Munich. With the introduction of 48-volt mild hybrid technology in additional model series from summer 2020, BMW continues to consistently reduce fuel consumption and emissions in its current vehicle fleet. From July and August 2020, both efficiency and dynamic performance will be optimised in 51 models with the use of a particularly powerful starter generator and an additional battery. This also applies to the new in-line 6-cylinder diesel engines in the BMW 7 Series and in the BMW X3, BMW X4, BMW X5, BMW X6 and BMW X7. Two additional engine variants are available for the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé from July 2020 onwards. In numerous plug-in hybrid models, the new BMW eDrive Zone function will ensure an automatic switch to purely electric operating mode when entering inner city areas such as low emission zones.

The extension of the range of standard and optional equipment features in the areas of driver assistance systems, operation and networking contributes to an increase in driving pleasure. A new display and control system will be part of the standard trim in the new BMW 3 Series from July 2020. Among other things, BMW Operating System 7 enables use of the optional BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant. Furthermore, in the BMW 3 Series and other model series the range of functions of the optional Driving Assistant Professional is supplemented by Active Navigation Guidance and the Emergency Lane Assistant.

Increased dynamic performance and reduced fuel consumption: 48-volt mild hybrid technology now in 51 BMW models.
From summer 2020 onwards, mild hybrid technology will be used in numerous additional BMW models to provide support and relief for the combustion engine. It consists of a 48-volt starter generator that enables particularly intensive braking energy recuperation along with an additional battery to store the electricity that is generated in this way. The 48-volt battery not only supplies the electrically operated vehicle functions, it also makes its energy available to generate additional drive power. For this purpose the current flows back to the starter generator, which now takes on the role of an electric drive. This reduces the load on the combustion engine, allowing it to run as often as possible in an efficiency-optimised load range. What is more, the generator creates an electric boost during acceleration. This instantly available additional output of 8 kW/11 hp supports dynamic power delivery during start and acceleration.

The 48-volt mild hybrid technology was first introduced in selected model variants of the BMW 5 Series in autumn 2019. This was followed by the BMW 3 Series models and several BMW X models. From July and August 2020, it will be available as standard in 37 further model variants of the BMW 3 Series, BMW 5 Series, BMW 6 Series and BMW 7 Series as well as the BMW X3, BMW X4, BMW X5, BMW X6 and BMW X7. All in all it will ensure efficiency and dynamic performance in 51 current BMW models.

More power, less emissions: the new in-line 6-cylinder diesel engines with optimised BMW TwinPower Turbo Technology.
A new generation of in-line 6-cylinder engines will make its debut in numerous BMW model series in summer 2020. These highly efficient aluminium power units, each with a capacity of 3.0 litres, combine their extensively further developed BMW TwinPower Turbo Technology with the new 48-volt mild hybrid system, thereby achieving particularly significant progress within the context of BMW EfficientDynamics. In addition to optimised turbocharging systems, the latest version of common rail direct injection with piezo injectors ensures that both performance and efficiency are significantly increased in the new diesel engines. The injectors now transport fuel to the combustion chambers in up to ten injections per cycle and at a maximum pressure of 2,700 bar.

With maximum output increased by 15 kW/21 hp to 210 kW/286 hp, the new diesel engine for the models BMW 730d (combined fuel consumption: 4.9 – 4.7 l/100 km; combined CO₂ emissions: 128 – 123 g/km) and BMW 730d xDrive (combined fuel consumption: 5.2 – 5.0 l/100 km; combined CO₂ emissions: 138 – 133 g/km), BMW 730Ld (combined fuel consumption: 5.0 – 4.8 l/100 km; combined CO₂ emissions: 130 – 126 g/km), BMW 730Ld xDrive (combined fuel consumption: 5.3 – 5.1 l/100 km; combined CO₂ emissions: 139 – 133 g/km), BMW X3 xDrive30d (combined fuel consumption: 5.6 – 5.2 l/100 km; combined CO₂ emissions: 147 – 137 g/km), BMW X4 xDrive30d (combined fuel consumption: 5.6 – 5.1 l/100 km; combined CO₂ emissions: 146 – 136 g/km), BMW X5 xDrive30d (combined fuel consumption: 6.2 – 5.7 l/100 km; combined CO₂ emissions: 164 – 150 g/km) und BMW X6 xDrive30d (combined fuel consumption: 6.2 – 5.7 l/100 km; combined CO₂ emissions: 162 – 149 g/km) demonstrates a perceptibly enhanced temperament. Its particularly spontaneous power delivery is due to the multi-stage turbocharging used for the first time in this version of the in-line 6-cylinder diesel engine, along with variable turbine geometry for the low-pressure stage of the system. Increased by 30 to 650 Nm, the maximum torque of the new drive unit goes on stream at between 1,500 and 2,500 rpm – a power boost that especially results in enhanced sprint capacity. For example, the BMW 730d and the BMW 730d xDrive have improved their acceleration from zero to 100 km/h by 0.2 seconds each to 5.9 and 5.6 seconds respectively.

