THE ROADSTER IS A DREAM
THAT WE HAVE TURNED INTO REALITY.
“BMW” and “roadster” – two words that are music to the ears of any automobile enthusiast. Together they always sound a chord of driving
pleasure in its purest form. And in continuation of this tradition we are proud to present the BMW Z . Classic roadster characteristics –
the long bonnet, short overhangs and deep, way-back seat – in a modern idiom create a look that is as familiar as it is unique. A look that
is complemented to perfection by the retractable hardtop. Whether open or closed, this folding roof maintains the low-slung lines typical
of a roadster. With it you can savour one of the fi nest ways to drive in comfort.

The broad, fl at front end, exuding roadster fl air, conveys at a glance the kind of ride the BMW Z can deliver. The sculptured bonnet is dominated by
two powerful contours radiating from the BMW emblem. The fi nely shaped dual round headlights with Xenon technology for high and low beam
draw the eye whether off or on, while the four striking illuminated rings of the daytime running lights make the roadster unmistakable even in the
dark. And the deep, upright BMW double kidney grille clearly proclaims just how much power is stored up behind them.

THE ROAD DOESN’T HAVE TO BE GREY.
LIGHT IT UP WITH THE BMW Z ROADSTER.
The BMW Z is as inspiring to drive as it is to look at. Our engineers set out to create a fusion of classical and innovative elements: powerful,
smooth-running engines, together with the set-back seating position and the rear-wheel drive for a sensation of intense dynamism at the wheel.
They’re design concepts that are hard to beat, as anyone who has ever driven a BMW roadster can confirm. But our engineers have retained
something else as well: their passion for developing new and pioneering technologies. This passion has produced, for example, the seven-speed
sport automatic transmission with double clutch that comes as standard with the BMW Z sDrive  is (optional for the Z sDrive  i). It shifts
gears lightning-fast, imperceptibly and particularly efficiently – automatically, or manually using the paddles on the leather steering wheel. Or the
Driving Experience Control: at one touch, you can adjust the ride to suit your mood, from emphatically sporty to softly cushioned. For even more
of a stand-out athletic performance, the BMW Z is also available with an adaptive M suspension (standard in the BMW Z sDrive  is).

ONE ROADSTER
FOR ALL FOUR SEASONS.
Imagine a practical vehicle that does what you need it to do    days a year – where previous roadsters have struggled, the BMW Z effortlessly excels.
The retractable aluminium hardtop means you can enjoy driving all year round. It guarantees a pleasant temperature whatever the weather, keeps
noise to a comfortable level, and gives a great all-round view. For longer journeys, a range of intelligent and capacious storage features provide all
the room you need. And all this culminates in a very special kind of everyday practicality that lets you leave the everyday behind.

A drive in the BMW Z is always a very special experience, which can be savoured to the full in the cockpit. Every element here is tightly focused
on the driver, all instruments are clearly structured – there’s no forgetting that you’re in a BMW roadster. The four round air-conditioning controls
(shown here with optional automatic air conditioning) are a fi ne example of an interior where every detail is imbued with style. Pleasant to the
touch, their form alludes to the proud history of the BMW Roadster. And with the optionally available latest generation iDrive control system you
can operate numerous on-board systems entirely intuitively, with nothing to distract you from the thrill of the BMW Z .

