A SUMMARY OF
EVERYTHING ON OFFER.
Technical data
BMW Service and
BMW brand highlights
Exclusive offers for BMW customers.
With its power and poise, the new BMW Series is synonymous with
driving pleasure. It represents everything that makes a typical BMW:
sporting ability, elegance, pure aesthetics and pioneering technology.
Its no coincidence that sporting ability comes first in this list. In this,
its sixth generation, its once more the outstanding characteristic
of the BMW Series Sedan, reflected in every detail: an athletic
design with a new, distinctive face. Powertrain concepts that set high
standards for both dynamic performance and fuel economy, thanks
to BMW EfficientDynamics, and innovations such as the full-colour
BMW Head-up Display, part of BMW ConnectedDrive, mark the new
BMW Series Sedan as the clear leader in its segment.
Another fascinating innovation: the BMW Lines Modern, Sport and
Luxury three distinctive design personalities for the exterior and interior.
Within each Line, you can freely choose a number of exclusive equipment
variants to suit your taste. The result is always a perfect, well-balanced
look. In this way, the new BMW Series Sedan exhibits a versatility that
makes it unique.

Editorial
A MODEL
ATHLETE.
Design 06 07
The rst thing you notice about it is its athleticism:
the design of the new BMW Series Sedan.
One thing about the new BMW Series Sedan that
immediately captivates the observers attention is its
low, sporty front. The new link between the round twin
headlights, cut off at the top, and the broad BMW kidney
grille lends the new BMW Series a distinctive
personality.
But it is the sum of all the details the short overhangs,
the long wheelbase, the coup-like roof line and the
characteristic side creases that creates the sporty overall
impression. Decide yourself what you like most about the
design of the new BMW Series just follow your eyes.
THE POWER
OF THE MOMENT.
Design 08 09
The BMW Sport Line enhances the dynamic appeal of the new BMW Series
Sedan: it is distinguished by design elements in high-gloss Black, for example on the
air inlets, the exterior mirrors (optional) and the kidney grille with its eight wide slats.
Sporty light-alloy wheels with double-spoke styling are another characteristic feature.
EACH CHOICE GIVES YOU
AN ADVANTAGE.
Personality: the exterior of the new BMW Lines.
You express your personality every day. That includes the car you drive each day. This is
why the new generation of the BMW Series Sedan adapts its design features to your
individual style. With the BMW Lines Modern, Sport and Luxury, you can choose from
three additional design schemes focused on emphasising one particular attribute of
the new BMW Series. Would you like to underscore the modern, sporty or classic
character of your vehicle? All three BMW Lines are favourites in this race, with the
winner selected by your personal sense of style.
The BMW Modern Line emphasises the timeless, classic design
of the new BMW Series Sedan: the exterior features exclusive
wheels, for example with turbine styling, and design elements in
satinated Aluminium, such as the trim around the air inlets and the
BMW kidney grille slats.
The BMW Luxury Line
emphasises the elegant
character of the new
BMW Series Sedan:
the entire exterior features
design elements in high-
gloss Chrome, for example
on the slender kidney
grille slats and the trim
around the air inlets and
the cars rear. Sophisticated
aluminium wheels with
multi-spoke styling
complete the picture.
Design 10 11
FREEDOM IN DETAIL.
Fascination times three: the interior of the new BMW Lines.
The design of the BMW Series has always epitomised athleticism, modernity and
elegance. These three personality traits can also be found in the interior of the new
BMW Series Sedan. Choose between three BMW Lines and thus between three
different design schemes: Modern, Sport and Luxury. In the interior, which always
harmonises perfectly with the exterior, colours and materials are used to create the specic
character of each BMWLine. This is complemented by a choice of exclusive, perfectly
matched upholstery and interior trim variants. In this way, drivers can individualise the design
according to their personal preferences. Whichever design scheme you choose, the interior
is always marked by harmonious lines and high-quality, innovative materials. The cabin
design also picks up on the sporting appeal of the exterior with clear driver orientation
and exceptional ergonomics.
Balance and contemporary poise are the
distinctive hallmarks of the BMW Modern
Line. These characteristics are reected in
features such as the porous, textured wood
of the Fineline Pure interior trim, which
establishes a fascinating new trend with its
unique look and feel. The instrument panel
and steering wheel come in Oyster dark.
The available upholstery and interior trim
choices harmonise perfectly with this
timeless, contemporary design.
The design scheme of the BMW Sport
Line underscores the sedans sporting
character. In the interior, features such
as red contrasting seams on the leather
steering wheel and the exclusive design of
the instrument dials with red contrasting
rings and red scales add visual appeal.
Red, grey or black accents are found both
on the upholstery, and on the interior trims
and accent trims.
