The haze has dispersed and the midday sun beats down from a blue sky. Hot air shimmering over the asphalt makes the dazzlingly chic Miami skyline dance on the horizon. The day is radiant and a soft breeze blows in from the Keys. All is tranquil.
But all this is about to change. A sound, barely perceptible in the distance a moment ago, is now rising in pitch and closing in at speed. It is the surging expression of accelerating engines, changing and charging the atmosphere at a stroke. It is the sound of two Vs accelerating through the gears. As the engines thunder, two arrow-shaped bodies sweep into view. Their speed and elegance is thrilling, beautiful. It’s
impossible to look away. No one can resist the surge of excitement. It’s a fl ying start, a demonstration of power and luxury in the form of two performance icons: the BMW M Coupé and Convertible.

These two top athletes are powered by the BMW M TwinPower Turbo eight-cylinder petrol engine with torque of up to Nm and output of kW (hp). This peak performance accelerates the BMW M Coupé from to km/h in just . seconds and the BMW M Convertible in . seconds. There’s also the guarantee of formidable pulling power and, therefore, instant responses from the very fi rst touch of the accelerator right through to the uppermost engine speeds. All this power, of course, requires particularly deft control. Which is where the M high-performance chassis comes in. This ensures precise handling as well as rewardingly authentic road-feel. At the same time, the newly developed Active M
Differential ensures maximum traction and composure in every driving situation. Just as impressive is the optional M Carbon Ceramic Brake System. This offers optimum safety and precision, even in the toughest conditions. Welcome to a new performance dimension.

Light but purposeful pressure on the accelerator triggers a chain reaction – the rising rev counter needle, the force of gravity, the level of adrenaline. The BMW M Coupé is ready to overtake.
THE RULES OF PHYSICS.MADE TO BE BROKEN.
Thanks to BMW EfficientDynamics,
the BMW M consumes an average
of . litres of fuel per km in
Coupé form, with the Convertible
using . litres. It’s a special
performance-to-consumption
relationship.
The seven-speed
M Double Clutch transmission
with Drivelogic can be
shifted using the paddles,
and you don’t need to take
your foot off the accelerator,
for an even sportier driving
experience.
A VOCAL PERFORMANCE THAT LEAVES YOU SPEECHLESS.
On the th Street Bridge, the unmistakably sonorous voice of the V engine is briefl y interrupted by a blip of the throttle. Acoustic fi reworks immediately follow, rapidly increasing in pitch and intensity.
The rich sound of the BMW TwinPower Turbo eight-cylinder petrol engine is testament to its impressive power which is, in turn, transformed with optimum precision into thrilling forward thrust by the seven-speed M Double Clutch transmission with Drivelogic. Gear shifts are lightning-fast and although clearly audible to the driver, they are also scarcely noticeable – evidence that this transmission guarantees uninterrupted propulsion with no loss of tractive force. You can refi ne this thrilling experience according to preference with the two freely confi gurable M Drive settings on the M leather steering wheel. This allows you to adapt vehicle characteristics at will, from heightened motor sport dynamics to long-distance comfort. Whatever mode you prefer, the two twin tailpipes ensure that the performance of the BMW M makes every drive an unrivalled experience for your ears.

AERODYNAMIC EXCELLENCE.
OVERWHELMING ELEGANCE.
The fi ne colour pigments of the paintwork sparkle in the sunlight and refl ections stream over the car’s surfaces. The sharply defi ned silhouette of the BMW M Convertible seems to cleave through the air, making every head turn.
The all-conquering presence of the BMW M Convertible makes one thing absolutely clear – this car has fi rst-class genes. You see it in the long, sleek bonnet, the M-typical gills and the aerodynamically optimised M wing mirrors. It’s also there in the bold side sills and the enhanced presence that comes with its impressively sculpted rear profi le. This is an imposing design that fuses the elegance of a classic two-door sports car with the distinctive details of BMW M. The paintwork in San Marino Blue metallic accentuates the brilliance.
Overall, the perfect synthesis of aesthetic superiority, high-performance and luxury results in breathtaking driving pleasure under the open skies. As for the boldly sensuous lines of the BMW M Convertible, they have just one aim. To cut through the air – beautifully.

