A CLASSIC SPREADS
ITS WINGS.
It has already outrun the competition, become a favorite of drivers
around the world, and advanced the luxury performance heritage of
BMW. So where does the all-new BMW 3 Series go from here? It
branches out.
Not content to simply deliver a new twist on a timeless classic, BMW.
reinvents the personality of the 20 Series in a completely different
way: with the Sport, Luxury and Modern Lines. Each represents an
opportunity for owners to fall in love with a unique vehicle by choosing
the Line they feel best suits their personalities. These three innovative
Lines provide a totally new, totally customizable vehicle that’s literally
designed to please.
In another bold move, BMW returns to four-cylinder power — but this
time with the 240-hp TwinPower Turbo inline engine in the 328i. A
thrilling example of BMW EfficientDynamics, the 328i delivers potent
torque and quick acceleration, along with astounding fuel efficiency.
Regardless of the Line or engine size, every all-new BMW 3 Series
Sedan retains many of the same compelling features the model has
become known for: high-performance, fuel-efficient engines and
transmissions, sporty handling and suspension, and groundbreaking
engineering advances, such as extensive lightweight construction
and near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution. There are also many
new features and options to enhance the look, functionality and
comfort of the 3 Series.
What's on the horizon? Several additions to the 3 Series Sedan stable.
In the upcoming months, a dynamic M Sport Package will take highperformance attitude to the Mth degree, while the 328xi and 335xi will
add the optimized traction of BMW’s xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive.
And the ActiveHybrid 3 Series vehicle gives sporty performance an
eco-friendly update. Trust BMW: good things will always come in 3s.

A new concept in luxury performance comes
to light with the new 2012 3 Series.
The newest BMW star performer steps out in style with
afresh complement of enhancements and styling cues,
thanks in part to the distinctive details of the three new
Lines. There’s a more confident stance on the road and
more aggressive front end, highlighted by a unique “threedimensional” kidney grille. And in a noteworthy design
feature, the front headlights now extend into the grille.
Both the front and rear accentuate the vehicle’s muscular
silhouette, as does the slight increase in height and length
—which also translates to a more spacious interior, with
more legroom and headroom. Even as it races away
from sight, the L-shape taillights remind you: the all-new
3 Series Sedan was made to move.

The BMW 3 Series has always had plenty of personality to go around; now, for 2012,
BMW enhances this legendary vehicle’s attitude — and its image. The trio of captivating
and inventive Lines satisfies owners of various stripes by offering exclusive details that
instantly identify the vehicle’s “mood.” The Sport Line adheres to the 3 Series’ winning
legacy on the track. The Modern Line is a more understated iteration that still retains
the impressive 3 Series character. And as its name implies, the Luxury Line delivers a
wealth of elegance and sophistication inside and out. All three Lines retain, at their core,
the winning attributes of the 3 Series Sedan: classic contours, a sporty stance, and that
BMW charisma that keeps drivers coming back for more.

A THREE-WAY TIE FOR FIRST.
Each BMW Line’s interior displays the inner workings of a class winner.
No matter which Line you choose, the 2012 BMW 3 Series shows off its inner beauty
to incredible effect. With a single look, you'll recognize the difference between the three
personalities. The Sport Line shows off its natural athleticism in the bold colors of its trim
accents and eye-catching stitching. The Luxury Line creates an elegant space using a
wealth of rich materials, from supple Dakota Leather upholstery to warm wood trims. And
the Modern Line finds harmony among its elements, utilizing neutral hues and unique trims
to achieve a calming environment. Each variant has a more personalized feel, along with
the generous interior space and unparalleled comfort that the 3 Series is known for. It’s a
new way to literally get into your 3 Series vehicle — by discovering which Line speaks to you.
Balance and contemporary poise are
the rule for the BMW Modern Line.
Fineline Wood interior trim with a Pear!
Gloss Chrome highlight offers rich, textured
wood grain — a delightful pairing with the
Dark Oyster instrument panel and steering
wheel. Supple and calming Dakota Leather
upholstery options complete the picture.
The design scheme of the BMW Sport
Line makes effective use of bold color,
as in the red contrast stitching on the
steering wheel and red contrasting rings
surrounding the instrument dials in the
light-color dashboard. Red or black highlights accent the trims and upholstery.
The BMW Luxury Line imparts a
sense of unparalleled sophistication,
from classic upholstery colors and
exclusive stitching, to fine wood
trims, available for the first time in
this class with an optional inlay.

