Editorial
A BREED APART.
ls it surprising that we sell a lot of manual transmissions to 3 Series
Coupe drivers? For them, it isn’t about Point A to Point B. Pavement
is their playground. It’s not uncommon for a Coupe driver to hop in
and just... drive.
These enthusiast drivers keep our engineers up at night, creating
innovations to satisfy virtually insatiable driving appetites. It’s for this
breed of driver that we created the 335is High Performance model,
brandishing a 320-hp turbocharged engine with 332 lb-ft of torque that
boosts to 370 Ib-ft of track-worthy acceleration. Of course it’s available
with a 7-speed, sport automatic Double Clutch Transmission with
steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters. After all, to a Coupe driver,
joy is always a hands-on experience.
There are also not one, but two dynamic TwinPower Turbo inline six
3.0-liter engines with High Precision fuel injection. Both give Coupe
drivers what they crave: more power with increased fuel efficiency
and virtually no fun-robbing “turbo lag.” And, of course, for all 3 Series
Coupe models, we offer an array of performance-enhancing technologies to keep “coupistas” grinning from ear to ear.
This spirit also infuses our styling for the 2011 3 Series Coupe: the long
hood and bold accents that flow into the Coupe’s low-slung roofline.
Brilliant lighting designs front and rear. For the 335is and M Sport
Package, wind-tunnel-tested front and rear air dams are sprouting up,
too. As usual, all this technology and style is integrated into what could
very well be the sweetest handling sports coupe on the road.
It’s just one more of the 3 Series Coupe’s many qualities that make
a big difference for drivers who are just a bit different from the rest.

Joy is beautiful. Step closer to the 2011 BMW 3 Series Coupe and
you'll discover that its wide signature kidney grille is surrounded with
tantalizing styling cues and accents. Performance-bred front and
rear air dams and side skirts express the muscular attributes of the
M Sport Package and 335is High Performance Coupe. And here’s a
bright idea: LED exterior lighting that exudes the fun you're having
behind the wheel. Yet even with these bold strokes, one glance and
you know this is unmistakably a BMW - The Ultimate Driving Machine®
Approach. Anticipate. Open. Enjoy.

Joy loves the environment. That’s the idea behind
BMW EfficientDynamics: more driving pleasure with
minimized fuel consumption and less emissions.
On the outside, all BMWs are wind-tunnel tested to
optimize a body shape that minimizes fuel-wasting
aerodynamic drag. Under the hood, BMW engines
continue to win awards for ever-more powerful output
along with advanced fuel-extending technologies,
such as the unique Valvetronic engine breathing
technology and High Precision injection. Do you
love both sporty driving and our planet? Your Coupe
is waiting. Please obey all posted speed limits on

LIGHTING- THE BETTER
TO SEE AND BE SEEN.
Joy is brilliant. Consider the lighting for the 2011 3 Series Coupe.
At the front, circling the daylight-bright Xenon headlights are four
Corona headlight-rings, powered by bright LED lights. Also used
as Daytime Running Lights, the headlight-rings’ distinctive look
announces your presence to other drivers. The far edge of each
headlight fixture is illuminated with a daring LED “string” array;
above, a light trim bar gives the 3 Series Coupe a focused look.
Moving to the rear, long-lasting LED tail- and brakelights are
arrayed in horizontal tubes that illuminate simultaneously, creating
a unique, eye-catching design with depth and dimension. And
inside the cabin, the drama of warm Ambiance interior lighting,
streaming down from under the ledge on the door and side panels,
puts you and your passengers at ease. It’s easy to see: your BMW
3 Series Coupe will own the night.

