THE BMW Z4 .

EXPERIENCE PURE JOY.

BMW EfficientDynamics

Less emissions. More driving pleasure.

IF ONLY ALL FIRST IMPRESSIONS

LASTED THIS LONG.

THE ROAD DOESN’T HAVE TO BE GREY.

LIGHT IT UP WITH THE BMW Z4 ROADSTER.

One rOadster

fOr all fOur seasOns.

Electric Power Steering

Unlike conventional, hydraulic steering systems,

the electrical steering only uses energy while

steering is actually taking place. When the

steering wheel position is constant – for example

at high speed along the motorway – the electric

motor is inactive.

BMW TwinPower Turbo technology

This innovative exhaust gas turbo charger

efﬁ ciently recaptures the energy present

in exhaust through the use of two chargers

(Z4 3 5 i and Z4 sDrive3 5 is).

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 what gear to use in order to drive more

efﬁ ciently.

Brake Energy Regeneration

To supply a battery with electrical energy,

the generator (alternator) is permanently

driven using engine power, which demands

additional fuel consumption. Brake Energy

Regeneration means the generator usually

only generates electricity when the driver

either takes their foot off the accelerator or

the brake – previously

unused kinetic energy

is transformed in coasting

mode into electrical

energy before being fed into the battery.

In this way, electricity is generated while

coasting, without consuming fuel.

Tyres with reduced rolling-resistance

While driving, tyres are constantly changing

shape. This uses up energy and thus fuel.

Tyres with reduced rolling-resistance have an

improved design and use special materials for

their road treads and side walls, thus reducing

deformation.

Lightweight construction

Our engineers use aluminium where lighter

materials are more expedient, for instance in

the front section or for the suspension, in the

bonnet and in the hardtop. The six-cylinder

in-line petrol engine, for instance, is composed

of aluminium and magnesium. Making these

engines the lightest in their class. These weight

savings 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.

THIS HAS GONE IN.

The pleasure you get from driving a BMW is the result of ﬁ ne engineering – always setting standards, as it is based on much more than engine power.

This is the tradition behind BMW Efﬁ cientDynamics. It includes the visionary Hydrogen engine, already used in the completely emission-free

BMW 7 Series saloons, and the BMW ActiveHybrid – 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 that boosts dynamics even

further whilst simultaneously reducing fuel consumption and CO

emissions.

Thanks to the innovative features of

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

Efﬁ cientDynamics – in the quest to bring you

more driving pleasure and less emissions.

AND THIS IS WHAT COMES OUT.