Exterior14 15
The purposeful front lies low over the black asphalt as the car sprints with unrelenting pace along the Alton Road. The BMW M Coupé is on the home stretch.
Adaptive LED headlights focus their concentrated gaze on the road. The M logo, framed in the M-specifi c kidney grille with double bars in high-gloss black, leaves absolutely no doubt concerning the identity of this top athlete. Large air inlets in the striking front apron appear hungry for air to ventilate the engine. Muscular wheel arches make room for the wide track of the M high-performance chassis, while enveloping the M light alloy wheels. At the rear, a diffuser and M spoiler, specially designed for the M Coupé, further enhance the aerodynamic profi le. It all speaks of the powerful elegance of the BMW M Coupé in the inimitable language of BMW M. And it’s all focused on one goal: maximum performance.
The specially contoured carbon-fibre roof is designed for
optimum aerodynamics. It also reduces weight and lowers
the car’s centre of gravity. Evidently, intelligent lightweight
engineering in the BMW M Coupé is about more than
motor sport looks – it delivers outstanding agility, too.
DESIGN BEYOND

AND PRESTIGE
IN PERFECT
UNITY. TWICE.
The sun sinks over the Watson Island causeway and the heart rate levels out. Moments ago, these elite athletes were performing at their respective peaks; now they are at stylish repose in the evening light. And yet, even when still, their appearance thrills. These automotive icons have compelling strength of character in every situation – making unparalleled performance statements, day or night.

THE CA RBON ROOF OF THE BM W M COUPÉ.
The high-tech black material allows lightweight construction to its full extent – in all the
right places.
A -tonne steel colossus dominates the production fl oor of the BMW Landshut works. The press conceals one of the best-kept secrets in the automotive industry: the highly automated production of carbon components – in this case the roof of the BMW M Coupé.
Carbon is a key technology in future lightweight engineering. The resin-coated weave, made of microscopic carbon fi bres, is half the weight of steel. Using it to reduce the weight in the highest part of the car, the carbon roof of the BMW M, lowers the centre of gravity and enhances driving dynamics. Consequently,
Carbon sheets are delivered on
rollers and layered one on top
of the other (first right). Robots
transport the pre-formed roof
(second right) to the large press
for injection of the resin (below).
the BMW M driver races through bends with greater speed and precision.
The huge press at the heart of the Landshut facility houses the central production process: the high-pressure injection of epoxy resin into the pre-formed roof with its millions of carbon-fi bre fi laments. Only perfection will do because, to achieve the roof’s extraordinary resilience and fl awless surface, the liquid resin must fl ow around every single fi bre down to the last micrometre. Before this crucial process, the roof passes through important steps in the workshop. The raw material, delivered in large bales and automatically unrolled, is stacked in fi ve layers and cut to size. And, to ensure precise alignment at every stage, the fi bres of the individual woven layers run lengthwise, laterally or diagonally. The top layer serves as a visible endpoint. The roof is pre-formed in a heated press with the help of a fast-melting powder, so the fabric layers no longer slip and the roof achieves the correct curvature. The next stage is the combination of the pre-formed roof and the resin in the large press. The stacked carbon roofs are then put into a large oven for further hardening. After four hours at degrees, the roofs are ready for fi nal processing where the carbon surface is given a transparent layer of varnish to protect against ultra-violet light. Finally, the roofs are packed for transporting to the nearby Dingolfi ng works. There they are glued into the painted bodyshells of the BMW M.
The large number of carbon roofs in production is testament to the skills of the Landshut experts in handling one of the most important materials in future car manufacturing. It’s thanks to the expertise gathered here that BMW is today in a position to manufacture entire body shells from carbon.