The BMW Luxury Line creates
a luxurious, timeless look. Classic
colours and leather seats with
Exclusive stitching demonstrate a
love of detail. Fine-wood trims
optionally with inlay, a rst in this
class further add to the exclusive
appeal.
Dynamics 12 13
Acceleration and stamina:
engine and transmission technology.
An athletic design, new powerful engines and
impressive efciency the new BMW Series
is a real thoroughbred. Its sporting genes are
apparent on every road, every mile of the way.
The fact that it is also very fuel-efcient makes
the new BMW Series an outstanding vehicle
and, in terms of performance/fuel consumption
ratio, the best in its class.
The new -speed automatic transmission
performs smooth, almost imperceptible gear
shifts. The gear ratios are so tightly spaced
that only a glance at the rev counter reveals just
how fast and silky the gear changes really are.
At any time, in every gear, the transmission
collaborates perfectly with the engine, enabling
it to develop its full power and efciency. The
eighth gear, with its particularly long transmission
ratio, lowers both engine noise and fuel
consumption at high speed. This transmission
maximises the sum of ride comfort and
dynamic ability.
The unique marriage of outstanding power
delivery and superlative efciency is also
the strength of the petrol engines with
BMW TwinPower Turbo technology. This
combines a TwinScroll turbocharger with
Valvetronic, Double-VANOS and High Precision
Injection. An innovative package which, for
example, makes the BMW i TwinPower
Turbo -cylinder petrol engine the best in its
class with a fuel consumption of just . litres
per kilometres, and an output of kW.
Be there live when the exceptional dynamic
performance of the new BMW Series Sedan
turns every drive into a rst-class sporting event.
GEARS FOR LIVE
TRANSMISSION TO
THE ROAD.
Dynamics 14 15
THE FAVOURITE
ON EVERY ROAD.
A question of technology:
chassis and steering.
An athlete in top condition, always ready to
deliver a rst-class performance. One press
on the Start button in the new BMW Series
is enough, and this Sedans ability becomes
apparent.
A big factor contributing to the outstanding
dynamic ability of the new BMW Series
Sedan is its typical BMWrear-wheel drive. Its
this that enables the cars ideal, / front-
rear weight distribution.
The optional adaptive suspension with Dynamic
Damper Control makes for an even sportier set-
up. It is lowered by mm, for maximum agility.
And Driving Experience Control enables you
to decide just how sporty the suspension should
be. You wont have to do without ride comfort,
either, thanks to sensors which control the
damper valves on each individual wheel.
The steering systems in the new BMW Sedan
do an equally good job of combining dynamic
performance with superior handling.
The champion here is the optional Variable Sport
Steering. It reduces steering wheel movements
by up to per cent. This enhances comfort
when parking or turning into a side street, and
also makes for safe and sporty cornering. In
addition, the variable steering ratio enhances
directional stability on long straights. Its time to
take the wheel of the new BMW Series Sedan
yourself, and to turn its power into a unique
driving experience.
Everything in reach: driver orientation.
As soon as you sit down in the Sedans cockpit,
you instinctively know: everything here is in the
right place. Everything serves the needs of the
driver, for optimal ergonomics and intuitive
operation.
Every lever, every button, every display. The result
is a very special interior design that exudes
sporting appeal and unrestricted comfort. This
visual impression is conrmed as soon as you
set off. One function that plays a particularly
important role here is Driving Experience Control.
Its name is a promise that the new BMW Series
Sedan is always happy to deliver. Choose
between the modes ECO PRO, Comfort, Sport
and Sport+ and decide yourself whether you
would like the vehicle to excel in sportiness,
comfort or efciency.
The Sport+ mode is for particularly sporty
driving. It is available in conjunction with the
sport automatic transmission, the Variable Sport
Steering, the adaptive suspension or the Sport
Line. It literally increases dynamic ability: the
chassis, suspension and accelerator response
acquire an even sportier edge, and the steering
becomes more direct. For the sort of dynamic
performance that makes you want to choose a
slightly longer route to your destination. TAKE POLE POSITION.
THE DRIVE OF
PROGRESS.
New technology, new possibilities:
innovations in the new BMW Series
Sedan.
The new BMW Series Sedan is the class
leader in many disciplines. A key part of
this is innovative technologies that make
your drive more entertaining, efcient
and safe. This is what the two technology
packages, BMW ConnectedDrive and
BMWEfcientDynamics are all about. Two
terms that have long become synonymous
with the power of BMW innovation.
AT THE TOP OF
THE LEADER
BOARD
Another favourite in the efciency race is
the BMWActiveHybrid . Thanks to its
intelligent energy management, this full
hybrid for everyday use is the most efcient
way of driving a vehicle with an output of
kW and the only hybrid in its class.
