Merging time-honored design values with forwardlooking ideas, the BMW  Series is instantly recognizable.
Its sweeping profi le with set-back pas senger cabin
reveals artful, sculpted details with every glance, while
conveying its confi dent, muscular power. In front, the
signature twin-kidney grille is rendered higher and wider,
channeling more air to BMW’s powerful engines so they
can breathe more deeply. Distinctive Corona headlightrings in the familiar four-headlight BMW visage serve as
Daytime Running Lights. A unique roofl ine and longer
rear doors distinguish the long-wheelbase models,
hinting at the greater room to stretch out in the rear cabin.

BMW EFFICIENT DYNAMICS:
ENSURING A LONG FUTURE
OF DRIVING PLEASURE.
Steered by the principles of Effi cientDynamics, BMW launches a new era in driving
performance. BMW’s commitment to Effi cientDynamics means creating more power
without increasing fuel consumption and emissions. It means greater structural integrity
while using lighter materials. Most important, it means delivering on the promise of
“The Ultimate Driving Machine®” while respecting today’s resources – and tomorrow’s.

FUELED BY A
PASSION FOR
DRIVING – AND
PREPARED
FOR WHAT
LIES AHEAD.
The superb suspension system and Driving Dynamics
Control give the BMW  Series a voracious appetite for
the road. At the same time, it’s prepared to handle the
types of driving conditions that can reduce not only
comfort but alertness, fatiguing the driver. At highway
speeds, in traffi c jams or toll lanes, Active Cruise Control
with Stop & Go automatically maintains your preset
speed and distance to the vehicle ahead, alternately
braking and proceeding as needed. And the Navigation
system provides Real Time Traffi c Information, helping
you to avoid stressful driving conditions in the fi rst place.
 Active Cruise Control is not a substitute for the driver’s own
responsibility in adjusting speed and otherwise controlling the
vehicle. After evaluating road, traffi c and visibility conditions,
the driver must decide whether and how the system is used.

ENVIOUS.
An instrument panel that comes to life from behind a Black Panel Display
is the first sign of the  Series’ remarkable blend of advanced technology
and innovative luxury. In true BMW fashion, controls are driver-oriented
and easy to reach. Driving controls are to the left, comfort controls are to
the right, and using them becomes second nature. The Head-up Display
projects vehicle speed and driving information on the windshield, directly
in the driver’s line of sight. BMW’s redesigned iDrive Controller is more
intuitive than ever to use, and presents more options at eye level on a
.-inch LCD screen. It includes eight programmable memory buttons
that let you store your most frequently accessed functions. And, like
iDrive, the standard Navigation and audio systems also respond to
your voice commands.

THE BEST SEATS
IN THE HOUSE
AREN’T NECESSARILY
IN THE HOUSE.
As thoroughly as the BMW  Series caters to its driver,
it also takes fi rst-class care of its passengers. After the
soft-closing of the automatic doors, those riding in the
rear compartment enjoy room to stretch out in comfortable
seats upholstered in soft Nappa Leather, and bathed in the
warm nighttime glow of Ambiance lighting. Two separate,
rear climate controls allow individualized temperature zones.
The miles, minutes and hours of the journey will melt away
when there’s a Rear Entertainment Package that keeps
both passengers riveted to individual -inch color screens
built into the front-seat backrests. And glare is never a
problem with the power rear window and rear side window
sunshades that ensure privacy while helping to keep the
cabin cool.

PROFILES IN LUXURY.
From any angle, at any distance, the BMW  Series
conveys its powerful presence. Understated yet strong
character lines shape the hood’s “powerdome,” then
fl ow down to frame the classic twin-kidney grille. The
longest wheelbase in its class sets a foundation for the
sleek profi le of the Li, Li and Li, while yielding
truly spacious accommodations inside. Even with a longer
roof and rear doors, each still retains a coupe-like profi le,
while the positioning of the passenger compartment and
short overhangs preserve the classic BMW proportions.
A strong shoulder line continues uninterrupted across
the deep-seated door handles, underscoring the level of
craftsmanship. Together with a pronounced, sporty rocker
panel that is quite bold for a luxury sedan, the  Series’
sleekness is accentuated, suggesting motion even
when parked.

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

while simultaneously reducing fuel consumption and CO emissions. At BMW, we are driven to do much more with less.

THE MOST DYNAMIC WAY TO DRIVE A HYBRID.
Forget everything you previously thought about hybrids: that they are slow, unexciting vehicles that sacrifi ce performance,
space and luxury in the name of frugality. The BMW ActiveHybrid  blends all the outstanding attributes of the  Series
with greatly enhanced effi ciency. In fact, the BMW ActiveHybrid  is the world’s fastest hybrid vehicle, rocketing smoothly
from  to  mph in an incredible . seconds, while realizing up to  percent greater fuel economy than the non-hybrid
 Series. This “mild” hybrid gets its power from two closely interlinked drive units that permanently work together. BMW’s
TwinPower Turbo V- combustion engine – the main drive source – puts maximum torque at your command, even at low
engine speeds. It’s linked to an electric motor with a storage battery, which generates a V--worthy power boost for
blistering acceleration. The ActiveHybrid  is also designed to minimize the weight and space requirements of the normally
bulky hybrid components. True to the philosophy of Effi cientDynamics, BMW uses innovative technology to combine
maximum driving pleasure with the lowest possible fuel consumption and emissions.

YOU KNOW WHAT A HYBRID IS.
YOU NEED TO KNOW WHAT BMW MAKES OF IT.
In the BMW ActiveHybrid , the combustion engine and electric motor work closely together. Depending upon the situation – maintaining current speed, generating electricity to run various features,
or providing bursts of power needed for quick acceleration – one unit backs up the other to an optimal degree. This serves to enhance the effi cient performance of BMW’s TwinPower Turbo V-
engine, generating V- performance with six-cylinder fuel economy. Among other factors, the low overall weight of the system makes the BMW ActiveHybrid  the front-runner among hybrids when
it comes to acceleration.
