drive.

POWER MEETS EFFICIENCY.
The M TwinPower Turbo V- engine. This most powerful of all the BMW production engines is a proud product of BMW EfficientDynamics.
Its formidable performance is characterized by outstanding power delivery, running smoothness and free-revving character. And its performanceto-fuel-consumption ratio is nothing short of awe-inspiring.
The numbers speak for themselves.
-horsepower. A -rpm redline. . seconds from –. The high-revving M TwinPower Turbo V- in the BMW M makes a singularly forceful
statement when it comes to performance and acceleration.
Fully leveraging innovative BMW technology – Double-VANOS continuously variable camshaft timing, high precision direct injection, and Valvetronic
individual intake valve control that eliminates the need for a less-efficient throttle plate – the M generates an enormous  lb-ft of torque. This is
available across a wide engine speed range, with emphatic forward thrust on tap from just over idle right through to high revs. A double turbocharger,
combined with two large intercoolers to cool the engine and intake air, fully exploit the superb pulling power of this high-performance powerplant.
The M’s V- also sets benchmarks when it comes to the performance-to-fuel consumption ratio. BMW EfficientDynamics features include the
energy-saving Auto Start-Stop function that turns off the engine while stopped and then restarts it automatically when you take your foot off the brake.
Brake Energy Regeneration recovers energy output from the car’s braking and then recycles it to help power the vehicle. The result is nearly one-third
less fuel consumption than its predecessor – exceptionally good highway fuel mileage for an ultra-high-power car.
And then there’s the specially tuned M exhaust: an irresistible siren song for driving enthusiasts everywhere.