The high-quality materials in the interior of the BMW Z Roadster are produced with loving attention to detail, creating an atmosphere of exclusivity.
The optional Design Pure Balance, shown here, is particularly breathtaking. With the Fineline Anthracite fi ne-wood trim and extended leather fi ttings
in exclusive Merino Cohiba Brown leather, it exudes sophisticated modernity. Even the instrument panel and the door shoulders are luxuriously
upholstered in Cohiba Brown leather, whose high quality is evinced by fi ne double seams with contrast stitching. The leather upholstery on the
sport seats for driver and front passenger features innovative SunRefl ective Technology for even more comfortable open-top driving. The leather
contains refl ective colour pigments, so that the seats don’t heat up as much – even when exposed to direct sunlight.
BMW EfficientDynamics
Less emissions. More driving pleasure.
BMW EFFICIENT DYNAMICS –
MAKING A LITTLE GO A LONG WAY.
BMW EFFICIENT DYNAMICS FEATURES IN THE
BMW Z AT A GLANCE.
BMW was one of the fi rst manufacturers to pursue the goal of effi cient drive
technologies, as part of its multi-award-winning sustainability strategy.
BMW Effi cientDynamics, included as standard, is a comprehensive technology
package designed to reduce fuel consumption and emissions – while
simultaneously enhancing dynamic performance. A winner of many technology
awards, it has enabled the BMW Group to reduce the CO emissions of its
European new-vehicle fl eet by about   % since     . Currently   models
produce less than    g of CO per kilometre. The BMW Group intends to achieve
a further   % reduction in CO emissions by     .
Electric Power Steering. Unlike conventional hydraulic steering systems, the
electrical steering only uses energy during actual steering. When the steering
wheel position is constant – for example at high speed along the motorway – the
electric motor is inactive.
Different paths to the same destination: unmistakable BMW driving pleasure.
Under the umbrella of the BMW Effi cientDynamics project, BMW is continuously
developing innovative systems that will bring us closer to the long-term goal
of emission-free mobility. This BMW initiative 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, with innovations including BMW TwinPower Turbo technology,
ECO PRO mode and the Auto/Start Stop function, enables the reduction of
fuel consumption and emissions, while at the same time increasing power
output and driving enjoyment. And it all sets the standard in every BMW.
BMW ActiveHybrid. BMW delivers the most advanced and dynamic hybrid
driving experience thanks to the intellligent combination of an electric motor
and a combustion engine. The range includes the new BMW ActiveHybrid   ,
the BMW ActiveHybrid  and the BMW ActiveHybrid  . All combine high effi ciency
with superior dynamics.
BMW TwinPower Turbo technology. BMW TwinPower Turbo combines
the latest injection technologies for enhanced effi ciency with fully variable
power distribution featuring innovative turbocharging technology for a more
dynamic ride.
BMW ActiveE. Since     , there has been a new type of dynamism on the
road: the BMW ActiveE. Powered by electricity alone, it is manufactured in a
small production run, as part of a pilot project. In this way, BMW is preparing
the way for the emission-free mobility of tomorrow. The promise:  % emissions,
   % driving pleasure.
Auto Start/Stop function. The BMW Z sDrive  i and Z sDrive  i models
with six-speed manual transmission are equipped with the Auto Start/Stop
function. The Auto Start/Stop function switches off the engine when the vehicle
comes to a temporary standstill (e.g. at traffi c lights) to further reduce overall
fuel consumption. A signal (Start/Stop) in the display indicates that the function
is active.
BMW Hydrogen. Since the     s, BMW has had a pioneering role in developing
hydrogen as a long-term possibility for emissions-free mobility. The
BMW Hydrogen  , a luxury saloon with a hydrogen-powered combustion
engine, was presented in     .
BMW i. In line with the guiding principles of BMW Effi cientDynamics, the
BMW i brand is developing visionary new vehicle concepts for electric
mobility such as the BMW i (Megacity Vehicle) and the BMW i . While
including existing BMW Effi cientDynamics technologies, these vehicles also
use innovations in intelligent lightweight construction such as carbon. With
a focus on sustainability through the entire value chain and a range of additional
mobility services, BMW is progressively redefi ning the concept of individual
mobility.

