The  Series Sports Wagon seats fi ve comfortably with plenty of space left for luggage and other items. But the  Series
is fi rst and foremost a BMW – so the most important seat is still the one behind the wheel. Under the hood of both i
and i xDrive models: BMW’s .-liter inline six-cylinder Valvetronic engine. With a rewarding  hp and  lb-ft
of torque on tap, it satisfi es even the most demanding driving needs. The i xDrive also features the iron grip of the
xDrive intelligent all-wheel-drive system, for the added confi dence of optimal traction on nearly any road, in virtually
any conditions. The  Series Sports Wagon: a most powerful way to answer the call of the road.

06 | 07 Exterior
Be prepared for anything.
Behind the wheel, you already are.
With impressive power must come the tools to help you control it. The  Series Sports Wagon,
with its array of innovative driving systems, makes it easy to maintain your confi dence. A fi rm yet
responsive connection to the road is essential; when the  Series Sports Wagon detects oversteer,
understeer or skidding, Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) automatically activates precision braking
and modulates power to help optimize vehicle handling. In the i xDrive, the power of BMW’s
intelligent all-wheel-drive system boosts your confi dence even further. An advanced traction
system designed for the most adverse driving conditions, xDrive transfers torque to the wheels
with grip, helping to keep you safely on course. Wherever you go, the  Series has you covered.
Leave your expectations at home.

Exterior 08 | 09
From every angle, a smooth interpretation of power.
From headlights to taillights, the Sports Wagon's chiseled contours reflect the athletic nature of the BMW  Series.
Character lines trace the graceful slope of the hood, directing your eyes down to the BMW kidney grille with its bold,
sleek form, flanked by the signature quad headlights with their distinctive Corona headlight-rings that can double as
Daytime Running Lights. The line ends, then curves back up at the muscular front air dam with its jewel-like foglights.
The side flows back, its complex contours reflecting the nuances of unique paint colors such as Tasman Green Metallic
and Blue Water Metallic. And at the rear, grace and practicality meet in the handsome, thoughtfully designed tailgate.
Elegant, dynamic, functional: all integral elements of the  Series Sports Wagon's personality.

Exterior 10 | 11
Harness the  Series Sports Wagon’s spirited -hp engine with a transmission that’s equally impressive. Choose
one of two smooth-shifting -speeds: either the silken manual or the STEPTRONIC automatic with Adaptive Transmission
Control. And for a rewarding, racing-inspired drive, steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters are included when you
combine the automatic transmission and Sport Package or M Sport Package. What else would you expect from a
BMW with “Sports” in its name?

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 i Sports Wagon 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 unmatched by any competitor.

Fiercely protective of its owner.
Building on BMW’s distinguished safety record, the  Series Sports Wagon’s broad array of active and passive
safety features gives you peace of mind. Crisp handling, fade-resistant braking 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 Sports Wagon’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 frontseat 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 be easily checked at a glance. A high-resolution ." control display is
included with the Navigation and iDrive system. Designed for greater convenience when accessing or customizing
various information and entertainment functions, iDrive includes direct-selection keys for specific menus, and six
programmable memory keys that give one-touch access to your most frequently used functions. From this vantage
point, virtually every driving wish is granted.

No compromises.
That includes passenger and cargo space.
Cargo space: the area where the  Series Sports Wagon really earns its keep. Need to stow groceries, suitcases,
sports equipment? The  Series Sports Wagon’s spacious layout and smart design let you fi t it all in with ease.
Another convenience: / split-folding seats for greater storage versatility, so you can pack longer items, like
skis. Loading a few, small objects? Don’t bother lifting the tailgate; the rear window opens separately, for quick
access. Thanks to the standard run-fl ats, there’s no need for a spare tire – so BMW transformed the unused space
under the cargo fl oor into a handy hidden storage area, complete with dividers and a tool kit. Whether it’s a trip to
the grocery store or a cross-country excursion, this is cargo space that goes the distance.

xDrive | Dynamic Stability Control 34 | 35
Continuous power shift: Rear axle Front axle
BMW's xDrive intelligent 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.
In the i xDrive Sports Wagon, xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive takes all-road
traction to new heights while maintaining 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, and standard in all  Series models, is the
latest version of BMW's Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) system. This 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.

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 fi rst 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.
