The new BMW Series Sedan i i xDrive i i xDrive The Ultimate d Driving Machine® CN1286349ID Rewarding. Reinvented. An engine of change: BMW presents a paradigm shift for diesel power. Discover what it’s like to catch up to your dreams. Fiercely protective of its owner. Take the wheel – and take control of the road. Because every trip should sound as amazing as it feels. This is how much has gone in. And this is what comes out. At BMW, we create dynamic vehicles that thrill you with quick acceleration, predictable handling and unshakable control. We are also busy nding ways to sustain this level of performance while incorporating innovative fuels and technologies to help preserve the environment. This is what we refer to as “Ef cientDynamics.” This goal has led to the visionary CleanEnergy hydrogen-powered engine, which is currently used in the emission-free BMW Hydrogen Sedan. BMW Advanced Diesel with BluePerformance, which offers diesel power with quick acceleration, increased fuel ef ciency and reduced emissions, is being introduced to the U.S. in select models in , including the d. In fact, every BMW on the road today comes standard with technology that boosts performance while simultaneously reducing fuel consump- tion and CO emissions. Valvetronic Instead of using a traditional throttle, Valvetronic technology in Aerodynamics the i and i xDrive lets the engine breathe more easily by The more smoothly that air flows over a vehicle, varying the lift height of the valves to regulate air intake. The the more efficiently it can operate. All BMWs are result: improved cold starts, smoother running, and a significant designed for a low coefficient of aerodynamic drop in fuel consumption. Using revolutionary tech nology such drag, which translates into quicker acceleration, as this, BMW has improved its overall average fuel economy more stable handling, quieter operation and greater more than any other manufacturer. fuel efficiency. A BMW’s integrated front spoilers reduce the amount of air flowing underneath, Double-VANOS minimizing front-end lift. This allows a BMW to hug VANOS is BMW’s valve timing system that can “steplessly” the road at higher speeds for excellent stability. vary the points in the combustion cycle when valves open and close. Double-VANOS refers to the fact that it operates on both the intake and exhaust camshafts. Electronically controlled in response to engine speed, load and temperature, VANOS reduces emissions, and enhances low- to medium-speed torque, as well as fuel efficiency.
