FAMILIAR FACE.

While adhering to a time-honored design lineage, the refreshed

sixth-generation Series displays elegantly subtle aerodynamic
enhancements. Theres a slightly steeper angle for the trademark
kidney grille and revised lower air intakes. But the wind will
surely notice as it slips more easily over the body to help reduce
fuel consumption. The eyes are brighter with standard Xenon
headlights and optional Adaptive LED Headlights that steer
into the curves. The LED taillights that give the Series such
a distinctive nighttime signature are more sharply contoured,
and with thinner light pipes. BMW also lets you further tailor
the look by choosing from new Luxury and Modern Lines and
M Sport, each with exclusive trims and features.

 BMW EFFICIENT DYNAMICS:
BMW EfficientDynamics MAKING A LITTLE GO A LONG WAY.
Less emissions. More driving pleasure.
BMW was one of the rst automotive manufacturers to pursue efcient driving technologies one part of our award-winning sustainability strategy.
BMW EfcientDynamics represents the most comprehensive package of innovative technologies currently in production for reducing fuel consumption
and emissions. Our commitment to EfcientDynamics means we are continuously developing innovative systems that bring us closer to our long-term
goal of emissions-free mobility. Since BMW has been able to reduce the CO emissions of its entire eet by approximately percent, and
intends to achieve a further percent reduction by . However, we remain committed to driving pleasure, which is being pursued in different ways.

Eco-friendly technology. The development of more efcient vehicles powered by conventional gasoline and diesel engines are continuing
challenges. A comprehensive technology directive 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,
Air Curtain front apron design, and many others.

BMW ActiveHybrid. With the BMW ActiveHybrid , BMW ActiveHybrid and BMW ActiveHybrid , BMW has impressive hybrid production models
in its line. All combine outstanding efciency with superlative dynamic ability.

BMW i. The all-new BMW i brand is launching two completely new vehicle concepts for sustainable mobility in an urban environment; both are an
important part of BMW EfcientDynamics technologies. Key features of the BMW i and BMW i include the use of lightweight materials such as
carbon-ber-reinforced plastic (CFRP), electric drive systems, powerful battery technology and eco-friendly production methods.

HIGH-TECH BODYGUARDS: ACTIVE AND PASSIVE SAFETY.
The Series is designed with BMWs full range of standard state-of-the-art active and passive safety technologies. Active safety features, such as
Xenon Adaptive Headlights, powerful engines and large brakes, help you see and respond to potentially dangerous situations. Should an accident
prove unavoidable, passive safety features, such as airbags and reinforcing bars that hook the doors to the body, are designed to help protect you and
your passengers. After a severe impact, a host of features spring into action: the doors automatically unlock, headlights and taillights flash, the starter
cable is disconnected from the battery and the fuel supply is cut off. Should any airbags deploy, BMW Assist eCall response specialists are
automatically alerted and notified of your location.

BMW and the environment.

BMW is a strong proponent of the environment and social responsibility. We launched
BMW EfcientDynamics back in 2000 the philosophy of providing greater power with
increased efciency and fewer emissions. This has resulted in signicant benets today
for our customers, the climate and the environment.

That year, ecological sustainability was also declared one of BMWs 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 environmentally 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, since 2005, BMW has been voted the worlds most sustainable automobile
manufacturer. At BMW, we strive for and achieve high performance in all we do.