VAN
‘onfident — whether you’re turning into a tight country-road bend, accelerating onto
the busy Interstate, or twisting through hectic city streets. The 2011 BMW 3 Series Coupe
s you in firm command with intelligent vehicle technology like Active Steering, which
matches steering response and feel to y iving demands. For instance, at low speeds
the steering wheel needs only two turns lock-to-lock, making parking gymnastics a breeze.
As you accelerate, it actively adapts the steering ratio to maintain a consistent, razor-sha
feel. Meanwhile, Dynamic Stability Control and Dynamic Traction Control help prevent drivi
problems before you notice them. And, of course, like all BMWs, the 3 Series Coupe is
balanced with near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution and a race-proven suspension, engineered to provide the pinnacle of driving performance — all of which can be experienced
on astretch of blacktop near your BMW center.
NO MATTER WHERE,
THE BLACKTOP BELONGS TO YOU.
DVANCED DESIG
NE GLANCE
Joy is timeless. That’s why BMWs produced 10, 20 or even 30 years ago still look current. This is not
by chance. Our spirited designers ceaselessly innovate to advance the BMW look into one that is of its
time — yet timeless. The 2011 BMW 3 Series Coupe is no exception. Its iconic BMW kidney grille is wider
and integrated into its athletic shape, with an eager stance and long, sleek hood. These work in perfect
harmony with the sporty low roofline, distinctive shoulder line, crisp hood creases and the tail’s elegant
short overhang. Even the sleek side-view mirrors were created to blend effortlessly into this powerfully
sculpted design. It’s the latest expression of the classic BMW 3 Series allure.
LOSE THE DOOR
Joy gives you peace of mind.
That's because every BMW
bristles with active and passive
safety features. In addition to
quick acceleration, powerful faderesistant brakes and agile handling,
the 3 Series Coupe’s active safety
features include daylight-quality
Xenon Adaptive Headlights that
automatically level and illuminate
around corners, and Dynamic
Stability Control (DSC) and
Dynamic Traction Control (DTC),
which help keep you coolly in
command when wheelspin
threatens. Passive features,
which become very much active
when required, include advanced
front- and side-impact airbags;
a reinforced door-anchoring system
that, in a side impact, hooks a
reinforcing bar between the door
and the body to create a rigid
passenger cell; and an ultra-stiff
body made of advanced steel.
There is also optional BMW
Assist,™ which automatically calls
for help immediately after airbags
deploy, locates your vehicle if it’s
stolen, and offers a host of other
reassuring features. Active or
passive, BMW safety technologies
are always working to care for you
and your passengers.

The projection screen (top) shows, with minute precision, what a future vehicle will
look like. Details can be enlarged to any desired magnification.
EXPERIENCE
TOMORROW,
TODAY.
To create the perfect vehicle, BMW designers and engineers
do much of their work in a computer-generated virtual reality.
This enables early design verification, shortening development
cycles and saving resources.
The future vehicle can be viewed from any perspective. You can zoom
in and out, and turn it in any direction. You can open the doors, or look
under the hood. You can even get in and take a seat. But this vehicle,
as convincing as it may look, is not made of metal and plastic. It consists
of data - an unimaginably huge amount of data, converted into spatial
images by high-performance computers. The images feel as real as
reality, even though they are only a simulation. Virtual Reality (VR) is the
watchword of today’s automotive engineers. In the past, it was necessary
to create several prototypes in order to test various modules. Today,
designers, developers and product engineers in the BMW Research
and Innovation Center work on a single digital model that they optimize
on-screen. This protects the environment, lowers costs and shortens
the development cycle.
In addition, VR enables the early assessment of design alternatives.
Each design can be visually represented, evaluated and compared.
A3-D model is generated based on the design. To do this, the computer
subdivides the vehicle into tiny triangles, or polygons, placing over the
design a virtual grid that describes the vehicle’s geometry.
In this virtual world, designers and engineers can view the future vehicle
and even move around in it. In the so-called CAVE (Cave Automated
Virtual Environment), the observer, sitting in a car seat, is surrounded
by walls that have real-time moving images projected onto them. In
this way, the viewer gains the realistic impression of a cockpit with all
its switches, displays and a natural landscape surrounding the vehicle.
A radio signal provided by special 3-D glasses tells the computers
what the “driver” is currently looking at, and a data glove enables him
or her to operate the vehicle’s controls. This allows verification of the
cockpit’s layout and ergonomics. The software is so clever, it displays
light reflections in the vehicle’s windows, and even shows the quality
of the materials. In this way, designers can enjoy their first “test drive”
before the first prototype is built.
Despite its amazing degree of realism, virtual reality is only one tool in
the design and development of a new vehicle. It is no substitute for
creativity, experience and intuition. Even today, every vehicle design
begins with a sketch - still the quickest way to visualize an idea. And of
course, the designer also has to be able to see and work on a full-scale
clay model, to get a sense for the feel of the design, and to be able to
develop and perfect the unmistakable character of every new BMW.
The computer has simplified and accelerated much in the design
process. But for a final understanding, designers still need to be able
to touch and feel the actual design in the form of a physical model.
How to turn the two dimensions of a screen display into 3-D: in the
CAVE (below), the driver feels as though he or she were actually
sitting in a car and driving through a landscape. In this way, features
and characteristics, such as cockpit ergonomics, can be tested.
SCENERY CAN BE TOUCHING.
SO CAN INTERIORS.
Joy is tactile. Come, sit and feel the difference. It’s in the premium
materials we use throughout the cabin, and the expert care with which
they are crafted. The surfaces of the comfortable, ergonomically designed
seats are wrapped in supple yet durable Dakota Leather. The steering
wheel and shift lever are covered in hand-stitched leather, ready for a
with a racing-inspired feel. Instrument rings, interior door handles an