Optimum Shift Indicator. Timely gear shifts are one of the most effective
and easiest ways to save fuel. This is where the Optimum Shift Indicator in
conjunction with six-speed manual transmission comes in. It shows the driver
which gear to use in order to save fuel.
Status   /    .
Due to become available from   /    .
CO emissions generated through the production and delivery of fuel or other energy sources were
not accounted for in determining CO emissions figures.
Brake Energy Regeneration. To supply the battery with electrical energy, the
generator (alternator) is driven using engine power on an ongoing basis, which
requires additional fuel consumption. Brake Energy Regeneration means the
generator usually only generates electricity when the driver brakes or takes
their foot off the accelerator – previously unused kinetic energy is transformed
in coasting mode into electrical energy before being fed into the battery. Thus
electricity is generated while coasting, without consuming fuel.
Tyres with reduced rolling-resistance. While the car is in motion, the tyres
are constantly changing shape, using up energy and fuel. Tyres with reduced
rolling-resistance have an improved design and use special materials for their
road treads and side walls, which reduces deformation.
Lightweight construction. Our engineers use aluminium where lighter materials
are more expedient, for instance in the front section and for the suspension, in
the bonnet and the hardtop. For example, the engines are made of aluminium,
making them the lightest in their class. These weight savings can lead to lower
fuel consumption and better axle load distribution – for more agility, especially
in bends.
Some BMW EfficientDynamics features are dependent on the car’s equipment and are not
available for all model variants. Your BMW partner will be happy to provide you with information
on all equipment details.

FAST GEAR CHANGES – MADE EASY
BY EVERY BMW Z .
A stand-out athletic performance needs more than just pure power. Equally important for a dynamic and superior drive is the seamless transfer
of power into acceleration. In the BMW Z , this is made possible by cutting-edge transmission technology. The models BMW Z sDrive  i,
Z sDrive  i and Z sDrive  i are fitted with a six-speed manual transmission as standard, which features short-throw gear shifts for particularly fast
gear changes. The eight-speed sport automatic transmission, which combines outstanding efficiency with an extremely sporty driving experience,
is available upon request for the BMW Z sDrive  i and the BMW Z sDrive  i. The BMW Z sDrive  i can also be selected with the optional
seven-speed sport automatic transmission with double clutch that comes as standard with the BMW Z sDrive  is. So while one gear is being
disengaged, the next is already in position. The gear shift takes mere milliseconds – roughly the blink of an eye – ensuring no loss of traction force.
The permanent engine connection facilitates outstanding acceleration that will take your breath away. And the automatic mode quickly and precisely
selects the most efficient gears to considerably lower fuel consumption. The barely perceptible gear changes markedly improve acceleration and
passenger comfort. Of course you can also use the gearshift paddles on the sport leather steering wheel to manually control the eight-speed sport
automatic transmission or the sport automatic transmission with double clutch.
In the seven-speed sport automatic transmission with double clutch, even and uneven
gears are distributed across two power trains. So while one gear is being disengaged, the
next is already in position – meaning the fastest of shifts with a maximum of precision.

THE BMW Z :
RULER OF ALL ROADS.
SPORT
COMFORT
There are some roads that are naturally beautiful. But in the BMW Z Roadster, all kinds of road will become a joy to travel. The
perfectly tuned chassis and suspension ensure excellent road contact and eliminate disturbances caused by rough or uneven
surfaces. So you will always arrive relaxed at your destination – even after a long journey. Keen to exchange this comfortable touring
car for a thrilling sports car? In the BMW Z Roadster, all it takes is the push of a button: the Driving Experience Control unifi es
countless driving dynamics components and affects the entire ride – more noticeably and comprehensively than almost any other
comparable system.
After switching to the Sport mode with its more sensitive steering, taking bends is an even greater thrill. On straights you will notice how
spontaneously the accelerator pedal reacts and with the optional automatic transmission you will be able to make even faster gear shifts
to further increase the BMW Z ’s sporty handling. But that’s just the beginning. The Sport+ mode takes you to the edge of extreme
athletic driving without compromising controllability and safety. This is achieved by a greater degree of slippage on the rear wheels – which
can also be manually activated at any time via a separate “Traction” button. In addition, the Dynamic Stability Control can be completely
deactivated at the touch of a button (DSC off). Here, an electronic limited slip differential enables powerful acceleration out of bends and
hairpins. The result is breathtaking agility, which can be taken one step further still: the optionally available Adaptive M suspension
(standard in the Z sDrive  is) provides even more precise handling, as the driver can adjust the damper and the system automatically
compensates for irregularities of the road surface.
Hardtop 30 | 31
DON’T LET IT RAIN ON YOUR PARADE.
Sunshine can turn to a storm in the blink of an eye. But you won’t be caught out – the BMW Z is ready for anything. Its fully retractable hardtop can
react lightning-fast to changes in the weather. At speeds of up to   km/h, it automatically closes in just   seconds and opens again in just   .
Inside, a pleasant temperature is constantly maintained and noise from outside is audibly reduced. And as you would expect from BMW, the hardtop
also has a positive effect on driving dynamics: made of lightweight aluminium, it helps keep the vehicle’s centre of gravity low. If you wish, you can
even further underscore this car’s powerful looks with the retractable BMW Individual hardtop in either non-metallic Black or Titanium Silver metallic .
And leave the grey skies far behind.