UNFORGETTABLE DRIVING
STARTS WITH UNMATCHED
TECHNOLOGY.
The 2012 BMW 3 Series:
engineered to satisfy in every capacity.
Nothing says “BMW” like sporty control on the
road —- and no BMW model delivers it quite like
the 2012 3 Series. It starts with the foundation:
the rigid yet lightweight construction of the
suspension and the near-perfect 50/50 weight
distribution. Now the all-new 3 Series also
features an advanced front apron design that
creates an air curtain to help reduce turbulence
in the wheel arch area. In tandem with the
BMW’s signature rear-wheel drive, the 3 Series
puts you in total, thrilling command of the road.
This responsive handling is wedded to another
cutting-edge engineering advancement: Variable
Sport Steering, a variable-ratio steering system
option that offers nimble, precise handling at
lower speeds and more stable response at
higher speeds.
Speaking of road feel, Driving Dynamics Control
allows those behind the wheel to customize
the driving characteristics of the 3 Series, from
accelerator and engine response, to power
steering characteristics and Dynamic Stability
Control (DSC) thresholds. Those parameters are
grouped into four different modes: COMFORT,
SPORT, SPORT+ and ECO PRO, each designed
to offer a different driving experience. Another
button activates Dynamic Traction Control (DTC),
for easier starts and stops on loose surfaces or
in deep snow.
Soon, with the availability of xDrive - BMW’s
all-wheel-drive system — an even greater level
of optimized traction will be available for both
the 335i and the 328i Sedans.

THE ENGINES OF THE 3 SERIES:
MOTORWORKS OF ART.
The 2012 BMW 3 Series answers the
question: how exciting can efficiency be?
Inspiring performance: the hallmark of every
BMW 3 Series vehicle. It starts with the engine
— the heart of BMW’s reputation and the focal
point of many technological innovations over
the years. This trend continues with the allnew BMW 335i and 328i Sedans for 2012.
Both incorporate our EfficientDynamics principles, for peerless performance, increased
efficiency and decreased emissions. And both
engines proudly feature BMW’s innovative
TwinPower Turbo technology for aggressive
high-rewving power with responsive acceleration and smooth delivery.
In the 335i, BMW’s multi-award-winning 3.0-liter
inline six-cylinder engine produces a whopping
300 horsepower, 300 Ib-ft of torque, anda
7000-rpm redline. It’s this refined power that
propels the vehicle from 0-60 in a breathtaking
5.4 seconds. In the 328i, BMW introduces a
masterful inline four-cylinder powerplant that
generates 240 horsepower and 255 Ib-ft of
torque. Peak torque arrives at 1250 rpm and
stays strong all the way through to 4800 rpm.
It's enough to rocket the 328i from standstill
to 60 in just 5.7 seconds.2 Both models can
be paired with a standard 6-speed manual
transmission, an optional 8-speed STEPTRONIC
automatic transmission, or an available 8-speed
Sport Automatic with paddle shifters — a first
for the class — for amazingly smooth shifting
and control.

