VISIONS ANDREALITY.The art of making the impossible possible.

At the IAA , BMW CEO Norbert Reithofer cruised onto the

press conference podium in a -year-old BMW Roadster,

parking it right alongside the futuristic BMW Vision EfcientDynamics

concept car. Two very different vehicles sharing the same vision. The

hundreds of visitors who ocked to the BMW stand recognised

at a glance the two sports cars common traits of dynamism and

driving pleasure.

The BMW dominated motorsports in the s; an open-top

roadster, it was simply lighter and faster than its competitors. The

BMW Vision EfcientDynamics concept car meanwhile represents

where BMW is heading. Exceptionally light, extremely fast and

surprisingly efcient, it promises to deliver greater dynamism than

concepts from other manufacturers. At the same time, this pioneering

concept car combines compact-level emissions ( grams CO/km) with

the performance of a thoroughbred sports car ( hp, km/h

in . s). No other vehicle today demonstrates so clearly that it is

possible to increase sustainability and driving pleasure at one and the

same time. The concept car is thus impressive proof of the potential

for efciency that BMW EfcientDynamics represents.

The EfcientDynamics package of technologies has already given

BMW a denite edge over its competitors. No other manufacturer

has reduced CO

emissions across their entire eet so sustainably

from to while at the same time making their driving

dynamics so tangibly more enjoyable.

the world: for the second time in a row

they have crowned it International

Engine of the Year. In the la test

BMW petrol engines.

JOY BRINGS FORTH PERFORMANCE

OUT OF THIN AIR.

Performance, power delivery and high revving distinguish each and every BMW engine.

And all our engines are entirely shaped by the BMW EfcientDynamics philosophy which

aims at generating more power from less fuel.

This goal is achieved in a number of ways: in induction engines, the combustion chamber

is only partially lled with the fuel/air mix, particularly in the partial load range, so the engine

runs even more efciently. Engines featuring High Precision Injection have injectors that are

positioned right next to the spark plugs and inject tiny amounts of petrol into the combustion

chamber up to times in just a fraction of a second. This ultra-precise dosage ensures

optimal combustion, leading to maximum efciency and low emission values. Constant

revisions and innovations mean that these engines will always lead where others follow

in power, in efciency, and in economy.Our very latest contender is BMW TwinPower Turbo technology, which, in the latest six-

cylinder in-line petrol engines combines systems such as a TwinScroll turbocharger,

Valvetronic fully variable valve control and High Precision Injection, again resulting in an

impressive combination of increased power and reduced fuel consumption.

www.bmw.com/petrolengines

With High Precision Injection a small cloud of combustible mixture is injected precisely ontothe spark, in contrast to conventional injection (shown left). The rest of the combustion chamber

is lled primarily with air. The result is tangible: this lean combustion ensures signicantlyreduced consumption.

BMW diesel engines.

EFFICIENCY, DYNAMISM, DIESEL IT HAS TO BE BMW.BMW diesel engines are a pinnacle of engineering achievement. Extremely economical,

extremely powerful and extremely smooth, they are a particularly impressive embodiment of

the BMW EfcientDynamics philosophy, featuring on the one hand aluminium lightweight

construction as standard, and on the other uniting a host of innovative technologies. The latest

generation common rail injection is just one example. Generating up to bar whatever the

engine speed or amount of fuel being injected, the high injection pressure guarantees optimum

and efcient carburetion and combustion. This ultimately means impressively reduced

consumption right alongside BMWs characteristic engine torque, delivering a perceptibleboost to the overall driving experience.

Additionally, multiple pre-injections of minimal amounts of fuel help ensure that the engines run

exceptionally quietly and smoothly. With a particle lter as standard, most BMW diesel engines

already meet EU emission standards.

www.bmw.com/dieselengines

With new-generation common railinjection the amount of fuel required isinjected into the combustion chamber more

precisely and accurately than ever before. So

consumption and emissions are considerably

reduced, while engine performance,

renement and efciency are signicantly

escalated.