ALL-ROUND PROTECTION EVEN
WITH THE WIND IN YOUR HAIR.
iDRIVE. THE MODERN
EXPRESSION OF INTUITION.
A host of reassuring safety features in the BMW Z allows you to enjoy
your drive with total peace of mind. For instance, there are innovative
lighting technologies to help you avoid collisions. Xenon Headlights and
the optional Adaptive Headlights highlight obstacles in your path. And
if you have to perform an emergency braking manoeuvre, the Dynamic
Braking Lights provide the necessary warning to the vehicles behind.
In conjunction with the optional Navigation system Professional, the
BMW Z Roadster features the latest-generation iDrive. This combines
the control of all entertainment and communication functions and sets
benchmarks in operating comfort. The underlying principle of iDrive is
the separation of the controls and the display, creating an ergonomic
optimum: the controls are within easy reach on the centre console,
while the Control Display is at optimal viewing height and distance next
to the instrument panel.
Should an accident occur, the high-rigidity passenger cell with its
heavy-duty beam framework is key in guaranteeing passenger safety.
With reinforced side-impact protection, particularly stable A-pillars and
fi xed rollover bars, you can be sure of complete security even when the
top is down. For improved pedestrian security, the active bonnet rises
automatically in a collision.
Should the car go into
a roll, you can rely on
the stable A-pillars and
the rollover bars fi xed
behind the headrests.
But the BMW Z ’s safety features do not stop there – there is also a
series of features to assist passengers in the crucial moments after
an accident: with the BMW ConnectedDrive* option, the vehicle can
automatically notify the relevant emergency services , and communicate
both the position of the vehicle to the exact metre, and the approximate
severity of the accident. So the help you need can arrive faster.
* May not be available in all countries. Please consult your BMW partner.
Specially developed
head and upper-body
airbags cushion the
head, ribcage and
pelvis area in the
event of a collision.
The Controller has been designed according to state-of-the-art
biomechanical principles. Its “tilt, rotate and push” operating logic
follows principles used in computing, enabling users to operate it
intuitively without requiring time to get used to it. The direct menu
control buttons above the Controller can be used to directly control the
four most frequently used main menu items – media, radio, telephone
and navigation. In addition, you can use eight freely programmable functional
bookmarks to store your choice of settings – from your preferred
radio station or a particular CD track to the telephone numbers or
navigation destinations you use most frequently. For even more
convenience, iDrive also features optionally available voice recognition.
With the Navigation system Professional, the functions and settings
are shown on a high-resolution,  . " monitor that ensures optimum
readability and clarity. Menu items are arranged in graphically clear
and standardised form. Visual operating aids, such as an image of the
Controller or a display of all the current control options, make it even
easier to find your way around. High resolution is not the only impressive
thing about the anti-glare display – thanks to  D travel maps and
photorealistic representations of selected points of interest, navigation
turns into a visually fascinating experience.