BMW EfficientDynamics
Less emissions. More driving pleasure.
WE’VE SPENT DECADES
ON SAVING GALLONS.
EfficientDynamics: how BMW defines a legacy of power.
Much more than simply a “template” for groundbreaking engineering and design, EfficientDynamics encapsulates everything BMW
stands for: maximum high-performance output, with as little waste
and emissions as possible. It’s a process that shows up in a variety
of forms, including the new ECO PRO mode in the 2012 3 Series.
Accessible via Driving Dynamics Control, this innovative power management system regulates energy consumption with an unprecedented level of precision — even going so far as to alter the climate
control, heated seats and exterior mirrors in order to conserve fuel
by as much as 20 percent when operating at optimum efficiency.
Then there’s the Auto Start-Stop function, which automatically
switches the engine off during short stops, like at traffic lights.
And the Brake Energy Regeneration system captures unused
kinetic energy that’s normally wasted when braking and coasting,
and stores it in the battery.
BMW EfficientDynamics also makes its way into the more traditional
features of the 2012 3 Series. Both engine options, for example, are
paragons of fuel efficiency, particularly the new TwinPower Turbo
inline four-cylinder in the 328i — a lively 2.0-liter powerplant with
satisfyingly responsive performance. All
transmission options — a 6-speed manual,
an 8-speed STEPTRONIC automatic, or an
8-speed Sport Automatic — allow faster,
smoother shifting, which uses less fuel.
And the extensive use of lightweight
construction throughout ensures a lean
and muscular vehicle. Even the new
turbulence-reducing air curtain in the
3 Series’ front apron has a hand in forwarding the EfficientDynamics mandate
— proof that the 2012 BMW 3 Series is
the sum of many intelligently designed
components.

THESE SEATS
ARE GOING FAST.
Refined comfort has a place in high performance.
At BMW, we realize if power is the key to true performance, then
comfort is the key to true luxury. The all-new 3 Series is no exception. Regardless of the Line, every inch of each vehicle is designed
to please and inspire. And with more legroom and headroom than
its predecessor, it’s already off to a good start. Plush Dakota Leather
upholstery finished with Line-specific stitching ranges from subtle
to bold contrasting. Likewise, trims vary greatly depending on the
Line, ranging from soft-hued Woods to sporty Aluminum to sleek
High Gloss Black and beyond. Generous front-door storage compartments can now easily fit one-liter water bottles; two cupholders
for the driver and front-seat passenger are standard. In the back,
the rear split-folding seats provide a range of cargo-carrying options.
Even Comfort Access has been upgraded. Now, with your arms full
of groceries or luggage, you can simply

