have taken impressive “International Engine of the Year” honors for the last three years running. In ,
BMW introduced the U.S. to Advanced Diesel with BluePerformance technology, powered by an Advanced
Turbo engine. And now for model year , BMW introduces the .-liter TwinPower Turbo in the i and
i xDrive Sedans. Like every current BMW turbocharged engine, its High Precision piezo injection system
maximizes efficiency. Incorporating Valvetronic technology for the first time in a turbocharged engine, the

BALANCED SQUARELY AT THE FOREFRONT
OF SUPERIOR DRIVING DYNAMICS.
BMW’s stance on handling has always been fi rm: provide the most thrilling and precise connection to the road.
The Series Sedan advances this concept with innovative axle technologies. In the front: increased stiffness
through the extensive use of lightweight all-aluminum components, such as tension rods, transverse control arms,
swivel bearings and axle supports. In the rear: fi ve extremely rigid, individual control arms for both rear wheels,
as well as a large supporting base for track and camber. This innovative suspension delivers the solid, sporty
handling that complements the Series’ copious power. And the vehicle’s near-perfect / weight distribution
offers strikingly well-balanced road feel, with responsive characteristics virtually unmatched by any competitor.

Experience heightened power to stay the course, on any course. Responsive handling is only the beginning: BMW’s
impressive Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) system is a collection of innovative traction and braking technologies.
These help stabilize your vehicle in milliseconds, correcting for skidding, oversteer and understeer, as well as braking
on wet roads, long downhills, uphill stops and more. And for the ultimate in traction, the i xDrive and i xDrive
both feature BMW’s intelligent xDrive all-wheel-drive system, optimizing available power at all four wheels to hold your
place on any road, in any conditions.
WHEREVER YOU GO,
AN INCREDIBLE DRIVING EXPERIENCE AWAITS.
FIERCELY PROTECTIVE OF ITS OWNER.
Building on BMW’s distinguished safety record, the Series Sedan’s broad array of active and passive safety features gives you peace
of mind. Crisp handling, fade-resistant brakes and potent muscle help you avoid potential hazards; technologies like Xenon Adaptive
Headlights help you spot them sooner. But should the unavoidable occur, the Series Sedan’s rigid steel body and deformable crush
zones help dissipate the impact of a crash, while its leading-edge system of sensors, safety-belt pretensioners, airbags and the Active
Head Restraints help protect you and your passengers.

TAKE THE WHEEL –
AND TAKE CONTROL
OF THE ROAD.
The cockpit of the Series is a finely honed command center that’s
as practical as it is plush. The driver-oriented dashboard is the perfect
example of how technology can enhance the driving experience.
Take the leather-wrapped multi-function steering wheel. Designed for
a firm grip, it places useful controls at your fingertips, so you can adjust
the audio or make calls without taking your hands from the wheel –
or eyes from the road. Paddle shifters and steering wheel heating add
more comfort and joy to every drive.
Beyond the steering wheel, all controls are within instinctive reach;
every dial and gauge can easily be checked at a glance. A high-resolution
." control display is included with the Navigation and iDrive system.
Accessing or customizing numerous information and entertainment
functions is easier than ever with iDrive. This feature includes directselection buttons for specific menus, and six programmable memory
buttons that give one-touch access to your most frequently used
functions. From this vantage point, virtually every driving wish is granted.

THIS IS HOW MUCH HAS GONE IN. AND THIS IS WHAT COMES OUT.
At BMW, we create dynamic vehicles that thrill you with quick acceleration, predictable handling and unshakable control. We are also busy
fi nding innovative fuels and technologies that help preserve the environment while delivering legendary performance. This is what we refer
to as “Effi cientDynamics.” This goal led to the visionary CleanEnergy hydrogen-powered engine in the BMW Hydrogen Sedan. In ,
BMW introduced Advanced Diesel with BluePerformance in the U.S., offering diesel power with quick acceleration, increased fuel effi ciency
and reduced emissions. And now, BMW’s ActiveHybrid X and ActiveHybrid vehicles combine combustion and electric power to boost
performance while simultaneously reducing fuel consumption and CO emissions. At BMW, we are driven to do much more with less.