Revolutionising mobile networking. The BMW Vision ConnectedDrive is a visionary roadster
with a design that exhilarates from the very fi rst glance. Its dynamic, fl owing contours lead the
eye from the striking front and along the stretched bonnet of this extraordinary vehicle – a
synthesis of exterior and interior. Each of the three levels of the interior stands for one of three
BMW ConnectedDrive components – convenience, infotainment and safety. The accompanying
functions and controls are illuminated in different colours, which literally radiate a pulsating
array of information. More information about this concept vehicle and further research projects
is available in the new Future Lab.
High-Beam Assistant. The optional High-Beam Assistant detects sources of light in the vehicle’s vicinity
and switches between high and low beam according to the traffi c situation. When the system is active,
an image sensor behind the interior mirror monitors traffi c and light conditions. Based on these sensor
images, the assistant function decides whether or not the high beam should be switched on. When it
detects vehicles ahead, or fi nds that ambient light is suffi cient, the high beam is switched to low again.

THE BMW Z4 sDRIVE35is.
DYNAMISM IN A NEW DIMENSION.
The BMW Z4 sDrive35is embodies uncompromising driving pleasure. Boasting BMW TwinPower Turbo technology, the BMW Z4 sDrive35is rolls
out with an impressive 250kW (340hp)1 and powerful torque of up to 450Nm – and the boost function pushes it briefly all the way to 500Nm. With
its standard seven-speed sport automatic transmission with double clutch, the six-cylinder in-line engine rockets without a break in torque at engine
speeds of up to 7,000rpm from 0 to 100km/h in only 4.8 seconds – and consumes on average only 9.0 litres over 100km, with CO2 emissions of 210g/km.
And this concentrated dynamism visibly radiates from the Z4 sDrive35is. The M Sport package, included as standard, and the 18" light alloy wheels in
Star-spoke styling 295 with mixed tyres emphasise the car’s overall athleticism. An impression reinforced by the imposing bonnet, short overhangs
and the low-slung seating position near the rear axle. The exterior mirrors in Oxide Silver, matt, and the exclusive modified M Aerodynamics package
in body colour, consisting of a front apron with integrated finisher struts in Aluminium, matt, as well as a rear apron with a black painted diffuser
complete this uncompromisingly sporty look.
The standard adaptive M Sport suspension ensures an optimum position on the road. And the cockpit offers perfect conditions for high-performance,
with its M driver foot support and exclusive speedometer display in Grey with sDrive35is lettering. In the BMW Z4 sDrive35is you can also expect
Kansas leather upholstery, shown here in Walnut (available as an option for all BMW Z4 models) as well as a sporty interior trim in Aluminium Carbon.
Sport seats for driver and front passenger offer optimum lateral support and, in conjunction with the M leather steering wheel with multifunction
buttons and monodirectional gearshift paddles and the M door sill finishers, contribute to a distinctly sporting ambiance. Floor mats with grey piping
and model signature together with the BMW Individual roofliner in Anthracite round off the attractive interior design.

YOU CAN TELL REAL ATHLETES
BY THEIR APPEARANCE.
THE BMW Z4 M SPORT PACKAGE.
Whatever engine version you have in mind for your BMW Z4, with the exclusive M Sport package you can lend this timelessly elegant roadster an even
more dynamic appearance, supplementing your vehicle with excellent aerodynamic qualities and a host of athletic details. Key in creating this impression
are the M Aerodynamics package with the specially shaped front and rear aprons, and 18" M light alloy wheels in a Star-spoke 325 M design with
mixed tyres. 19" M light alloy wheels in a Double-spoke 326 M design, as shown above right, are available as an optional extra. The M leather steering
wheel guarantees a firm grip, and the M Sport suspension likewise included in the package delivers impressively agile road positioning. On top of all
these features, the BMW Z4 exudes even more self-confidence when decked out in striking Melbourne Red metallic (optional), a finish reserved exclusively for the M Sport package. In the interior, once you have opted for the M Sport package you can look forward to sport seats for the driver and
front passenger, M door sill finishers, an M footrest, the BMW Individual roofliner in Anthracite, as well as an attractive interior trim in Aluminium
Carbon.
The rim on the M leather steering wheel has
especially good grip. With the integrated multifunction buttons you can operate the radio,
CD player and optional telephone while driving.
The M manual gear lever knob with M emblem
is exclusive to the M Sport package.
The M door sill fi nishers set a sporty tone.
STRIKINGLY SPORTY.
The BMW Z oozes power with the Titanium Silver metallic paint fi nish.   " light alloy wheels in Turbine style    with mixed tyres
emphasise its dynamic character. The Coral Red Kansas leather upholstery provides a particularly stunning contrast and the interior trim
in Fine Brushed Aluminium completes the interior’s refi ned athletic atmosphere.