AHEAD OF FUTURE ENVIRONMENTAL

REGULATIONS.

BMW engineers not only take responsibility, they are driven by their dedication. For example in the

issue of reducing pollutants, their research has resulted in the development of BMW BluePerformance

technology for new diesel engines. This feature reduces the nitric oxides that every diesel engine

generates to a minimum.

In an additional storage catalytic convertor coated in precious metals including platinum and

palladium, a catalysis is triggered to store pollutants in the system. By running the engine on a

higher proportion of fuel for a short time the nitric oxides can be completely combusted. This means

that the EU emissions standard is already met in several BMW models even though its only due

to come into force in .*

Auto Start/Stop function.

THE FINE ART OFSWITCHING OFF.When the engine is switched off it neither consumes fuel nor produces emissions. A simple

principle that is at the heart of the Auto Start/Stop function, whereby the engine shuts itself

down as soon as the vehicle comes to a standstill and the driver dips the clutch and shifts into

neutral for example at trafc lights or in a jam. The engine restarts as soon as pressure is

reapplied to the clutch.

Especially in urban driving the Auto Start/Stop function makes use of even the briefest pauses to

save fuel. It is tted in almost all BMW four-cylinder engines with six-speed manual transmissions.

www.bmw.com/autostartstop

The Auto Start/Stop function symbol inthe Info Display shows when the engine has

been switched off to save you fuel. The engine

restarts as soon as you press the clutch again.

Air vent control.

JOY MAKES RESISTANCE

FUTILE.

Many athletes nowadays wear skin-tight gear that is designed to reduce drag. And for cars

too, aerodynamics are key to ensuring the vehicles motion is as energy efcient as possible.

Aerodynamic drag can be reduced by the overall shape of the car but also by features such as

the new air vent control, found in many BMW models, which reduces aerodynamic drag

especially at high speeds by closing the air vents in front of the radiator. The function is activated

in response to the driving situation and the temperature of the engine. The engine management

system continuously monitors whether the engine requires cooling air, and opens or closes

the vents accordingly. This has two gratifying effects: a shorter engine warm-up phase and

reduced fuel consumption.

www.bmw.com/airventcontrol

When the air vents are closed, air ows

are directed smoothly along the length of the

car, improving aerodynamics and reducing

consumption.

Intelligent lightweight construction.

LESS WEIGHT.MORE PLEASURE.The amount of weight to be m oved corresponds directly to the amount of energy required to

move it. Ever since the s BMW has incorporated this insight into vehicle construction,

continually rening it. One question that perpetually confronts our engineers is: where exactly

would a reduction in weight make sense and where not? The answer lies in intelligent

lightweight construction. This includes targeted use of ultra-light materials such as aluminium

and magnesium such as in the chassis, or the crankcase of the new six-cylinder in-line engines.

The positive effects of BMWs intelligent lightweight construction are manifest: less fuel

consumption and increased driving dynamics. These developments have also led to a signicant

increase in safety a fact that speaks volumes for the creative innovation that BMW engineers

are capable of. In sum: the weight reduction achieved by intelligent lightweight construction

means youll experience even greater driving pleasure.

www.bmw.com/lightweightconstruction

Ultra-light materials such as aluminium,when intelligently utilised, reduce weight and

fuel consumption.

Brake Energy Regeneration.

FULL OF ENERGY. EVEN WHEN BRAKING.

Tyres with reduced rolling-resistance.

LESS FRICTION.

LESS FUEL CONSUMPTION.

Every time you brake, you release kinetic energy energy which for a long time was not

capitalised upon by vehicle design. Brake Energy Regeneration uses this previously wasted

potential to reclaim electricity from the momentum produced when the driver takes their foot

off the accelerator or brakes. This power is then used to recharge the battery. This intelligent

energy management system frees up the generator and makes permanent running of the

alternator redundant. As a result, fuel consumption is reduced and performance increased

the essence of the BMW EfcientDynamics philosophy.

www.bmw.com/brakeenergyregeneration

While the car is in motion, the tyres are constantly changing shape, using up energy and fuel.

