The measure of any BMW is its ability to inspire joy – not only for drivers but for passengers, as well. In this respect, the Series Gran Turismo excels.
With an elongated platform that hearkens to BMW’s most luxurious, class-leading sedans, you’ll nd no shortage of legroom throughout the cabin.
Likewise, headroom is generous, the comfort amplifi ed by the two-piece Panoramic moonroof that opens up to offer an invigorating dose of fresh air
and sunlight while driving. And for maximum traveling exibility, multiple rear-seat folding and sliding combinations give you new levels of convenience
when it comes to both passengers and cargo.

AN OPEN INVITATION
TO ESCAPE MEDIOCRITY.
The exterior of the Series Gran Turismo is an outstanding interpretation of BMW styling, from its muscular contours
to the freely interpreted L-shape rear taillight clusters. The phrase “gran turismo” denotes a high-performance vehicle
with far more interior space than a pure-bred sports car. Adhering to this concept, the Series Gran Turismo balances
its impressive performance with an emphasis on passenger comfort – especially luxurious appointments, roominess
and exibility of space. When you enter the cabin, you encounter a world of choice leather upholstery, exquisite trims
and the plentiful natural light of a Panoramic moonroof as well as large frameless rear windows – a BMW design rst.

BMW EFFICIENT DYNAMICS: THE BMW SERIES GRAN TURISMO’S
VEHICLES THAT REQUIRE LITTLE AND GIVE A LOT. EFFICIENT DYNAMICS INITIATIVE AT A GLANCE.
BMW was one of the rst automotive manufacturers to pursue effi cient driving technologies – one part of our award-winning sustainability strategy. Our commitment to Effi cientDynamics means
we are continuously developing innovative systems that bring us closer to our long-term goal of emissions-free mobility. However, we remain equally committed to driving pleasure, which is being
pursued in different ways. First, there is the continuing optimization of conventional diesel- and gasoline-powered models. Second, BMW hybrid vehicles are already on the road. Third, the rst
% electrically powered BMW – the BMW ActiveE – is being distributed in a eld trial to customers. And fourth, the eet of BMW Hydrogen vehicles impressively demonstrated the potential for
combining hydrogen drive with a combustion engine.
Since BMW has been able to reduce the CO emissions of its entire eet by approximately percent. BMW has rolled out more than two million vehicles equipped with Effi cientDynamics:
models already produce less than g of CO per mile, and BMW intends to achieve a further percent reduction by . BMW Effi cientDynamics represents the most comprehensive
package of innovative technologies currently in production, for reducing fuel consumption and emissions while simultaneously creating The Ultimate Driving Machine.®
Different paths to the same destination: unmistakable BMW driving pleasure.
In early BMW launched its rst production models with hybrid drive: the BMW ActiveHybrid and the BMW ActiveHybrid X. Both models offer an unparalleled combination of increased fuel
effi ciency, reduced emissions and thrilling performance. The BMW ActiveE, with its innovative % electric drive system, will introduce a whole new form of dynamic performance, paving the way
for the future of emissions-free mobility. Finally, a completely new vehicle concept targeted at meeting the need for sustainable mobility in fast-growing metropolitan areas will soon become reality:

Safety |
A BMW HELPS YOU EXTEND YOUR SENSES – AND YOUR DEFENSES.
At BMW, there are two types of safety engineering. There are active safety features, like a BMW’s quick acceleration, agile handling and massive fade-resistant brakes, which help you avoid
accidents. Driving aids, such as Night Vision with Pedestrian Detection, and Active Blind Spot Detection, also help alert you to potential dangers that you might not otherwise see. BMWs also
offer passive safety features, like safety belts, airbags and Active Head Restraints, which help protect you in case an accident cannot be avoided. And it’s reassuring to know that, should an
impact occur, your BMW can even summon assistance and provide easy access to emergency aid workers. At BMW, safety engineering also comes under the category of “high performance.”

BMW and the environment.
BMW is a strong proponent of the environment and social responsibility. We launched BMW Effi cientDynamics
back in 2000 – the philosophy of providing greater power with increased effi ciency and fewer emissions. This
has resulted in signifi cant benefi ts today – for our customers, the climate and the environment.
That year, ecological sustainability was also declared one of BMW’s core strategic principles; it is now rmly
anchored in our entire production chain. It starts with the development of fuel-saving and alternative vehicle
concepts, continues with environ mentally 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 rst automotive company to be
represented on the Dow Jones Sustainability Group Index. It has remained on the Index ever since; moreover,
for the last six years, BMW has been voted the world’s most sustainable automobile manufacturer. At BMW,
we strive for and achieve high performance in all we do.