BMW Individual Hardtop in two contrasting colours.
The perfect expression of your personal taste: the BMW Individual hardtop in non-metallic Black
or Titanium Silver metallic. These are also powerful colours that emphasise the strong character of
the BMW Z with its distinctive retractable roof. And while non-metallic Black underscores the car’s
dynamism, Titanium Silver showcases its elegance. Whatever fi nish you choose, thanks to the
colour contrast of the roof and body, the dynamic roadster silhouette – even when the roof is
closed – is always clear to see.

Design Pure Balance
DESIGN PURE BALANCE – EXCLUSIVELY FOR
SELECTED CUSTOMERS: YOU, FOR INSTANCE.
For the fi rst time, the Design Pure Balance equipment package is available for the
BMW Z . A particularly high-quality, harmonious combination of colours and materials.
It begins with the recommended Mineral White metallic paint fi nish, which makes a
radiantly bright impression. Of course, you can also combine the Design Pure Balance
with other exterior colours. The interior of the BMW Z in Cohiba Brown, for example,
creates an exquisite contrast. You’ll be surrounded by extended velvety Merino leather.
The door shoulders and the top of the instrument panel are upholstered in Cohiba
Brown leather, with the sunblinds in the same high-quality material in black. Cohiba
Brown creates an atmosphere of extraordinary elegance, which can be stylishly
combined with the anthracite Fineline fi ne-wood trim used in the interior. The package
also includes exclusive sport seats providing excellent support in every driving situation.

DESIGN PURE IMPULSE – MAKES AN INDIVIDUAL
STATEMENT IN THE COCKPIT AND ON THE ROAD.
If your heart beats faster at the prospect of sporty open-air driving coupled with an
expressive design, you will love the Design Pure Impulse design package for the
BMW Z Roadster. Selected extras – such as sport seats covered in high-quality
Black Nappa leather as part of the Circuit Alcantara/leather combination with yellow
detailing and the BMW Individual Piano Finish Black interior trim – afford the cockpit
an athletic aura. As do the yellow contrasting stitching on the dashboard, the door
inserts in yellow Alcantara and the high-contrast BMW Individual roofl iner in Anthracite.
And from the outside, individualists will fall for the striking appearance of the optional
exclusive Atacama Yellow paint fi nish. Design Pure Impulse can also be combined with
a range of other metallic and non-metallic exterior colours.

Driver and front passenger airbags protect
head and chest from impact on the steering
wheel or dashboard in the event of a head-on
collision. The front passenger airbag is equipped
with a seat occupancy detector. The side airbag
(head/upper body) signifi cantly reduces the risk
of injury to the head, ribcage and pelvis area in
the event of a side-on collision.
Adaptive Headlights with variable light
distribution feature moving headlights that
optimise road illumination in bends. This
enhances safety when driving at night or in bad
visibility. Sensors register the steering angle,
yaw rate and vehicle speed, and the direction of
the headlight beams is automatically adjusted
to match the calculated layout of the bend.

 Side impact protection with strengthened
door cross members around the seat and
backrest areas and a seat structure specially
designed for an impact all increase protection
for the occupants.

Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) incl. CBC,
Brake Assistant and additional functions.
DSC detects any risk of skidding early on and
stabilises the car in milliseconds. Traction
Mode (DTC) permits increased wheel slip,
in order to maximise propulsion in specifi c
situations and enable a sportier driving style.
In DSC-off mode, an electronic limited slip
differential improves driving characteristics.
Rollover protection system comprises two
steel rollover bars behind the headrests, together
with a high-tensile chassis cross member. The
system also includes a rollover bar of tubular
steel integrated into the windscreen cowl and
A-pillars.
Bumpers with reversible aluminium impact
absorbers and replaceable deformation
elements at the front and rear absorb impacts
of up to   km/h without damage to the body;
energy-absorbing foam in the bumpers
at the front absorbs impacts of up to  km/h
without damage.



Runflat tyres: the reinforced walls mean
that the tyres do not immediately defl ate when
air pressure is reduced, and do not loosen
from the rims.
The runflat indicator comes as standard
and minimises the danger resulting from a tyre
defect. An indicator light on the dashboard
warns the driver of any slight drop in pressure;
an acoustic signal warns of a dramatic drop
in pressure.
58 | 59
Cornering Brake Control (CBC) increases
vehicle stability when braking gently in a fast
bend. During braking manoeuvres, the load
on the rear wheels is reduced, which can
lead to oversteering ( ). In brake manoeuvres
that are outside the ABS control range, CBC
addresses this tendency using asymmetric
brake pressure control ( ) in order to create a
stabilising counterforce ( ).


Crash sensor overrides the central lock
function in the event of an accident (the doors
can then be opened), the interior lights and
warning blinkers are switched on, and the safety
battery terminal clamp is activated.

All BMW Z models comply with the EU emissions standard. Fuel consumption is determined
according to the ECE combined driving cycle (  /   /EC). This consists of approx. one third
urban driving and two thirds extra-urban driving (measured in terms of distance). CO emissions
are measured in addition to fuel consumption. Optional equipment can increase these
figures. For more information on fuel consumption and CO emissions, please consult your

BMW Service | BMW Financial Services
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.
BMW Service Inclusive*. Service
costs are another area where your
BMW Service partner can offer you an
intelligent solution. With BMW Service
Inclusive, routine maintenance service
will be provided at no extra cost to you,
for the agreed duration or mileage.
Find out more online at
www.bmw.com/serviceinclusive
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 – data
which previously had to be collected
in the workshop. Your service consultant
will then call you back, in order to
arrange an appointment. As vehicle
information is transferred in advance,
time in the garage can be spent more
effi ciently, so your BMW is back on
the road faster. In the unlikely event
of a breakdown, BMW TeleServices
enables you to transmit diagnostics,
vehicle and location data directly to
BMW breakdown assistance. With
BMW Teleservice Assistance,
malfunctions can often be remedied
remotely, getting you quickly and
easily back on the road. For further
information, visit
www.bmw.com/teleservices
Mobile Service*: in the event of a
breakdown, BMW Mobile Service is
at your disposal round the clock.
Specially trained BMW technicians
will do everything necessary to get
your BMW back on the road, with
telephone or on-site assistance as
needed. Simply contact BMW Mobile
Service. In addition, all BMW vehicles
newly registered from  January     ,
have a comprehensive   -month
mobility service in line with the
applicable BMW Mobile Care warranty
conditions (including towing, rental
car, taxi, hotel accommodation and
vehicle return). This BMW mobility
warranty is automatically extended by
another   months if you have the
scheduled 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
BMW Financial Services. If there’s
one more thing you could wish for
to go with your BMW, it could simply
be the perfect fi nancing solution –
one that leaves you with enough
room for the other good things in life.
BMW Financial Services provides you
with personalised leasing, fi nance and
insurance options – tailored to your
requirements and budget. But we
offer you more than just favourable
conditions. Take for example the
components of our leasing package,
which include courtesy vehicles and
insurance. For further information
please visit www.bmwfs.com. Find

for your desired car.

vehicle manufacturing operations by   % per vehicle. In our engine plant in