BMW EFFICIENT DYNAMICS:
VEHICLES THAT REQUIRE LITTLE AND GIVE A LOT.
BMW was one of the first automotive manufacturers to pursue efficient driving technologies — one part of our award-winning sustainability strategy.
Our commitment to EfficientDynamics means we are continuously developing innovative systems that bring us closer to our long-term goal of
emissions-free mobility. However, we remain equally committed to driving pleasure, which is being pursued in different ways. First, there is the continuing optimization of conventional diesel- and gasoline-powered models. Second, BMW hybrid vehicles are already on the road. Third, the first
100% electrically powered BMW - the BMW ActiveE — is being distributed in a field trial to customers. And fourth, the fleet of BMW Hydrogen 7
vehicles impressively demonstrated the potential for combining hydrogen drive with a combustion engine.
Since 1995 BMW has been able to reduce the CO2 emissions of its entire fleet by approximately 30 percent. BMW has rolled out more than two
million vehicles equipped with EfficientDynamics: 31 models already produce less than 225g of CO> per mile, and BMW intends to achieve a
further 25 percent reduction by 2020. BMW EfficientDynamics represents the most comprehensive package of innovative technologies currently
in production, for reducing fuel consumption and emissions while simultaneously creating The Ultimate Driving Machine®
Different paths to the same destination: unmistakable BMW driving pleasure.
In early 2010 BMW launched its first production models with hybrid drive: the BMW ActiveHybrid 7 and the BMW ActiveHybrid X6. Both models
offer an unparalleled combination of increased fuel efficiency, reduced emissions and thrilling performance. The BMW ActiveE, with its innovative
100% electric drive system, will introduce a whole new form of dynamic performance, paving the way for the future of emissions-free mobility. Finally,
a completely new vehicle concept targeted at meeting the need for sustainable mobility in fast-growing metropolitan areas will soon become reality:
the BMWi3.
BMW Vision EfficientDynamics: Vision becomes reality. In 2014 BMW plans to debut the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics test
model - a 2+2 sports car featuring groundbreaking plug-in hybrid technology that combines sports-car performance with compact-class
consumption. Powered by the latest-generation, full-hybrid system, the vehicle — in concept form — generates a total of 328 hp through a
161-hp, three-cylinder turbo diesel engine with 214 lb-ft of torque, as well as a hybrid synchronous engine on the front axle and fully hybrid
drive system on the rear axle. With a range of up to 435 miles, its ratio of performance to fuel consumption is without equal, positioning
BMW as the world’s leading manufacturer of exceptionally efficient, sporty vehicles.