THE CARBON ROOF IS ABOUT HALF THE WEIGHT OF ITS STEEL EQUIVALENT AND LOWERS THE CENTRE OF GRAVITY.

MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY, MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE.The fi gures say it all: Nm, hp (kW) . seconds from to km/h for the BMW M Coupé (Competition package: .s) and . seconds from to km/h for the BMW M Convertible (Competition package: .s). As a high-revving engine, the M TwinPower Turbo eight-cylinder powerplant in the BMW M Coupé and the BMW M Convertible makes a singularly forceful statement when it comes to performance and acceleration. The combined forces of M-typical linear delivery and enormous thrust from the double turbocharger fully exploit the superb pulling power of the high-performance engine. Two separate and generously dimensioned intercoolers cool the engine, the charge air and the engine electronics while the patented M TwinScroll charging concept ensures extraordinary responsiveness. Huge torque is available across a wide engine speed range, with emphatic forward thrust on tap from just over idle right through to high revs. The engine is spectacularly responsive to the accelerator and the transverse force oil pump ensures optimal lubricant delivery, even during high transversal acceleration. And thanks to the combination of M TwinPower Turbo technology, two TwinScroll turbochargers with Valvetronic, Double-VANOS and High Precision Injection, the engine sets benchmarks when it comes to the performance-to-fuel-consumption ratio. In combination with further BMW Effi cientDynamics measures, such as the Auto Start/Stop function and intelligent alternator control, which charges the battery during overrun, the result is average consumption of only . litres per kilometres for the Coupé and . litres per kilometres for the Convertible. Every metre will be pure pleasure as the seductive M sound emphasises the unique character of these high-performance vehicles.

emissions, please refer to pages | .
M TwinScroll turbocharger with a cross-bank exhaust manifold: the exhaust fl ows from each of two cylinder pairs with a ° fi ring interval are combined and routed along separate channels before reaching the turbine wheels of the turbochargers. This guarantees that gas fl ow is not compromised. It’s a highly effi cient charging concept that leads to optimum energy transfer – and, therefore, extremely spontaneous responsiveness.
Pure racing feel. With the optional Competition package, the performance of the BMW M models is brought to every stretch of road with even greater precision and powerful conviction. The already scintillating output of the M TwinPower Turbo eight-cylinder petrol engine, for instance, has been increased to hp (kW) for the ultimate adrenalin kick. The engineers at BMW M GmbH achieved this by raising the charge pressure in the upper rev range. A modifi ed exhaust system, meanwhile, ensures a powerful engine note with a guaranteed goosebump factor.
Additionally, the characteristics of the Dynamic Damper Control system have been adapted to handle the increased dynamics while the M Dynamic Mode (MDM) settings were even further defi ned. As for the steering, this is even more direct, while providing authentic feedback from the road. The steering ratio, revised by per cent, ensures exceptionally sharp responses to every movement of the wheel. Externally, the BMW M Competition package model impresses with exclusive " M light alloy wheels Double-spoke M, Bicolor, with mixed tyres and the black chrome-plated dual tailpipes of the Sport exhaust system. This much is certain – your pulse rate won’t be getting much of a break.

DEVELOPED ON THE RACE TRACK.BUILT FOR EVERYDAY LIFE.Traditional rules do not apply to exceptional cars like the BMW M Coupé and Convertible. As independent productions of BMW M GmbH, they are faithful to the M philosophy and perfectly combine high performance with optimum, everyday practicality. To fulfi l these high aspirations, the intricately constructed M high-performance chassis has been redeveloped from scratch. Its perfect tuning is the result of tests on the famous Northern Loop of the Nürburgring, the hardest test conditions for high-performance cars. The result: maximum dynamics and agility plus optimum precision and control – all conveyed through fascinatingly authentic driving feel.
Something else that can’t be seen, but can be felt. The Active M Differential on the rear axle ensures outstanding acceleration and guarantees improved traction even on the fastest bends. Here, Dynamic Damper Control also comes into play by adjusting the suspension, according to your preference, in three modes: Comfort, Sport or Sport+. This means you experience familiar roads as new every time. Additionally, the M Drive buttons on the steering wheel offer pre-programmed confi gurations for either a sporty or a comfortable drive. One of these is M Dynamic mode. For a particularly authentic driving experience, it allows the driver to actively exploit longitudinal and lateral dynamics potential. The increased intervention threshold of the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) system means it will only intervene in critical situations.
M Carbon Ceramic Brake System: specially developed for the M models, the brake system offers exceptional performance thanks to extremely high load capacity. The weight-reduced system also has excellent resistance to fade. It be identifi ed by matt gold-painted brake calipers with M logo.

