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 ways to sustain this level of performance
while incorporating innovative fuels and technologies to help preserve the environment. This is what we refer to as “Effi cientDynamics.” This goal has led to the visionary CleanEnergy hydrogenpowered engine, which is currently used in the BMW Hydrogen 7 Sedan. BMW Advanced Diesel with BluePerformance, which offers diesel power with quick acceleration, increased fuel
effi ciency and reduced emissions, is being introduced to the U.S. in select models in 2009, including the X5 xDrive35d. In fact, every BMW on the road today comes standard with technology
that boosts performance while simultaneously reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
Advanced Diesel with BluePerformance Aerodynamics
The X5 xDrive35d benefits from the massive power and The more smoothly that air flows over a vehicle,

50 states, thanks to its BluePerformance technology. which translates into quicker acceleration, more
stable handling, quieter operation and greater fuel
efficiency. A BMW’s integrated front spoilers reduce
the amount of air flowing underneath, minimizing
front-end lift. This allows a BMW to hug the road
at higher speeds for excellent stability.
Thanks to innovative features of
EfficientDynamics, BMW has been able
to significantly reduce CO2 emissions
in many models. But that’s just for starters.