EVOLUTION OF
THE SPECIES.
An interview with Adrian van Hooydonk, Director of Product Design at the
BMW Group, Munich, on the new BMW 3 Series Sedan.
As the bestselling model, the 3 Series
Sedan plays a very important role within
the BMW range. What does this special
responsibility mean to you, and how is
it reflected in the design?
You're right, the BMW 3 Series Sedan is kind of
the core model within the brand, which means
it is of outstanding importance — both emotional
as well as practical. The BMW 3 Series is the
sporty compact Sedan that unites all the core
values of the brand. So the vehicle has to exude
a sporty, elegant and dynamic appeal, while still
balancing this perfectly with everyday usability.
Sporty, compact luxury sedans are what
has built the BMW brand. This all-new
BMW 3 Series is the sixth generation.
What outstanding features do they all
have in common?
The BMW 3 Series has always aimed to be the
world’s sportiest sedan. And so far, each generation 3 Series Sedan has been the benchmark
and standard in its segment. Of course, that’s
something we want to continue.
If you had to sum up the all-new 3 Series
in two concepts, what would they be?
Rooted in history and moving forward in design.
The 3 Series has a rich history. With each new
generation it receives a fresh and contemporary
face that interprets the iconic features of classic
BMW design in a new way, moving the design
forward.
When an observer approaches the all-new
BMW 3 Series Sedan, what is the first
impression the design should make?
The observer should immediately recognize that
the BMW 3 Series Sedan is the iconic sporty
compact luxury car. The BMW brand’s core
values of sportiness, elegance and dynamism
must be apparent at first glance.
The headlights and kidney grille of the
all-new BMW 3 Series almost form a
single unit, projecting a very focused
gaze. Is that an expression of sportiness?
The focused look of the twin headlights with
the slightly cut-off top edge is already familiar
from other models, and it’s reinforced here
by the chamfered bottom edge. The way the
headlights and kidney grille coalesce to form
one visual unit harks back to the sporting
history of the BMW brand.
Driver orientation is a key feature of the
BMW 3 Series Sedan interior. How is it
expressed?
Driver orientation is a hallmark BMW characteristic that can be found in every model. Of
course, it’s of particular importance in the BMW
3 Series Sedan, with its sporty personality. So
the instrument panel is clearly angled toward
the driver, continuing via the center console into
the interior. All relevant controls are ergonomically arranged around the driver, for intuitive
operation.
The new freestanding flat screen appears
light and elegant. The bulk and height of
the instrument panel have been reduced.
How did this innovation come about?
Thanks to improvements in Display technology,
we were now able to implement this design in
the BMW 3 Series, as well. The entire interior
benefits from this. The vehicle becomes lighter,
and gains a more upmarket feel.
Tell us about the new “Lines” concept.
In addition to the basic equipment, the all-new
BMW 3 Series is available in three equipment
configurations that clearly differentiate the
exterior and interior appearance of the vehicle.
The Sport, Luxury and Modern Lines each
underscore different personality facets of the
all-new 3 Series Sedan. In this way, customers
can create a vehicle that expresses who they
are and conforms to their preferences.
For the first time, in addition to new colors
and shapes, you are also using innovative
materials, such as porous wood in the
Modern Line. How big a challenge was it
to integrate this material into a vehicle?
The new, porous wood looks and feels very
much like untreated wood. The trim elements
have a matte finish and a three-dimensional
texture that really invites you to touch and
experience them.
The window areas in the all-new 3 Series
appear bigger and lower than in its predecessor. What effect were you aiming for?
We took care to design a greenhouse that felt
very light — with thin pillars and lots of window
area, for good visibility. The unified window
design also elongates the vehicle visually, and
makes the BMW 3 Series appear very dynamic
and elegant when seen from the side.
Adrian van Hooydonk, thank you very
much for this interesting and informative
conversation.

BMW EfficientDynamics
Less emissions. More driving pleasure.
BMW was one of the first manufacturers to pursue the goal of efficient driving technologies, as part
of a multi-award-winning sustainability strategy. BMW EfficientDynamics represents an acclaimed
standard package of innovative technologies that reduce fuel consumption and emissions, while
simultaneously enhancing dynamic performance. Since 1995 BMW has been able to reduce the CO
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 EFFICIENT DYNAMICS:
MAKING A LITTLE GO A LONG WAY.
Different paths to the same destination: unmistakable BMW driving pleasure. Under the umbrella of the BMW EfficientDynamics project, BMW is
continuously developing innovative systems that will bring us closer to the goal of emissions-free mobility in the long term. This BMW program for
more driving pleasure is based on several pillars:
Eco-friendly technology. The development of more efficient vehicles powered by conventional diesel and gasoline engines are continuing challenges. A comprehensive technology directive enables the reduction of fuel consumption and emissions, while at the same time increasing power
output and driving enjoyment. These advances are based on innovations such as BMW TwinPower Turbo technology, Brake Energy Regeneration,
air curtain front apron design, and many others.
BMW ActiveHybrid. With the BMW ActiveHybrid 7, BMW ActiveHybrid X6 and BMW ActiveHybrid 5, BMW has impressive hybrid production models
in its line. Soon the BMW ActiveHybrid 3 will be joining the team. All these models combine outstanding efficiency with superlative dynamic ability.
BMW ActiveE. Since 2011, there has been a new form of dynamism on the roads: the all-electric BMW ActiveE. It is manufactured in a small
production run, as part of a pilot project. In this way, BMW is preparing the way for the emissions-free mobility of the future.
BMW Hydrogen and Electric. BMW continues its research into alternative drive concepts for the future, such as hydrogen drive. The BMW i brand
will launch completely new vehicle concepts for sustainable mobility in an urban environment, such as the BMW i3 and the BMW i8. Key features of
these vehicle concepts include the use of lightweight materials such as Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP), electric drive systems, powerful
battery technology and eco-friendly production methods. BMW EfficientDynamics technologies are also an important part of BMW i vehicles.