BMW ConnectedDrive32 33
DRIVING ASSISTANT.
Driving Assistant combines the camera-based systems lane departure warning and collision warning. From a speed of approx. km/h, the system draws the driver’s attention to an unintentional lane change by means of slight vibrations in the steering wheel. Collision warning detects cars ahead and warns of an imminent risk of collision. Pedestrians are detected too, so the driver is warned of a potential collision and if necessary the brakes are applied.
BMW NIGHT VISION.
An optional infrared camera in the double kidney grille detects people and animals up to a distance of metres, displaying images on the Control Display. Pedestrian recognition also gives a visual warning to indicate if people are moving close to the road, up to a distance of metres ahead. This means that the driver can recognise potential danger signifi cantly earlier and react more quickly. The new Acute Warning system helps in imminently critical situations, thereby offering even greater safety.
BMW HEAD-UP DISPLAY.
The full-colour Head-Up Display uses a multi-colour TFT display to project important driving information onto the windscreen in the driver’s direct fi eld of vision. In this way, it ensures that focus always stays on the road ahead, making driving safer. Information includes road speed and navigation instructions while the availability of more colours makes it easy to distinguish general driving information such as speed limits from warnings such as “pedestrian on the road” (optional with BMW Night Vision). Additionally, the M-specifi c display, along with other features, indicates optimum gear shift times.
PARK ASSISTANT.
This optional driver assistance system makes parallel parking easier. When travelling at speeds below km/h, the system measures any parking gaps the vehicle passes. When a big enough gap has been found, the Park Assistant will do the steering, while the driver continues to operate the accelerator and brake pedals – supported by acoustic signals and instructions in the Control Display.
ACTIVE PROTECTION.
Active Protection consists of safety components for the automobile. In critical situations, safety belts are pretensioned, seats returned to the upright position and windows closed, for example. After an accident occurs, the system is able to brake the automobile automatically until stationary. In addition, the Attentiveness Assistant monitors the driver’s steering behaviour for signs of fatigue and notifi es the driver via the Control Display.
SPEED LIMIT INFO –
THE SPEED LIMIT IS RIGHT WHERE YOU NEED IT – WITHIN VIEW.
This optional system shows the applicable speed limits in the instrument cluster or the BMW Head-up Display. A special camera registers the relevant traffi c signs and a control unit processes the information, together with navigation data. Other features, such as the car’s rain sensor, are also used. This means that the system can even inform the driver about variable speed limits in, for example, wet conditions.