Its another important milestone in the
BMWEfcientDynamics strategy, which
achieves new heights in every new
BMW Series Sedan.
Two goals, one path: BMW EfcientDynamics.
It takes outstanding performance to be recognised as an
exceptional talent, but the new BMW Series will even exceed
your expectations. BMW EfcientDynamics is the key: all new
BMW Series Sedan models impress with their exceptional
fuel economy. What makes this possible is BMW TwinPower
Turbo technology, intelligent lightweight design, Brake Energy
Regeneration and the Auto Start/Stop function, included
as standard. Another highlight is Driving Experience Control
with ECO PRO mode []. This enables a reduction in fuel
consumption by up to per cent
A WINNER ON
EVERY SEAT.
Fit for every day: versatility and usability.
The word sedan represents superior comfort, while the BMW Series
is synonymous with sportiness. The new BMW Series Sedan
combines both. It is not just driver orientation that is important
rear-seat passengers too enjoy superior comfort with more leg and
knee room. The rear illustrates another strength of this sedan. The
rear seat bench [] optionally comes with a // split. This
allows you to transport all your luggage plus a golf bag, for example,
while still having enough room for four people. The optional comfort
access system ensures that the doors of the new BMW Series
Sedan unlock by themselves, without your having to use a key. It
also enables no-touch opening of the boot lid: a foot movement
below the rear apron causes the boot lid to open automatically, so
you can put in your luggage with ease.
Generous storage compartments []
turn longer journeys into comfortable
travel this includes two cup holders []
in front of the gear selector lever and
two door compartments large enough
to accommodate one-litre bottles. One
thing is certain: every one of your
passengers will have a first-class seat.
BMW ConnectedDrive 26 27
The ITrevolution has changed the way we live. For BMWdrivers, it has become normal to view their vehicle
as another networked component of their lives they expect to be able to access information on the go,
communicate via phone or e-mail, and keep up with the latest news. The term BMW ConnectedDrive
therefore comprises all packages and innovative technologies that enable the networking of BMW vehicles
and their occupants with the outside world, including the immediate trafc environment.

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 EfcientDynamics 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 programme
for more driving pleasure is based on several pillars:
Technology package. The optimisation of vehicles powered by conventional diesel and petrol engines continues apace. A comprehensive
technology package 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,
and many others.
BMW ActiveHybrid. With the new BMW ActiveHybrid
and Sedans, BMW has impressive hybrid volume models in its range. All these models
combine outstanding efciency with superlative dynamic ability.
BMWActiveE. Since , there has been a new form of dynamism on the roads: the all-electric BMWActiveE. It is manufactured in a small production
run, as part of a pilot project. In this way, BMWis preparing the way for the emissions-free mobility of the future.
BMW Hydrogen. 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 i (Megacity
Vehicle) and the BMW i. Key features of these vehicle concepts include the use of lightweight materials such as CFRP, electric drive systems,
powerful battery technology and eco-friendly production methods. BMW EfcientDynamics technologies are also an important part of BMW i
vehicles.
www.bmw-i.com
Auto Start/Stop function (for -speed manual and all automatic
transmissions). During brief stops, for example at a red light, the Auto
Start/Stop function automatically shuts down the engine to reduce fuel
consumption. A display in the instrument cluster indicates that the
function is active. The interior temperature remains constant even with
the engine switched off, ensuring that comfortable conditions are
maintained during longer stops.
BMWTwinPower Turbo technology. In petrol engines, this innovations
package combines a TwinScroll turbocharger with Valvetronic, Double-
VANOS and High Precision Injection. In diesel engines, it combines
Common Rail direct injection and a turbocharger with variable turbine
geometry. In this way, BMWTwinPower Turbo signicantly reduces the fuel
consumption of petrol and diesel engines while at the same time raising
power output across a wide range of engine speeds.
Brake Energy Regeneration. Brake Energy Regeneration means
that the alternator normally only generates electricity when the driver
takes his foot off the accelerator or brakes making productive use of
excess kinetic energy to feed the battery.
Aeorodynamics. Thanks to wide-ranging and detailed aerodynamics
optimisation, the new BMW Series Sedan has an outstanding drag
coefcient. This includes measures such as large-scale underoor
panelling and the Air Curtains in the front apron, which signicantly
reduce turbulence around the front wheels.
Electric Power Steering. Unlike conventional, hydraulic steering
systems, electric power steering only draws power during actual
steering movements. While driving straight ahead, the electric motor
remains inactive.
ECO PRO mode. Driving in ECO PRO mode helps customers achieve
fuel savings of up to per cent, depending on their individual style of
driving.