THE BMW 3 SERIES COUPE’S
EFFICIENT DYNAMICS INITIATIVE AT A GLANCE.
High Precision direct fuel injection.
In this latest-generation direct fuel injection system, the piezo injectors
are positioned very close to the spark plugs. They inject fuel at high
pressure, with extreme precision, for very efficient combustion.
Valvetronic.
BMW’s Valvetronic valve control system improves engine response and
refinement, while also helping to reduce fuel consumption. The system
helps the engine “breathe” better by providing fully variable lift adjustment
of the inlet valves.
7-speed sport automatic Double Clutch Transmission.
This transmission enables lightning-fast gear shifts without interruption
of power. In automatic mode, it provides considerable fuel savings by
selecting the ideal gear for every situation with speed and precision.
Not all BMW EfficientDynamics features are available on all models.
Please see your authorized BMW center for details.
Electric Power Steering.
Unlike conventional, hydraulic steering systems, electric power steering
draws power only during actual steering movements. When the steering
wheel position is constant, the electric motor is inactive.
BMW TwinPower Turbo technology.
This innovative twin-scroll turbocharging technology efficiently reclaims
the energy contained in exhaust gases (335i, 335i xDrive, 335is).
Brake Energy Regeneration.
In vehicles with Brake Energy Regeneration, the alternator normally
generates electricity only when the driver takes his or her foot off
the accelerator or brake pedal. Kinetic energy that was previously
unharnessed is transformed into electrical energy, then fed into the
battery. In this way, electricity is generated without consuming fuel.
BMW EfficientDynamics
Less emissions. More driving pleasure.
Engines that power innovation. Year after year,
numerous BMW engines have garnered accolades
for their output, refinement and high-rewving ability.
Among this pantheon of powerplants, the most
frequently honored has been the inline six-cylinder.
It is only natural, then, that BMW has poured its
expertise into providing three exceptional inline
six-cylinder engines for the 3 Series Coupe. All are
designed to deliver on BMW’s EfficientDynamics
philosophy: increased power with decreased fuel
consumption and emissions. Whichever engine you
select, you'll enjoy the thrill of BMW performance
while helping to protect the environment every day.
EVERYTHING REVOLVES AROUND JOY.

BMW 335i TwinPower Turbo.
This unique engine combines
a twin-scroll TwinPower Turbo,
High Precision direct fuel injection,
and - in a first for turbocharged
engines — BMW’s Valvetronic
variable intake technology that
helps the engine “breathe” better.
The result: turbo lag is virtually
eliminated, while posting one of
the most fuel-efficient ratings in its
class. The 335i TwinPower Turbo
develops maximum output of
300 hp at 5800 rpm, redlining at
7000 rpm. Peak torque of 300 Ib-ft
kicks in almost immediately at
1300 rpm. It continues to push
you back in your seat all the way
to 5000 rpm. In just 5.3 seconds
you're easily passing 60 mph! -
and just as easily surpassing all
expectations.
BMW 328i.
BMW’s engine-building heritage
is masterfully realized in the 328i.
This naturally aspirated 230-hp
unit uses a composite magnesium/
aluminum engine block, whose
lighter weight allows agile handling
and a 0-60 time of 6.2 seconds?
BMW’s advanced Valvetronic
technology and Double-VANOS
“steplessly” variable valve timing
deliver quick and potent engine
response, a smooth idle, and
enhanced fuel efficiency. Drawing
on 200 lb-ft of torque, the power
pours on early and strong, and
continues throughout the powerband.

BMW 335is High Performance.
To create the 335is engine, BMW
gave its multi-award-winning
turbocharged inline six 20 more
horsepower, 32 more lb-ft of
torque - and an additional 38 Ib-ft
of temporary torque boost for
adrenaline-producing bursts of
acceleration. Of course, BMW