xDrive | Dynamic Stability Control 34 | 35
Continuous power shift: Rear axle Front axle
BMW’s xDrive all-wheel-drive system continuously monitors the vehicle’s status – rpms,
steering angle, acceleration – and when it detects wheelspin, sends the optimal
amount of power to the axle with traction.
xDRIVE ALL-WHEEL DRIVE:
THE POWER TO MASTER
ANYTHING THAT CROSSES
YOUR PATH.
The intelligent xDrive all-wheel-drive system takes all-road traction to new heights
while maintaining a BMW’s legendary agility. On smooth, dry roads, vehicles with
xDrive have the feel of their rear-wheel-drive counterparts. But hit a wet uphill
curve, for instance, and even before wheelspin can occur, the xDrive system
immediately recognizes any need for a change in power distribution. Almost
instantaneously, xDrive can send more torque to the front axle to enhance stability.
Should one wheel or axle spin faster than the other, the brakes automatically
engage, as needed, to bring all wheels back in sync.
Working in conjunction with xDrive is the latest version of BMW’s Dynamic
Stability Control (DSC) system that includes four innovative automatic braking
functions: Brake Stand-by: If you suddenly remove your foot from the throttle,
DSC anticipates that you’re going to want to stop quickly. It then pre-tenses the
brake calipers for quicker action when you step on the brake pedal. Brake Drying:
When it rains, your brakes get wet and can take longer to stop the vehicle. When
the sensor determines that it is raining, it reacts by periodically bringing the brake
pads into contact with the rotors, just enough to eliminate the accumulated
moisture and help dry them, but not enough to cause brake application. Start-off
Assistant: When stopped on an incline, DSC prevents your vehicle from rolling
backwards or forwards. It even holds your car momentarily when you release the
brake to start moving again. Brake Fade Compensation: As your brakes heat up
due to contin uous or repeated braking (like when you’re descending a winding
mountain road), the same pedal action results in less braking power. DSC senses
and compensates for this by applying the brakes with more force with the same
pedal action.
Augmenting the xDrive system are Automatic Stability Control (ASC) and Dynamic
Brake Control (DBC), which maximizes brake force on both axles, should the system
detect that the driver wishes to brake as hard as possible. And a special Dynamic
Traction Control (DTC) mode can be selected at the push of a button, allowing
more wheel slip and yaw angle, providing incremental traction on slippery surfaces
and snow. BMW’s advanced traction and stability technology ensure that no
challenge faced on the road ever goes unanswered.
Safety features 36 | 37
In the event of a severe impact, up to six airbags can deploy, and front-seat
head restraints can pivot upward, to help protect front-seat occupants. In a
side collision, BMW’s Head Protection System (HPS) helps shield front and
rear passengers’ heads and torsos from impact and debris.
Please note: These pictures of airbags are for illustrative purposes only.
Depending upon the type of accident, none, some or all airbags may deploy.

BMW and the environment.
BMW is a strong proponent of the environment and social responsibility. It is important to manage the
earth’s resources responsibly, and not jeopardize the needs of future generations. That is why BMW
makes vehicles that minimize adverse environmental impact, from production (pollution prevention and
waste minimization at the plant) through owner use (low emissions) to eventual disposal (easy drainability
of all fluid-related components and easy neutralization of all pyrotechnic devices).
This effort has been recognized worldwide and, as a result, we are pleased to have received numerous
environmental honors. In the U.S., for example, the Environmental Protection Agency accepted BMW’s
Spartanburg, SC production and manufacturing facility as a charter member of the agency’s National
Environmental Performance Track. Internation ally, BMW AG – the parent company of both BMW of
North America and BMW Manufacturing Co., Spartanburg, SC – was the first automotive company to
be represented on the Dow Jones Sustainability Group Index, and has remained on the Index ever since.
At BMW, we strive for high performance in everything we do.
