BMW EfficientDynamics

Getting More for Less: BMW EfficientDynamics is the world's most comprehensive technology package for the reduction of fuel consumption and emissions. And the best part: BMW EfficientDynamics reduces fuel consumption and emissions while simultaneously increasing driving dynamics. The result is sensational driving pleasure combined with low fuel consumption - and it's standard in all models.

Brake Energy Regeneration: As soon as the driver takes his/her foot off the accelerator, the car's redundant kinetic energy is transformed into storable electrical energy. The battery is thus charges "for free". The result: Less engine power is needed to feed the battery which saves fuel.

Electronic Power Steering: The electromechanical steering only operates during the actual steering process. When driving straight ahead, or at a constant steering angle, the electric motor does not consume any energy.

BMW TwinPower Turbo Technology: This innovative turbocharging process very efficiently recycles exhaust gas flow through two turbochargers.

Intelligent Lightweight Design has been achieved primarily through the use of high-strength multi-phase steels, high-strength hot-moulded steels and aluminium and design construction of the soft-top roof and stowage compartment.