The 3 Series Coupe offers a host of innovative performance-enhancing technologies
as well as active and passive safety features that help you get the most pleasure out
of every drive.
Active Steering.
The Active Steering system adjusts
both steering ratio and steering
force in relation to driving speed.
At low to medium speeds, a small
turn of the steering wheel translates
into a big turn of the front wheels.
You enjoy more agility in city driving,
quicker turns on twisting roads, and
easier parking maneuvers. At higher
speeds, a larger turn of the steering
wheel is needed to turn the front
wheels, resulting in greater straightline stability.
ety features
7-speed sport automatic
Double Clutch Transmission.
Available in the 335is High Performance, this transmission features
two separate clutches for the odd
and even gears. When one gear is
disengaging, the next one is already
engaged. You experience lightningquick gear shifts with maximum
precision, for acceleration without
interruption of power. When you
prefer hands-on control, both the
racing-inspired steering wheelmounted paddle shifters and the
gear shift lever allow clutchless
shifting.
xDrive all-wheel drive.
BMW's xDrive intelligent all-wheeldrive system takes all-road traction to
new heights. On smooth, dry roads,
the 328i xDrive and 335i xDrive
have a rear-wheel-drive feel. But
hit a wet uphill curve, for instance,
or wet leaves, water or snow, and
even before wheelspin can occur,
the system immediately recognizes
any need for a change in power
distribution. It can send more
torque to the front axle to achieve
stability. And should one wheel on
an axle spin faster than the other,
the brakes automatically engage,
as needed, to bring all wheels back
in sync. With xDrive, you enjoy
optimum traction at all times.
Hill Descent Control (HDC).
When driving down steep hills,
Hill Descent Control automatically
keeps the 328i xDrive and 335i
xDrive models to a low speed
without having to “ride the brakes,”
so you can concentrate on steering.
At the same time, the brakelights
are automatically activated to warn
other drivers to slow down. HDC
is especially useful when driving
downhill on slippery surfaces, such
as gravel, snow or grass.
A bmwusa.com/technology
IF THE 3 SERIES COUPE IS BEAUTIFUL TO LOOK AT,
WHAT’S INSIDE IS POSITIVELY STUNNING.
Dynamic Stability Control
(DSC).
DSC helps to stabilize the 3 Series
Coupe in just milliseconds when
it senses an impending skid. Whenever the system senses over- or
understeer, it modulates engine
power and can apply brakes
individually to each wheel to help
keep the vehicle under control
and going in the intended direction.
For sportier driving or in deep snow,
Dynamic Traction Control (DTC)
allows increased wheelslip.
a bmwusa.com/safety
Lightweight chassis.
Lightweight construction is used
throughout the 3 Series Coupe.
In the front section, for example,
aluminum is used extensively for
suspension components and in
the steering rack. This enhances
the Coupe’s agile performance
while ensuring superb ride comfort.
BMW’s six-cylinder TwinPower
Turbo engines are all aluminum,
and the naturally aspirated inline
six is an aluminum/magnesium
composite — the lightest in its class.
Airbags.
In the event of a collision, BMW’s
supplemental restraint system
(SRS) determines which of six
airbags to deploy for optimal
protection. This includes front
airbags with advanced technology
for driver and front passenger;
front-seat-mounted side-impact
airbags; and BMW’s Head Protection
System (HPS), which is designed
to help protect passengers in both
front and rear compartments.
Note: These pictures of airbags are for illustrative
purposes only. Depending upon the type of
accident, none, some or all airbags may deploy.
Occupant cell.
An extremely rigid steel “safety
cage” surrounds the occupant
compartment, with deformable
crush tubes front and rear. In a
severe crash, impact energy is
routed around the passenger
cabin and absorbed by the safety
cage. In a severe side impact,
a reinforcing bar hooks the door
to the body, locking them together
to make a more rigid passenger
cell. When the pressure is released,
the system is designed to snap
back so that the doors can open.

“In dark, unlit a
Automatic hig
Today’s technology allows greater interactivity between
vehicles, consumer electronics, the internet, and the
driver. Ina BMW, this is called ConnectedDrive.
BMW ConnectedDrive offers innovations in the areas of
Convenience, Safety and Infotainment. Although these
electronic systems will never replace the joy of driving,
they do enhance the driving experience.
Take, for example, Automatic high beams that optimize
nighttime visibility while making sure oncoming traffic
isn’t dazzled. Or BMW’s on-board Navigation system,
which helps you plan your route; its hard drive even
has room to store your favorite music. The Navigation
system also includes Real Time Traffic Information,
which helps you avoid traffic jams. No matter where
you go, ina BMW, you’re connected with the world.
Automatic high beams let you enjoy the convenience of switching
between high and low beams automatically. When the Automatic high
beams system is activated, an image sensor at the back of the rear-view
mirror monitors oncoming traffic and lighting conditions. Based on this
data, the system decides whether or not the high beams should be
switched on. When it detects vehicles ahead, or the sensor dictates that
ambient light is sufficient, the high beams are automatically switched off.
BMW’s on-board Navigation system uses Global Positioning System
(GPS) satellites and data stored on an internal hard drive to guide you
to your destination, which is displayed on a 16:9 high-resolution screen.
Enhancements include 3-D daytime and nighttime maps, zoom, travel
planner, and an Assistance Window. The system also offers Voice command for convenient, hands-free operation, and 12 GB of storage for
your favorite media files. Online Information Services include MyInfo,
which allows Google Maps™ destinations to be sent to your vehicle,
as well as BMW Online when your vehicle is also equipped with BMW
Assist™ Convenience Services.
Real Time Traffic Information is a valuable feature, included with the
Navigation system, that makes you aware of traffic congestion in most
large cities before you encounter it. This feature displays and describes
current local traffic information on your Control Display; in case of delays
greater than five minutes, it suggests alternate routes.