Thats why BMW uses tyres with reduced rolling-resistance. Optimised tyre construction

combined with the use of special materials in the road treads and side walls minimises

deformation, or exing, thereby reducing fuel consumption.

www.bmw.com/tyres

Traditionally the engine supplies the batterywith electrical energy consuming fuel in the

process.

In a BMW the battery is mostly rechargedusing kinetic energy.

Optimum Shift Indicator.

JOY TAKES ITUP A GEAR.Pleasure is always one step ahead. Thats why BMW is always keen to surge ahead in developing

environmentally-friendly technologies. The Optimum Shift Indicator is a prime example. It determines

the optimal moment to change gears and indicates the most appropriate gear in the drivers direct

line of vision. So you can enjoy your drive even m ore, without unnecessarily driving up your fuel

consumption.

As is characteristic of BMW, the system works intelligently for example recognising the powerful

acceleration needed when overtaking and adjusting its recommendations to suit the higher speed.

www.bmw.com/optimumshiftindicator

The Optimum Shift Indicator makes it easyto save fuel: a symbol indicates the most

efcient gear for the current driving situation.

Electric Power Steering.

STEERTOWARD EFFICIENCY.Every turn of the steering wheel requires energy. But why should energy be used when the

wheel isnt turning? Thats why BMW electric p ower steering is only active when its needed.

In contrast to conventional hydraulic steering systems, this BMW solution only uses energy

while an actual steering manoeu vre is underway. W hen the steering wheel is static for example

when driving at high speed along the motorway the electronic motor is inactive.

www.bmw.com/powersteering

. When the steering wheel is static noenergy is expended.

. The electric engine is only activatedwhen the steering wheel is turned.

Researching and developing sustainable solutions.

THE BMW CONCEPT.BMW is currently considered a frontrunner

amongst car manufacturers in terms of

dynamism, efciency and sustainability. This

leading position is the result of decades of

research and thousands of inventions. And

nowhere is this achievement more patent than

in the BMW Museum, reopened in . The

ligree skeleton of the BMW Roadster is

mounted in the House of Technology like

a work of art. Designed in , this spectacularconstruction has a load-bearing framework

presciently made entirely of magnesium and

weighing just kilograms. Even then, BMW

saw lightweight construction as a key factor

in ensuring efciency and athleticism.

Many such innovations never come to light, but

at the BMW Museum engineering ingenuity is

given the pre-eminence it deserves. In the House

of the Series visitors come face to face with the

gleaming V engine of the BMW . In , this

engine was revolutionary it was the rst mass-produced engine ever to have a cylinder block

and cylinder heads in lightweight metal. Another

exhibition hall a veritable engineering hall of

fame showcases a series of engines that each

represent the very best of their generation. The

exhibits from the s are particularly strong on

consumption-reducing innovations: saw the

rst four valve six-cylinder in the BMW . CSL,in the rst ever petrol injection system was

introduced, followed a year later by the rst car to

feature an integrated overrun cut-off in the shape ofthe BMW . Si where the electronics took over to

interrupt fuel supply each time the vehicle began to

coast without acceleration.

Now this function is a matter of course. Back

then, however, it was a pioneering achievement

by BMW. On the third platform along in the

museums central wing a very special automobile

awaits: a remarkably early prototype for an

electric vehicle with low environmental impact.

Debuted in , the BMW E anticipated issuesthat are still highly relevant today. One novel

feature on the E was its capability to switch

between electrical power, hybrid drive or

a combustion engine. The only thing that

prevented it from going into serial production

at the time was a battery technology that was

not yet fully perfected, so BMW concentrated

for the time being on producing increasingly

economical combustion engines. The

innovations that followed are still present in

constantly rened form in todays BMW models.