BMW Individual. The most exclusive way to drive a BMW.
Optional equipment
True exclusivity is defi ned by the very highest standards:
those that the most discerning set for themselves.
BMW Individual allows you to realise these standards
in the car you drive.
Inspired by precious stones, BMW Individual paint finishes shine with their
unique interplay of colours, while myriad pigments give surfaces a three-dimensional
depth that fills them with life. On the BMW M Convertible, the BMW Individual
paint finish Citrine Black seems to glow with its fascinating and shimmering
hues. Indeed, it looks as if particles of fine gold are rising from the deep olive
black to glisten on the surface. With the BMW M Coupé, the BMW Individual
paint finish Brilliant White also has a radiance and intensity of its own. This effect
is caused by two additional layers of paint, applied in an elaborate and exacting
process. As for the upholstery, its outstanding quality is a pleasure for the senses.
The palpably fine structure and velvet-soft, breathable surface of the fine-grain
BMW Individual Merino leather is the result of extremely meticulous selection
and processing. For instance, we do not make use of artificial embossing
or surface treatments. This is the only way to maintain the leather just as nature
created it. The individuality of the colour spectrum available is revealed by the
examples shown here. The Opal White takes its inspiration from elegant yachts,
imparting a sense of Mediterranean luxury which is elegantly contrasted with
the BMW Individual Piano Black interior trim. This highly polished finish requires
a degree of craftsmanship usually reserved for piano lacquering.
In the BMW M Convertible, the leather in Amaro Brown is a perfect match for
the BMW Individual interior trim in Ash Grain White. This highly distinctive fine
wood is selected by hand and fascinates with its marbled grain patterning.

The BMW Service concept: always up to speed. When you buy a BMW,
you can look forward to superb service and comprehensive customer care, with
a worldwide network of more than , BMW Service partners in more than
countries ready to assist you at any time. The vehicle’s on-board diagnostics
keep you informed of when the car is next due for a check-up and what work
needs to be done: Condition Based Service (CBS) tracks service fl uids and
the condition of essential parts subject to wear. It also monitors the time- and
mileage-linked service requirements of your BMW. Using these measurement
data, the Info Display in the cockpit automatically alerts you in advance whenever
any part of the vehicle requires servicing. The iDrive Control Display contains
exact information on which vehicle components will need to be serviced and
when. In conjunction with BMW TeleServices*, the innovative telematics service
provided by BMW Service, the CBS data are automatically transmitted to your
BMW Service partner. This means that your service consultant has more time for
you, and can provide more comprehensive advice. Your BMW Service partner will
of course have Original BMW Parts available for any work to be done. In short:
quality and safety are our top priorities.
TAILOR-MADE FOR YOUR VEHICLE. BMW SERVICE.
With BMW Service Inclusive*,
you’ll no longer need to worry about
the costs involved in maintaining your
BMW and replacing worn-out parts.
A one-off payment covers all kinds of
BMW Service assistance, including
Original BMW Parts – worldwide, at all
participating BMW Service partners.
With BMW Service Inclusive, you can
specify a contract duration and choose
different levels of service.
The advantages:
· Total cost transparency.
· No price increase over the agreed
duration.
· Time-saving automated processes.
· Flexible duration, mileage and service
level.
· Entirely transferable to the next owner.
· Mileage, duration and service level
can be optionally upgraded at any
time.
The BMW Service Inclusive packages
are available from your BMW Service
partner, at a price that is signifi cantly
lower than buying each service
individually. For more information visit
www.bmw.com/serviceinclusive
* May not be available in all countries.
Please consult your BMW partner.
With BMW TeleServices*, you are
always in safe hands. This feature
enables your BMW to contact your
BMW Service partner and register
itself for a service appointment. As
soon as the CBS sensors detect a
service requirement, the vehicle will
initiate an automatic BMW Teleservice
call and transmit all service-related
data – which previously had to be
collected in the workshop. Your service
consultant will then call you back to
arrange an appointment. As vehicle
information is transferred in advance,
time in the workshop can be spent
more effi ciently, and your BMW will
be back on the road more quickly.
In the unlikely event of a breakdown,
BMW Teleservice Diagnosis enables
you to transmit vehicle and location
data directly to BMW breakdown
assistance. With BMW Teleservice
Assistance, malfunctions can often
be remedied remotely, getting you
back on the road in no time. For further
information, visit
www.bmw.com/teleservices
Mobile Service*: in the event of a
breakdown, BMW Mobile Service is

engine oil service performed by your
authorised BMW Service partner –
for up to fi ve years after initial vehicle
registration. More detailed information
is available from your BMW Service
partner or online at
www.bmw.com/mobileservice
