WELCOME
ABOARD.
Get in and enjoy. Quality materials, excellent workmanship
and a sporting, elegant design combine to make a supremely
stylish interior.
In creating the interior design for the BMW Series Coupé, an
important goal was to achieve ideal ergonomics and a perfect look and
feel, to make the interior a place that the driver and passengers really
enjoy spending time in. Which is why the sophisticated interior
equipment delights both the eye and the touch.
A special treatment process ensures that the leather remains soft and
supple, while at the same time being extremely durable. By the way, on
a BMW seat, the leather is not fully stretched, but retains a little give. It
is gathered rather than pulled tight. This makes it more pleasant to
the touch. Leather needs a little bit of play in order for its fi nest qualities
to come to the fore. The manmade materials used in the interior are of a
particularly high quality as well. With their embossing, grain and coating,

it is almost as though they caress the skin whenever one touches them.
The wood trims use wood from sustainable plantations. Their fascinating
grain makes every piece an original, as unique as a person’s fi ngerprint.
These are just three examples of the care, perfection and eye for detail
that have gone into designing the interior of the BMW Series Coupé.
Many other examples could be added to the list. New equipment
options for the BMW Series Coupé include the Bamboo Grain
Anthracite interior trim. Bamboo, a traditional material people have used
for thousands of years, is currently experiencing a revival. In Asia, this
fast-growing plant is considered a symbol of long life, friendship and
purity. The entire interior design with its harmonious curves creates a
generous, spacious feel: an interior that is marked by sporting elegance
and aesthetic appeal as much as by an atmosphere of reassuring
comfort.
