BMW EFFICIENT DYNAMICS –
A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY.
Fuel-effi cient vehicles accelerate
from to km/h in . seconds.
Fuel-effi cient vehicles are extremely
aerodynamic. Fuel-effi cient
vehicles cause excitement even
when parked.
Sports cars require only . litres
of diesel fuel per kilometres.
Sports cars are fuelled from a
wall socket.
Fuel-effi cient sports cars like the
BMW Vision Effi cientDynamics
concept car
make the impossible
possible. And demonstrate that
a combination of highly effi cient
mobility and pure emotion can
soon become a reality.
High Precision Injection –
direct petrol injection.
In this latest-generation direct
petrol injection system, the Piezo
injectors are positioned very close
to the spark plugs. They inject fuel
at high pressure, and with extreme
precision, enabling very effi cient
combustion.
Valvetronic.
The Valvetronic valve control
system improves engine response
and refi nement and helps to reduce
fuel consumption considerably. The
system provides fully variable lift
adjustment of the inlet valves.
Auto Start/Stop function.
BMW four-cylinder engines with
-speed manual transmission
automatically shut down when the
vehicle comes to a stop and the
driver operates the clutch to shift
into neutral. The engine restarts as
soon as the clutch is activated
again. This innovation signifi cantly
reduces fuel consumption,
especially in urban traffi c.
Tyres with reduced rolling
resistance.
While driving, tyres are constantly
changing shape. This uses up
energy and thus fuel. Tyres with
reduced rolling resistance minimise
the tyre’s changes in shape by
means of an optimised design and
the use of special materials in
the tread.
BMW are passionate
about researching and
developing innovations
that ensure advanced
and efficient mobility.
Which is why the
BMW Series Coupé,
like every BMW, comes
with the comprehensive,
multi-award-winning
BMW EfficientDynamics
technology package. The
BMW EfficientDynamics
features are perfectly
matched to reduce
fuel consumption and
CO
emissions while
maximising engine output
and dynamic performance.
Less emissions, more
driving pleasure –
a contradiction that BMW
has resolved once and
for all. It makes for happy
drivers while benefiting
the environment.

-speed sports automatic
transmission with double
clutch.
This transmission enables
lightning-fast gearshifts without any
interruption of power. In automatic
mode, it provides considerable fuel
savings by selecting the ideal gear
for every situation with speed and
precision (optionally available for
the BMW i Coupé).
Optimum Shift Indicator.
Shifting gears at the right time is
one of the easiest and most
effective ways to save fuel. This is
where the Optimum Shift Indicator
used in conjunction with the
-speed manual gearbox comes
in. It shows the driver which gear
to change to in order to save fuel.
Electric Power Steering.
Unlike conventional, hydraulic
steering systems, electric power
steering only draws power during
actual steering movements. When
the steering wheel position is
constant, the electric motor is
inactive.
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.

Less emissions. More driving pleasure.
Some BMW Effi cientDynamics features are equipment-dependent and not available for all model
variants. Your BMW partner will be pleased to advise you of the relevant equipment details.