The new diesel engine now also used in the BMW 740d xDrive models BMW 740d xDrive (combined fuel consumption: 5.4 – 5.2 l/100 km; combined CO₂ emissions: 142 – 136 g/km), BMW 740Ld xDrive (combined fuel consumption: 5.4 – 5.2 l/100 km; combined CO₂ emissions: 143 – 137 g/km), BMW X3 M40d (combined fuel consumption: 6.0 – 5.6 l/100 km; combined CO₂ emissions: 157 – 148 g/km), BMW X4 M40d (combined fuel consumption: 5.9 – 5.6 l/100 km; combined CO₂ emissions: 156 – 147 g/km) und BMW X7 xDrive40d (combined fuel consumption: 6.6 – 6.4 l/100 km; combined CO₂ emissions: 173 – 167 g/km) generates even greater pulling power. Its multi-stage turbocharging system comprises a high-pressure and a low-pressure turbocharger with variable turbine geometry. As a result, a maximum torque of 700 Nm is delivered between 1,750 and 2,250 rpm. The engine reaches its peak output of 250 kW/340 hp at 4 400 rpm. In the BMW 740d xDrive, for example, this increased power helps achieve a sprint from standstill to 100 km/h that is also improved by 0.2 seconds to 5.0 seconds.

The two new engines are feature exhaust gas treatment technology with engine-related components consisting of a diesel oxidation catalytic converter and an SCR coating on the diesel particulate filter. For optimum reduction of nitrogen oxide (NO_X) emissions, a second dosage unit is additionally integrated at the outlet of the engine-related SCR system. As a result, the models powered by the new in-line 6-cylinder diesel engines meet the Euro 6d emissions standard.

Expansion of the model range for the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé.
The BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé model range will be extended from July 2020 with the addition of two new engine variants. A new entry-level diesel engine and an additional all-wheel drive model variant are available for the sporty, elegant four-door model in the premium compact segment. The new BMW 218d Gran Coupé (combined fuel consumption: 4.5 – 4.2 l/100 km; combined CO₂ emissions: 118 – 109 g/km) is powered by the latest version of a 4-cylinder diesel engine. The BMW TwinPower Turbo Technology in the 2.0-litre power unit now includes a two-stage turbocharging system as well as a likewise further developed common rail direct injection featuring solenoid valve injectors. The new engine delivers its maximum torque of 350 Nm between 1,750 and 2,500 rpm, reaching a maximum output of 110 kW/150 hp at 4,000 rpm. The new BMW 218d Gran Coupé accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 8.6 seconds with the standard 6-speed manual transmission and in 8.5 seconds with the optional 8-speed Steptronic transmission.

The second diesel engine available for the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé delivers a maximum output of 140 kW/190 hp and a maximum torque of 400 Nm. In the new BMW 220d xDrive Gran Coupé (combined fuel consumption: 4.9 – 4.5 l/100 km; combined CO₂ emissions: 129 – 119 g/km) it is now combined with intelligent all-wheel drive and an 8-speed Steptronic transmission. This enables the new model variant to accelerate from standstill to 100 km/h in 7.3 seconds. Thanks to state-of-the-art exhaust gas treatment including SCR catalytic converter with AdBlue injection, both new models meet the Euro 6d emissions standard.

Green light for BMW eDrive Zone: locally emissions-free travel in the city on an automated basis.
Innovative technology from the fields of electrification and digitalisation is combined in the new BMW eDrive Zone function available in the premium car manufacturer’s plug-in hybrid models. This globally unique digital service offers additional options for making optimum use of the capabilities of emissions-free driving. The BMW eDrive Zone function triggers an automatic switch to purely electric operating mode as soon as the vehicle enters selected urban areas such as low-emission zones.