THE ALL-NEW 3 SERIES SEDAN’S
EFFICIENT DYNAMICS INITIATIVE AT A GLANCE.
Auto Start-Stop function.
Even when idling, such as at a stop sign, an engine burns fuel. BMW’s
Auto Start-Stop function enhances fuel efficiency by switching off the
engine. (The intelligent electronics system first checks the battery charge
level and calculates if other electric systems, like the heated rear window,
need more energy.) Once the brake pedal is released, the engine starts
up again almost instantly. A Start-Stop signal in the Display indicates the
function is active.
BMW TwinPower Turbo technology.
This innovative twin-scroll turbocharging technology efficiently reclaims
the energy contained in exhaust gases, using a twin-scroll charger with
a double-flow exhaust system.
Brake Energy Regeneration.
To supply a battery with electrical energy, the generator (alternator) is
usually driven using engine power, which requires fuel. With Brake
Energy Regeneration, the alternator generates electricity only when
you take your foot off the accelerator. Kinetic energy that was previously
unharnessed is transformed into electrical energy, which is then fed into
the battery. In this way, electricity is generated without consuming fuel.
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.
’ As determined in an internal BMW fuel-consumption study.
ECO PRO Mode.
Driving in ECO PRO mode helps customers achieve fuel savings of up
to 20 percent, depending on their individual style of driving. This mode
optimizes accelerator and transmission response as well as shift points,
and intelligently adapts the heating/air conditioning strategy. ECO PRO
tips help the driver drive even more efficiently. The bonus range shown
by the on-board computer indicates how many additional miles the driver
has gained thanks to the increased efficiency in ECO PRO mode since
the last fill-up.
8-speed Sport Automatic transmission.
The close spacing of gear ratios in the 8-speed Sport Automatic transmission makes maximum use of the optimum rev range, reducing fuel
consumption and allowing smoother shifts.
Lightweight construction.
Our engineers use lightweight aluminum throughout our vehicles — in
the front section, for example, or for the suspension. BMW’s six-cylinder
TwinPower Turbo engine is all aluminum. Taken together, these weight
savings lead to lower fuel consumption and better axle load distribution
for more agility, especially in curves.
High Precision Direct 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.
Not all BMW EfficientDynamics features are available on all models.
Please see your authorized BMW center for details.

TWO ENGINES THAT MAKE ALL THE RIGHT MOVES.
High-rewing power and responsiveness are characteristics of every BMW engine. Naturally, the BMW TwinPower Turbo engines available for the new
BMW 3 Series Sedan follow the BMW EfficientDynamics philosophy: to combine maximum performance with maximum efficiency, minimizing both
fuel consumption and CO; emissions. Whichever engine you choose, maximum driving pleasure combined with superb efficiency is the result.

THE BMW ACTIVE HYBRID 3:
AN ALL-NEW STANDARD FOR SPORTY PERFORMANCE.
The world’s first sports sedan is now the first and most dynamic hybrid in its class. The BMW ActiveHybrid 3 delivers the same thrilling performance
as the 2012 BMW 335i, but with a dramatic increase in efficiency and a decrease in emissions. It is also the first time that BMW ActiveHybrid technology has been integrated right from the start into the design of a new vehicle. As a result, the component that usually compromises passenger and
cargo space in hybrid vehicles — the battery — has now been ingeniously placed under the floor of the trunk. This ensures ample storage space and
use of the handy through-loading feature. In the BMW ActiveHybrid 3, there is no sacrifice in comfort or convenience.