Right next to the BMW Museum

is BMW World, where the range of

vehicles on display demonstrates

BMW engineers achievements

in the elds of sustainability,

efciency and driving pleasure.

Almost every vehicle on show is

the best in its class. No other

manufacturer offers such animpressive combination of low

fuel consumption and superior

driving characteristics. As of

spring , BMW models

emit no more than grams

of CO

per kilometre driven

models come in at under gram s. Over

the last years the BMW Group has managed

to reduce CO

emissions from its vehicles by

more than percent, and a further percent

cut is planned by , to be achieved partly

by implementing electric vehicles. A host

of independent studies have recognised the

ingenuity and foresight that have gone into

BMW EfcientDynamics. The Dow Jones

Sustainability Index has recognised the

achievement ve years in a row. Such gures

are further proof that no other brand is more

sparing with valuable resources. The technologies

behind BMW EfcientDynamics are illustrated

by a wealth of exhibits and animations in

BMW World. Take, for example, the BMW

TwinPower Turbo, the Valvetronic fully variablevalve control for petrol engines, or the remarkable

innovations of Variable Twin Turbo technology for diesel, which all contribute to increasedefciency in combustion engines. The innovative BMW ActiveHybrid drive, already available

in the X and in the Series, is a way forward for the future. It features a system of integrated

combustion and electric engines that are automatically activated as best suits the changing

situation on the road. The p roportion of the total mechanical power produced by each of

the two engines is continuously variable. The two-mode system in the ActiveHybrid X

stands out from conventional hybrid drives by offering not only a considerable reduction in

fuel consumption but also powerful dynamism to make driving that much more enjoyable.

So what will the future bring? As the BMW Vision EfcientDynamics concept car proves,

BMW has many more developments up its sleeve in the elds of EfcientDynamics,

ActiveHybrid, ActiveE and hydrogen technology. With a constant supply of new ideas and

technical breakthroughs, the problems of energy consumption and emissions will one day

be entirely settled. Until then BMW will continue to prove that its easy to embrace new

ways of thinking as long as more economical driving also means more driving pleasure.

Impressive evidence of this is provided by the . million BMW cars with EfcientDynamics

technology that were sold between and spring . Every single car, as well as

programs such as the EfcientDynamics driver training, inspires greater environmental

responsibility and palpably increase driving pleasure. The training teaches drivers how

to get the very best out of the top technologies featured in pioneering BMW vehicles.

BMW ActiveHybrid.

REDUCES EMISSIONS.

INCREASES DRIVING PLEASURE.

One way to achieve a reduction in fuel

consumption and consequently to lower

emissions is hybrid technology. But its

only when this technology is embodied in

a BMW that it also means more driving

pleasure.

In engine development a hybrid is the

combination of two different drive concepts:

usually a combustion engine and an electric

motor. BMWs own hybrid technology, called

BMW ActiveHybrid, adds to this combination

another vital element: sheer driving pleasure.

Attuned precisely to every model, each vehicleconcept is tted with the best suited hybrid

components from our Best of Hybrid

modular system.

In the new BMW ActiveHybrid X BMW has

combined the worlds rst Sports Activity

Coup with fully hybrid technology, promising

an exceptional driving experience with greatly

increased efciency at the same time. It all

centres on a two-mode active transmission

that can intelligently vary the interaction of the

two electric motors and the combustion

engine to suit the vehicles changing speed

and load. The new BMW X ActiveHybrid

always makes best use of the two options at

hand: it can be operated either on %

electric power, or only with power from the

combustion engine, or using a combination

of the two drive forms. Consumption and

emissions are thus reduced by up to %

accompanied by a perceptible boost to the

vehicles dynamism.

