THE BMW Z.

E89 EAL0209S01T1/2

THE ESSENCE OF SHEER DRIVING PLEASURE.

If only all first impressions lasted this long.

The road doesn’t have to be grey.

Light it up with the new BMW Z Roadster.

One roadster for all four seasons.

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.

Optimum Shift I nd i c a t o r.

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.

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.

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 the 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.

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 the benchmark because 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 a number of completely

emission-free BMW  Series saloons. Also going into production soon is 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.

BMW Efﬁ cientDynamics

Less emissions. More driving pleasure.