Less emissions. More driving pleasure.
All-electric driving: the 40 kW (55 hp) output of the electric motor
allows all-electric driving over longer distances. Using Driving Dynamics
Control to activate the ECO PRO mode, the transmission uncouples the
engine and shuts it off when you take your foot off the accelerator. This
feature enables the BMW ActiveHybrid 3 to “sail” downhill almost silently
up to 100 mph. When the ECO PRO mode is deactivated, it is possible
to sail at speeds of up to 50 mph.

It is a trait that every BMW embodies without exception: sheer driving dynamics. Incorporated into every
BMW is the integration of chassis and suspension that provides for a legendary driving experience.
Designed to transfer optimal power to the road, the system also strives to provide and maintain ideal
road-holding characteristics in any situation. The net result is a perfect synchronization of numerous
innovative comp ts and a near-perfect 50:50 weight distribution. BMW engineers are persistent
in their dedication to reinvent and refine the BMW typical driving dynamics over and over again. The
ultimate goal is to have every BMW chassis convey the passion for a sporty driving feel directly from
the vehicle to the driver — and at the same time offer maximum safety and comfort.
THE BEST FOUNDATION FOR DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE:
ASUPERIOR CHASSIS.
The all-new BMW 3 Series Sedan can be equipped with a whole host of innovative technologies to help you get the most out of each drive. Many of
these systems are intelligently networked with each other, maximizing your active safety quotient — and your driving pleasure.
Adaptive Sport Suspension. This technologically advanced suspension system is based
on electronically controlled dampers that adapt
to the style of the driver and driving conditions.
Settings can be designated by using the Driving
Dynamics button. The optional adaptive suspension also includes a lowering of the vehicle by
approximately 10 mm, without sacrificing the
ride comfort of the new BMW 3 Series Sedan.
Stiffer, more sporty settings of the system can
be selected by activating the SPORT mode or
the SPORT + mode, using the Driving Dynamics
button.
Variable Sport Steering. This system continuously adjusts the steering ratio and steering
force to suit the changing driving situation. The
steering ratio is constantly adjusted depending
on the steering movement. So you can enjoy
increased agility on winding roads, more safety
at higher speeds, and great flexibility when
parking.
Electric Power Steering. Unlike conventional,
hydraulic steering systems, electric power steering only draws power during actual steering
movements. While driving on major highways
where a minimal amount of steering movement
is required, the electric motor remains inactive.
8-speed Sport Automatic transmission.
The close spacing of gear ratios in the optional
8-speed Sport Automatic transmission enables
maximum use of the optimum rev range, significantly lowering fuel consumption and enhancing
shift comfort. In the new BMW 3 Series Sedan,
it is combined with an Auto Start-Stop function.
In this way, the vehicle provides increased dynamism and ride comfort, combined with reduced
fuel consumption and emissions.
Chassis. In the new BMW 3 Series Sedan,
a special directive was initiated to construct a
lighter passenger compartment, but design
it to be as stiff as possible to offer the highest
in driving dynamics and safety. The stiffer chassis results in enhanced steering precision and
agility, as well as increased security for all passengers. With highly effective deformation
zones in the front and rear, the body absorbs
a maior part of the impact energy in the event
of a collision.
Driving Dynamics Control including
ECO PRO Mode. The ability to change driving
characteristics in the BMW 3 Series Sedan
can be accomplished by pressing the Driving
Dynamics button. Choose from four settings:
ECO PRO, NORMAL, SPORT and SPORT+, to adjust
engine-throttle response, transmission shift
characteristics and power-steering assist. In
addition, the traction control feature can be
disengaged when driving on sand, gravel, or
deep or packed snow.
Rear-wheel drive. BMW’s renowned driving
technology that provides inspired vehicle agility
and maneuverability. Rear-wheel drive enables
an ideal distribution of weight over the entire
chassis suspension, delivering power and
traction more precisely onto the pavement.

