PASSION WINS.

Less emissions. More driving pleasure.
THE BMW SERIES SALOON - PASSION WINS.
STYLE VS. STANDARD.
 The BMW  Series Saloon is a winner in every respect. Breathtaking dynamics and impressive technology –
 embodied in an unmistakable design, whose uniqueness is further enhanced by the three BMW Lines: Modern,
 Sport and Luxury. Exclusive interior and exterior design elements, from the expressive BMW kidney grille and
 air inlets to the light alloy wheels, lend the vehicle an absolutely distinctive look. The result is three different
 personalities that have one thing in common – style.

THE BMW SERIES SALOON - PASSION WINS.
The first thing you notice about it is its athleticism:
               the design of the BMW  Series Saloon.

               One thing about the BMW  Series Saloon that immediately
               captivates the observer’s 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
               BMW  Series a distinctive personality.

               But it is the sum of all the details – the short overhangs, the
               long wheelbase, the coupé-like roof line and the distinctive
               side creases – that creates this car’s quintessential sporting
               appeal. Decide for yourself what you like most about the
               design of the BMW  Series – just follow your eyes.

The BMW Sport Line enhances the dynamic appeal of the BMW  Series Saloon:
it is distinguished by design elements in high-gloss Black, for example on the air
inlets, the exterior mirror caps (optional) and the double kidney grille with eight wide
slats on each side. The horizontal aluminium-look inserts in the front apron are
particularly eye-catching. Light alloy wheels with Double-spoke styling complete
the sporty impression.

EACH CHOICE GIVES YOU
AN ADVANTAGE.
Personality: the exterior of the BMW Lines*.

each day. This is why the new generation of the BMW  Series Saloon adapts its design
features to your individual style, even on the exterior. With the BMW Lines Modern,
Sport and Luxury, you can choose from three additional design schemes focused on
emphasising one particular attribute of the BMW  Series. Would you like to underscore

EIGHT GEARS – FOR LIVE
TRANSMISSION TO

                                                    The new eight-speed Steptronic transmission
                                                    (optional) 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 efficiency. The
                                                    eighth gear, with its particularly long transmission
                                                    ratio, lowers fuel consumption at high speed.
                                                    This transmission maximises the sum of ride
                                                    comfort and dynamic ability.

THE BMW ACTIVE HYBRID .
The first hybrid in the BMW  Series is the most efficient way of driving a car with kW (hp) of power – and at the same time the only full hybrid
in its class. The BMW ActiveHybrid  combines superior agility and a unique design with pioneering efficiency, with a fuel consumption of . litres per
km, and CO emissions of g/km. Its intelligent energy management, with functions such as all-electric driving at speeds up to km/h over
distances of up to three or four kilometres, “sailing” at speeds up to km/h with the internal combustion engine shut off, and even more powerful
bursts of acceleration using the boost function, complements this sustainable vehicle concept. Technologies that do not just lower fuel consumption,
but also increase driving pleasure.
