FROM REVOLUTIONARY
BEGINNINGS, RIGHT TO
YOUR DRIVEWAY.
Once upon a time, BMW had to prove ourselves to America. We introduced a vehicle that would
deliver a driving experience that was not only uniquely exhilarating, but revolutionary: the ti.
Today, the BMW Series Coupe brings back that same formula, but updated for modern times –
and modern drivers. Instantly identifiable while full of surprises, the Series Coupe puts the
thrills of the road back in the hands of those behind the wheel, with a host of innovative driving
technologies and conveniences. Yet for all its advances, at heart the Series Coupe is a pure,
simple and supremely satisfying vehicle that perfectly captures the best of BMW.

THE SERIES COUPE:
INTENSIFYING GREAT.
It starts with a winning foundation.
Hailed as a popular and critical favorite upon its U.S. debut, the Series
perfectly captured the spirit of BMW with a simple yet powerful formula.
When creating the Series Coupe, it was only natural that BMW designers
and engineers would retain what made the original a success: its compact
design, extensive use of lightweight components and addictive power of
high-performance six-cylinder engines. From there, BMW added innovative
features inside and out. For example, light clusters front and rear include
L-shape LED taillights that, like the illuminated “eyebrows” of the front
light assembly, add a distinctive and highly visible accent. Inside, striking
trims and controls lend even more elegance and convenience to the comfortable cabin. Discover how a vehicle that already makes all the right moves
can be transformed into something even better: the Series Coupe.

BRILLIANT, FROM
FRONT TO BACK.
No detail is taken too lightly.
Proof that no element goes unnoticed by our designers: the personality
of the Series Coupe is immediately evident even in the striking light
assemblies at the front and rear. A “concentrated” look is the rst thing
you’ll notice when facing the vehicle head-on. The unique “eyebrow”
design is bolstered by the Xenon Adaptive Headlights with LED accents
that confi dently pierce the night air. Corona headlight-rings add another
BMW signature element. In the rear, L-shape taillights lend a sporty look,
especially when complemented by brilliant LED lighting. The Series
Coupe even adds active safety into this illuminating equation: the Xenon
Adaptive Headlights come equipped with integrated Cornering Lights
that swivel to cast light on every turn, while Adaptive Brakelights
illuminate even more brightly when greater stopping force is used.

offers a visually arresting Alpine White interior trim as an option. This
bright, athletic-looking trim complements the extensive use of galvanized

Barely visible at ground level of the front air dam, the Air Curtain on the BMW i Coupe streams air

wheels, where it creates an “air curtain.” Although it seems a small, simple detail, this innovation reduces
air resistance – which, in turn, leads to an improvement in stability and a reduction in fuel consumption.
It’s a great example of how even unassuming BMW components can have a larger effect.