HIGH-TECH BODYGUARDS: ACTIVE AND PASSIVE SAFETY.
The 3 Series Sedan is designed with BMW’s full range of standard state-of-the-art active and passive safety technologies. Active safety features,
such as Xenon Adaptive Headlights, powerful engines and large brakes, help you see and respond to potentially dangerous situations. Should an
accident prove unavoidable, passive safety features, such as airbags are designed to help protect you and your passengers. After a severe impact,
a host of features spring into action: the doors automatically unlock, headlights and taillights flash, the starter cable is disconnected from the battery
and the fuel supply is cut off. If vehicle equipment also includes BMW Assist™ and any airbags should deploy, response specialists are automatically
alerted and notified of your location.
a bmwusa.com/allnew3
Xenon Adaptive Headlights for low- and high-beams enhance
illumination of the road ahead at night or in poor visibility. Four LED
Corona headlight-surrounds, which can be used as Daytime Running
Lights, also serve as parking lights. Adaptive Headlights provide optinum
illumination of the road ahead when the car enters a turn. Light distribution
is automatically adapted to the road speed and steering angle. Cornering
Lights, positioned in the two inner headlights, are automatically activated
by using the turn indicator or changing the steering wheel angle, even
when the vehicle is at rest.
Airbags. In the event of a collision, BMW’s supplemental restraint system
(SRS) determines which airbag(s) to deploy for optimal protection. When
a safety belt is used, airbags deploy only at a higher crash severity; the
force of the deployment depends upon the severity of the impact. Eight
airbags offer specific protection: front airbags with advanced technology
for driver and front passenger, front knee airbags, front-seat-mounted sideimpact airbags, and HPS (Head Protection System) bags for front and rear.
Note: These pictures of airbags are for illustrative purposes only. Depending upon the type of
accident, none, some or all airbags may deploy.
40 41 Chassis and safety features
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC). This system provides remarkable
tenacity on slippery road surfaces. If it senses over- or understeer, it
modulates engine power and can apply brakes individually to help keep
the vehicle under control and going in the intended direction. Start-off
Assistant, a feature of DSC, prevents the vehicle from rolling backward on
ahill for 1.5 seconds after taking your foot off the brake. The system also
includes Brake Fade Compensation, which lets you use the same amount
of pedal force, even when the brakes are heated; Brake Stand-by, which
pre-tenses the brakes for quicker action if you suddenly remove your foot
from the accelerator pedal; and Brake Drying, which periodically brings
the brake pads into contact with the rotors to eliminate accumulated
moisture when it rains.
BMW restraint system for the driver and front passenger combines
three-point safety belts, automatic safety-belt pretensioners, seat
bolsters that help prevent occupants from sliding forward, and Active
Head Restraints. This system helps provide optimum restraint in a
collision.
Impact-absorbing bumpers and compressible “crush tubes” front and
rear help absorb the force of impact in collisions up to 9 mph, helping to
minimize damage to the vehicle’s body and simplifying repairs. Only at
higher impact speeds do structural supports begin to deform, dissipating
impact energy to help protect occupants.
Body stiffness. The intelligent use of high-strength multi-phase steel
and aluminum provides a high degree of body stiffness and crash resistance. Components such as the A-pillars and windshield frame include
special reinforcements to provide optimum occupant protection. Door
reinforcements are designed to provide additional occupant protection
in the event of a side impact. Added protection is provided by diagonal
safety bars in the doors. When crash sensors detect a serious impact,
interior lights and hazard flashers activate, and the doors automatically
unlock to allow access for emergency aid.
Run-flat tires. Thanks to reinforced sidewalls, run-flat tires maintain
their shape and rim position even after suffering a complete loss of tire
pressure. They allow you to continue driving at a reduced speed until
you reach a safe area to change a tire or wait for Roadside Assistance.
The Tire Pressure Monitor alerts you when there is a drop in tire pressure;
if the loss is severe, an acoustic warning is triggered.