BMW eDrive Zone will be a standard feature of all plug-in hybrid models of the BMW 3 Series, BMW 5 Series and BMW 7 Series as well as the BMW X5. The digital service uses geo-fencing technology via GPS to identify designated areas. eDrive zones of this kind are currently designated in some 80 cities throughout Europe. When the service is activated, each available eDrive Zone on the navigation map is graphically highlighted in the Control Display: a message appears to inform the driver that the vehicle will automatically switch to electric driving mode as soon as it enters an eDrive Zone.

From summer 2020, the above-mentioned plug-in hybrid models will also be fitted with an integrated drive-ready sound for electric power as standard. This means that both starting and stopping the electric drive will be accompanied by a distinctive acoustic signal. In addition there has been an expansion of the range of preconditioning functions, which is also a standard feature. Depending on the equipment fitted, more functions will be available that can be activated remotely by smartphone, in addition to interior cooling and heating. In future it will also be possible to activate the seat climate control before the start of a journey, for example. In the same way it will be possible to include the seat, steering wheel, exterior mirror and rear window heating systems in the preconditioning for heating the interior, as well as heating of the cameras for the driver assistance systems.

BMW 3 Series Sedan and BMW 3 Series Touring now fitted with BMW Operating System 7 as standard.
In the new BMW 3 Series, the latest generation of the display and control system will be a standard feature as of summer 2020. Previously only used in conjunction with BMW Live Cockpit Professional, BMW Operating System 7 offers extensive individualisation and personalisation of the content shown on the Control Display. The standard BMW Live Cockpit now also includes a redesigned instrument cluster with a 5.1-inch digital display at its centre. BMW Live Cockpit Plus, like BMW Live Cockpit Professional, also includes the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant.

The optional Driving Assistant Professional is a particularly comprehensive collection of driver assistance systems designed to optimise comfort and safety: it is being used by BMW to pave the way to automated driving in numerous current models. The focus is on the steering and lane guidance assistant, which will be enhanced with additional functions from summer 2020 in the BMW 3 Series, BMW 5 Series, BMW 6 Series and BMW 8 Series, in the BMW X5, BMW X6 and BMW X7, and in all variants of the BMW M5 and BMW M8.

The new Active Navigation Guidance indicates lane changes that are necessary in order to continue driving along the selected route when destination guidance is active. The driver can then carry out this operation conveniently with the aid of the lane change assistant. In addition, Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go function will in future include an adaptive distance control that adapts to the respective traffic situation and environmental conditions.

Further progress is also being made in the intelligent control of the Speed Limit Info system with No Passing Indicator. In all model variants of the BMW 1 Series, BMW 3 Series, BMW 5 Series, BMW 6 Series, BMW 7 Series and BMW 8 Series, the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé, the BMW Z4, the BMW X5, the BMW X6 and the BMW X7 as well as the BMW M5, the BMW M8, the BMW X5 M and the BMW X6 M, road sign detection will in future additionally take into account speed limits that are restricted in time and only apply on certain days of the week. On days other, the speed limit derived from the navigation data is displayed.

BMW 7 Series and BMW 8 Series with optimised Integral Active Steering.
Sporty flair and ride comfort in the BMW 7 Series luxury sedans and the luxury sports cars of the BMW 8 Series benefit from Integral Active Steering. The optional suspension system combines a variable rack and pinion ratio on the front axle with selective co-steering of the rear wheels. Even at particularly low speeds of less than 3 km/h, the rear wheels are now countersteered. This gives the models of the BMW 7 Series and BMW 8 Series additional manoeuvrability when moving slowly in and out of parking spaces or passing through narrow gaps.

In addition, the BMW 7 Series will be available from July 2020 in the new exterior paint finish Phytonic Blue metallic and the BMW Individual paint finish Frozen Bluestone metallic. A fresh touch of luxury ambience is added to the interior with the BMW Individual leather steering wheel as well as the new version of the BMW Individual Merino full leather trim in the colour combination Smoke White/Night Blue/Black.

Munich/Genève : Le constructeur premium BMW poursuit sa stratégie d’électrification de son offre de motorisation et présente ses modèles hybrides rechargeables dernière génération lors de l’édition 2019 du Salon de Genève. Dans le même temps, BMW annonce le lancement commercial d’un Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) doté d’une motorisation électrique. Par ailleurs, la BMW X3, dont le succès mondial ne se dément pas, sera produite en variante hybride rechargeable à compter de décembre 2019. Elle deviendra ainsi le premier modèle de la marque à être proposé au choix avec un moteur thermique, un système hybride rechargeable, et, à partir de 2020, une motorisation 100 % électrique.

