THE BMW 7 SERIES.

JOY SETS BENCHMARKS.

BMW EfficientDynamics

Less emissions. More driving pleasure.

ENJOY INNOVATIONS

THAT SET

BENCHMARKS.

THE BMW 7 SERIES OVERCOMES SOME LIMITS

BY AUTOMATICALLY STICKING TO THEM.

THE PERFECT

COCKPIT IS ONE YOU

WANT TO LOOK AT –

BUT DON’T HAVE TO.

NOT DRIVING? THERE

IS ANOTHER WAY

TO SAVOUR THE

PLEASURE.

EVERYTHING YOU

COULD WANT JUST

WHERE YOU WANT IT.

FOR THOSE RARE

MOMENTS IN LIFE

WHEN YOU GET

TO SIT BACK AND

RELAX.

THIS HAS GONE IN.

The pleasure you get from driving a BMW is the result of meticulous engineering – always setting the benchmark because it goes far beyond outright engine performance. This is the tradition

behind BMW Efﬁ cientDynamics. It includes the visionary Hydrogen engine, already used in completely emission-free BMW Hydrogen 7 vehicles and BMW ActiveHybrid technology, an intelligent,

demand-oriented combination of internal combustion engine and electric motor. And every BMW already includes the multi-award-winning BMW Efﬁ cientDynamics technology package as

standard, boosting dynamics even further while simultaneously reducing fuel consumption and CO

2

emissions.

High Precision Injection

In this cutting-edge generation of petrol direct injection, the

Piezo injectors are positioned very close to the spark plugs.

They inject the fuel at high pressure and with extreme precision

to ensure particularly efﬁ cient combustion.

Lightweight engineering

Where it makes sense to use light materials, our engineers use

aluminium – in, for example, the front part of the car, the doors, the

bootlid and the chassis. Additionally, the roof is all-aluminium and,

thanks to an aluminium crankcase, the six-cylinder diesel engine

is among the lightest in its class. The weight savings reduce

fuel consumption and at the same time optimise the axle load

distribution for improved dynamics.

Air vent control*

Engine management determines the engine’s

cooling requirements constantly while driving,

making a permanent airstream through the

radiator unnecessary. The air vents in front of

the radiator open or close depending on the

outside temperature and road speed. When

shut, they improve aerodynamics, shorten

the engine’s warm-up time and so reduce fuel

consumption.

* May not be available in all countries. Please consult your

BMW partner.

Tyres with reduced rolling-resistance*

While driving, tyres are constantly changing shape. This uses

energy and thus fuel. Tyres with reduced rolling-resistance

have an improved design and use special materials for their

treads and sidewalls, which limits deformation.

Brake Energy Regeneration

To supply a battery with electrical energy, the generator (alternator)

is customarily driven using engine power, which demands

permanent fuel consumption. Brake Energy Regeneration

means the generator usually only produces electricity when

the driver either takes a foot off the accelerator or brakes –

previously unused kinetic energy is transformed in coasting

mode into electrical energy before being fed into the battery.

In this way, electricity is generated without consuming fuel.

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 inform you of all equipment details.

AND THIS IS WHAT COMES OUT.

Thanks to innovative features of BMW

Efﬁ cientDynamics, BMW has been able to

signiﬁ cantly reduce CO

񂢗

emissions in many

models. But that’s just for starters. We’re carrying

on our research with BMW Efﬁ cientDynamics in

the quest to bring you more driving pleasure

and lower emissions.

Less emissions. More driving pleasure.