EVERY IVIILE
COUNTS.
The ECO PRO mode in the all-new BMW 3 Series Sedan teaches interested drivers
to become fuel-efficiency experts. Depending on individual driving style, it can result
in fuel savings of up to 20 percent.’ To motivate the driver, the additional miles gained
are displayed as a bonus range by the on-board computer.
ECO PRO TIPS.
We are only at the third traffic light, but we have
already racked up the first bonus mile. Next to
a small fuel dispenser icon in the display of the
new BMW 3 Series Sedan, the ECO PRO mode
we have activated is adding up the bonus range.
This is what the ECO PRO mode does. It’s
another element of the comprehensive BMW
EfficientDynamics technology package. ECO
PRO gives the driver tips on how to drive more
economically, and at the same time adjusts the
operation of technical systems in the all-new
BMW 3 Series Sedan for maximum efficiency.
The implementation of this clever fuel-saving
technology is the responsibility of project manager Jurgen Geus. “The ECO PRO mode uses
engine management software to adjust the
engine’s output characteristics; the automatic
transmission upshifts sooner and remains in a
higher gear longer. In cars with manual transmission, the gear shift recommendations change
accordingly. In addition, if they want to, drivers
can reduce the maximum output of the air conditioning and seat heating.” BMW engineers
have created all the technical prerequisites for
maximum fuel efficiency, but the driver represents another fuel-saving potential.
SMOOTH ACCELERATION.
The ECO PRO mode shows ECO PRO tips in
the Control Display. The display of the bonus
range gained by more efficient driving is designed to spark the driver’s ambition. Another
helpful tool in building up the bonus range is
a BMW EfficientDynamics display shown in the
tachometer, available in conjunction with the
extended-functions instrument cluster. A blue
bar represents optimum efficiency; it shows
a range within which there are only minimal
variations in fuel consumption. It’s only when
the driver applies more pressure to the accelerator pedal and leaves the blue zone that fuel
consumption rises disproportionately — and
then the color of the bar changes to gray.
ADDED RANGE.
In urban traffic, the ECO PRO mode’s savings
potential is particularly significant. Anticipatory
driving and avoiding abrupt acceleration result
in large savings, while costing next to no time.
In town, as well as on secondary roads and on
the highway, the ECO PRO mode provides the
driver with valuable insights for driving more
efficiently. When driving uphill, for example, it
is best to stay in the higher gear for as long as
possible. Doubters will be convinced by a look
at their bonus range.
ANTICIPATION.
In addition to tips on how to accelerate, the
ECO PRO mode also advises the driver on
other issues, such as anticipatory driving. The
overall display and data concept was developed
by Christian Popp. As the engineer describes
his intentions, “Saving fuel should be fun. The
changed accelerator response and the ECO

PRO tips that the driver can select make this
child’s play.” Anyone who has traveled a few
miles in ECO PRO mode is unlikely to want to
switch it off again - because the driver sees the
difference between the ECO PRO mode and
the other available modes (COMFORT, SPORT
and SPORT+, depending on equipment) first
and foremost in the fuel consumption history in
the Control Display. This shows that the ECO
PRO mode leads to a calmer driving style. You
accelerate more gently, and drive with better
anticipation.
In the Control Display,
drivers can view the fuel
consumption history of the
last 15 minutes, in the form
of a bar chart.

BMW and the environment.
BMW is a strong proponent of the environment and social responsibility. We launched
BMW EfficientDynamics back in 2000 - the philosophy of providing greater power with
increased efficiency and fewer emissions. This has resulted in significant benefits today
—for our customers, the climate and the environment.
That year, ecological sustainability was also declared one of BMWs core strategic
principles; it is now firmly anchored in our entire production chain. It starts with the
development of fuel-saving and alternative vehicle concepts, continues with environmentally friendly production processes, and ends with innovative recycling methods.
This effort has been recognized worldwide; in 1999, BMW AG - the parent company
of BMW of North America and BMW Manufacturing Co. in Spartanburg, SC - was the
first automotive company to be represented on the Dow Jones Sustainability Group
Index. It has remained on the Index ever since; moreover, since 2005, BMW has been
voted the world’s most sustainable automobile manufacturer. At BMW, we strive for
and achieve high performance in all we do.