MEETING
IN THE
GREEN
HELL.
Loved, hated, feared - the Niirburgring Nordschleife (“Northern
Loop”) never fails to elicit a response. We joined touring car
champion Andy Priaulx for a drive on this legendary track in
the BMW 3 Series Coupe.
Despite his three World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) titles,
Andy Priaulx approaches the Nordschleife with a lot of respect.
Jackie Stewart once referred to it as “The Green Hell,” the trees
along its track coalescing to form a continuous green blur. In 2005,
Priaulx won the 24-hour race in the BMW M3 GTR, as part of a team
of four. “Each time | am here, the Nordschleife presents a different
aspect: hot, wet, foggy or snowy — but never boring. Winning here
really means something.”
Not having any racing experience, sitting next to Andy Priaulx in a
335i Coupe feels like sitting in a real racecar. During the twisting
Hatzenbach descent, the British driver speaks of the special virtues
that each BMW possesses. “Driving any BMW is a very special feeling.
The balanced weight distribution makes the vehicle very poised, and
the steering tells me exactly what the car is doing at any given time.”
Even sitting in the passenger seat, you can tell that Andy Priaulx and
the 3 Series Coupe feel very much at home here. It has the Nurburgring
in its genes, so to speak: since the mid-1960s, BMW engineers have
tested every new model here prior to the start of production. The
challenging racetrack reveals both the sporting prowess and the
durability of many parts. BMW was the first manufacturer to establish
its own test center here in 1992.
Although Andy Priaulx usually drives a touring car powered by a
high-revwving four-cylinder racing engine, he clearly enjoys the BMW
six-cylinder TwinPower Turbo in the 335i Coupe. “On the long ascent
to the Bergwerk section and then on to the Hohe Acht, you need
every one of the 300 hp. No matter which BMW engine you prefer,
its combination of power and efficiency guarantees driving pleasure
without a guilty conscience.” Although the turbocharged inline sixcylinder engine has the same power output as its predecessor, the
BMW engineers managed to lower its average fuel consumption. In
the twisting bends around the famous Karussell, Priaulx praises the
feeling of security and confidence that the BMW 3 Series Coupe
evokes in the driver. “This applies to the slower technical passages
as much as for the top-speed sections, such as the long finishing
straight at Dottinger Hohe.”
The BMW 3 Series Coupe and its driver would clearly like to add
another lap, but as a passenger, you quickly reach your limit at this
kind of speed. However, Priaulx’s enthusiasm for the BMW 3 Series
Coupe and the Nordschleife is infectious. For a small fee, anyone
can do a lap here.
The British racing driver Andy Priaulx won the 2005, 2006 and
2007 World Touring Car Championships with BMW Team UK.
He tested the BMW 3 Series Coupe with six-cylinder TwinPower
Turbo on the Niirburgring.

lf Xenon Adaptive Headlights optimize road illumination when entering a turn
or corner, helping to enhance visibility when driving at night. Sensors continuously
monitor the angle of the steering wheel to determine the direction in which the
vehicle is heading. The outer headlights swivel accordingly, up to 15 degrees left
or right. Xenon low- and high-beam headlights illuminate the road ahead
and to the side with brilliant clarity. An auto-leveling feature adjusts for varying
passenger and cargo loads. The LED Corona headlight-rings that circle both
headlights and high beams also act separately as Daytime Running Lights and
parking lights.
O Automatic dimming interior and exterior mirrors respond to the
brightness of following headlights to minimize their reflection in the eyes of the
driver. The automatic anti-glare function improves safety and comfort when
driving at night by helping to eliminate the eye strain from excess glare. The
digital compass, integrated into the mirror, is a convenient way to constantly
keep your bearings while driving. The power-adjustable exterior mirrors include
a fold-in function, and the passenger-side mirror also helps when parking by
folding down to reveal the curb when the transmission is shifted into reverse
gear to back up.