A hybrid model of the BMW agship Series

is now also in serial production the

BMW ActiveHybrid . In these models

BMW has achieved a high-level of everyday

practicality combined with a dynamism

unsurpassed by the competition, and an

increase in efciency of up to %. For the

rst time, innovative technologies ensure

that electrical functions such as the air

conditioning are maintained even when

the combustion engine is switched off

(stationary cooling).

So its not surprising that both these hybridmodels ActiveHybrid X and ActiveHybrid

deliver the best consumption values in the

segment. The BMW Concept Series

ActiveHybrid shows just how far-thinking a

pleasure-oriented approach can be. This

concept car can travel even long distances in

electric-only mode, producing no emissions.

A forward-looking energy management

system switches into this mode automatically:

it monitors the navigation route, situational

vehicle data and route prole to calculate the

most effective way to combine the electric

motor and the combustion engine.

to recongure the entire

lifecycle of the vehicle.

ELECTRIFYING

TIMES.

What is project i? We are currently developinga vehicle to meet the specic challenges of therapidly growing megacities. The product itself,however, is only one aspect of our work. Theproject leaves scope for blue-sky thinking to plannew product processes, sales models, vehicleconcepts and mobility packages.

What details about the vehicle are known? Anelectric motor is a great advantage in a citycar: plenty of energy can be regenerated frombraking, and the average distances driven areshort. Customers experiences with the MINI Eshow that an everyday range of km is perceivedas perfectly adequate. And a city-based vehicledenitely needs four seats and a decent-sizedluggage compartment. Additionally, a BMW Groupvehicle has to be top-of-the-range in every aspect:

in the driving experience, in quality, in safety andin networking.

What exactly is meant by networking? A carthat is to be used mainly in cities should ideallyfeature trafc guidance systems and be able tocommunicate with the infrastructure. Its intelligentnavigation system will as a matterof course not onlylocate the nearest available charging station but willalso be able to reserve it foryoure stimated time ofarrival. The driver can check the current battery levelorthe loc ation of the nearest charging station viamobile phone. And it will be possible to activate theheating and airc onditioning systems the same way.With ourBMW Concept ActiveE concept carwehave already shown what this kind of smartphoneapplication could look like.

What kind of EfcientDynamics doesproject i involve? EfcientDynamicsdemonstrates BMWs capacity to meet thechallenges of the future. Its our proof thatreduced consumption does not have to mean aless enjoyable driving experience and the sameapplies to project i.New developments in EfcientDynamics are beingworked on all the time, and we will of course adoptall its suitable technologies in our products too.

Youre driving along, enjoying classic BMW

dynamism and the only thing coming out

element was added to on-road dynamism. After

decades of intensive research, BMW presented

the worlds rst every-day luxury saloon powered

by water: the BMW Hydrogen . It is built around

a combustion engine that can switch on demand

between petrol mode and hydrogen power.

One solution is carbon bre-reinforcedpolymer (CRP) a high-tech material mostly usedtill now in motor racing and in aviation. We arecollaborating with a partner company to developspecial CRP products for the a utomotiveindustry.

Do customers expect BMW-level drivingcharacteristics even in an urban electricvehicle?We know that customers appreciategood driving dynamics and plenty of agility evenin city driving. And these characteristics are partof the BMW brand promise. Customers even ratethe quiet acceleration possible with ourelectric

motoras particularly impressive.

Sustainability is a key consideration inproject i. What aspects are you focussing on?We are examining the issue of sustainability atevery single stage: the supplierchain, production,transport, materials, recycling, sales and logistics.We have the opportunity to recongure the entirelifecycle of the vehicle. For example, how to structurethe manufacturing process with an eye to theefcient use of energy at every stage, and how toavoid particularly energy-intensive processes.

Can you make any predictions about theprice? We do of course have some idea ofwhat a car like this can cost, but its unrealisticto determine a price at this stage. The mostexpensive component is the battery and itsenergy management. And here were just startingout with new technologies where we need tocalculate their prices according to the appropriatequantities.