We constantly monitor your BMW’s needs - so you don’t have to.
Tackling mountain switchbacks, the last thing you should be thinking about is
the state of your brake pads. Thanks to BMW’s integrated on-board diagnostics
system, you will always know exactly when the next service is due, and what
work will be required.
Condition-Based Service (CBS) measures the condition of key parts that are
subject to wear and tear. It also tracks fluid levels and monitors your BMW’s
time- and mileage-dependent service requirements. Using this data, the Info
Display in the cockpit automatically alerts you in advance whenever any part of
your vehicle will require servicing. You can also use the optional iDrive Control
Display to find out which components will need to be serviced, and when.
When combined with TeleService — the innovative telematics service included
with the optional BMW Assist™ Safety Plan! - the CBS-collected data is automatically transmitted to your BMW center, which then contacts you to set up a
service appointment. And because they use only Original BMW Parts, you
can rely on expert fit and long-lasting BMW quality.
GOING BEYOND ENGINEERING:
THE HIGH-PERFORMANCE
BMW OWNERSHIP EXPERIENCE.
BMW Ultimate Service® At BMW,
we believe that a premium ownership
experience should feature performance and luxury, as well as safety and
convenience. We believe you should
be able to drive a BMW to its potential,
while enjoying peace of mind and
reduced cost of ownership. That’s the
idea behind BMW Ultimate Service: a
suite of comprehensive programs and
services that are included with every
new vehicle. The New Vehicle Limited
Warranty, the BMW Maintenance Program, and Roadside Assistance come
standard, with BMW Assist offered
as an option. BMW Ultimate Service
starts with the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty, providing you with coverage
for the first four years or 50,000 miles,
whichever comes first. Additionally,
you have 12-year, unlimited-mileage
warranty protection against corrosion
and rust perforation? BMW Maintenance Program is one of the most
comprehensive maintenance programs
in its class. We cover all factory-recommended maintenance during the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty coverage
period. This includes scheduled oil
services and inspections. Also covered
is the replacement of items that are
subject to normal wear and tear, such
as brake pads, wiper blade inserts
and engine drive belts3 And, thanks
to BMW’s advanced engineering,
most owners enjoy a well-balanced
maintenance schedule, with flexible
routine service intervals that can save
you time. When your vehicle requires
attention, your authorized BMW center
ensures that it receives only genuine
BMW parts — your assurance of
exacting quality standards.
BMW Roadside Assistance is
provided free of charge for the first
four years — with no mileage limit. Call
1-800-332-4BMW (4269) for friendly
on-the-road help, 24/7, anywhere in
the United States, Canada and Puerto
Rico. This includes everything from
flat-tire changes, emergency gasoline
and lock-out service, to towing, alternative transportation and even tripinterruption benefits. This service also
provides valuable trip-routing advice.
The BMW Assist Safety Plan is an
optional four-year program. You'll enjoy
peace of mind knowing that a friendly
response specialist is there to help
you, 24/7, at just the push of a button.
The Safety Plan includes Automatic
Collision Notification, Emergency
Request, Enhanced Roadside Assistance, Door Unlock, Stolen Vehicle
Recovery and Customer Relations.
Included in the BMW Assist Safety
Plan, Mylnfo allows you to send business locations and street addresses
with their associated phone numbers
from the Google Maps™ website
directly to your BMW. The destination
can be sent to your Navigation system
for turn-by-turn directions. With the
BMW Navigation system and certain
BlackBerry smartphones linked to
your BMW via Bluetooth® technology,
BMW's Mobile Office feature transfers
text messages and emails to your
iDrive Display screen and reads them
aloud to you. A Calendar and To-do
List can also appear on your Display
screen while en route. Running late?
Click on the phone number in the
Calendar to call your appointment.
For the ultimate in coverage, add the
optional Convenience Plan4 You'll
enjoy unlimited access to personalized
Directions, Traffic and Weather reports,
as well as our Concierge feature, which
can send a destination address and
phone number, such as a restaurant
or hotel, right to your BMW. You can
access to up-to-date fuel prices and
the latest weather forecasts, as well
as Bloomberg's stock indices and the
powerful reach of the Google Maps
database — delivered to the iDrive
Display right inside your vehicle.
BMW’s unique TeleService, included
in the BMW Assist Safety Plan, continually monitors specific parts that are
subject to wear and tear — including
the engine oil, micro-filter, spark plugs,
brake linings and various fluids - as
well as services that require attention
at regular intervals, such as vehicle
service inspections. This data is automatically transmitted to your BMW
center, which will then call you to
schedule a service appointment. You
don’t have to keep track of when your
vehicle requires routine maintenance.
An added benefit: any needed maintenance service parts will already be on
hand, so your BMW is serviced and
returned to you as quickly as possible.