En 2018, BMW Group a encore une fois consolidé son statut de pionnier et de leader sur le marché de l’électrification automobile (source : rapport IHS Markit New Registrations 2018 du 04/01/2019). Avec une part de marché de plus de 9 %, BMW Group se place en tête du classement des constructeurs premium traditionnels de véhicules à motorisation 100 % électrique ou hybride rechargeable. En 2018, BMW Group s’est imposé comme le leader du marché des véhicules électrifiés dans le segment premium en Allemagne, en Chine et en Belgique. Avec une part de marché de plus de 16 %, le constructeur a également dominé le marché européen des véhicules électrifiés tous segments confondus. BMW Group a par ailleurs enregistré en 2018 un nouveau record de vente à l’échelle mondiale en écoulant plus de 140 000 modèles électriques ou hybrides rechargeables, soit une progression de 38,4 % en glissement annuel.

L’électromobilité est l’un des quatre domaines d’avenir ACES (Autonomie, Connectivité, Électrification et Services/Partage) et représente à ce titre l’un des piliers de la stratégie d’entreprise NUMBER ONE > NEXT. L’objectif de BMW Group est de mettre en circulation plus d’un demi-million de véhicules électrifiés issus des différentes marques du groupe d’ici fin 2019.

Au total, avec la BMW i3 (consommation électrique en cycle mixte : 13,1 kWh/100 km*) et la BMW i3s (consommation électrique en cycle mixte : 14,6 – 14,0 kWh/100 km*), toutes deux dotées d’une motorisation 100 % électrique, la BMW i8 Coupé (consommation de carburant en cycle mixte : 1,8 l/100 km ; consommation électrique en cycle mixte : 14,0 kWh/100 km ; émissions de CO2 en cycle mixte issues du moteur thermique : 42 g/km*), la BMW i8 Roadster (consommation de carburant en cycle mixte : 2,0 l/100 km ; consommation électrique en cycle mixte : 14,5 kWh/100 km ; émissions de CO2 en cycle mixte issues du moteur thermique : 46 g/km*), les variantes hybrides rechargeables de la BMW X5, de la BMW X3, de la BMW Série 2, de la BMW Série 3, de la BMW Série 5 et de la BMW Série 7, ainsi que la MINI Cooper SE Countryman ALL4 (consommation de carburant en cycle mixte : 2,5 – 2,4 l/100 km ; consommation électrique en cycle mixte : 13,7 – 13,4 kWh/100 km ; émissions de CO₂ en cycle mixte : 56 – 55 g/km*) et la BMW X1 xDrive25Le produite en Chine pour le marché national, BMW Group prévoit l’introduction de 12 modèles électrifiés d’ici la fin de l’année 2019. L’offre de véhicules à motorisation électrique est unique de par le nombre de modèles proposés, mais aussi par leur variété : compactes premium, intermédiaires, intermédiaires supérieures, modèles de luxe hautes performances, voitures de sport ou encore SAV (Sports Activty Vehicles). D’ici 2025, BMW Group entend ajouter au moins 25 modèles à son offre de véhicules à motorisation électrique.

Première mondiale : la BMW X3 xDrive30e hybride rechargeable.

BMW lancera la production d’un nouveau SAV hybride rechargeable en décembre 2019, élargissant ainsi son offre de véhicules à motorisation électrique. Présentée en exclusivité mondiale à l’occasion de l’édition 2019 du Salon de Genève, la BMW X3 xDrive30e allie la polyvalence d’un SAV intermédiaire premium aux technologies de pointe du système BMW eDrive. Outre sa fiabilité, ses performances en conduite sportive et son système de transmission intégrale BMW xDrive (qui reste actif en conduite 100 % électrique), la BMW X3x Drive30e se distingue par sa consommation de carburant particulièrement basse et ses émissions réduites. Par ailleurs, sa batterie bénéficie de technologies de pointe qui permettent à la BMW X3 xDrive30e d’afficher une autonomie électrique pouvant atteindre 50 km*. Enfin, grâce au système BMW eDrive, le SAV gagne en sobriété avec une consommation de carburant en cycle mixte pouvant atteindre 2,4 l/100 km* et des émissions de CO₂ pouvant s’établir à 56 g/km* en fonction de la situation de conduite.

Le système hybride rechargeable de la BMW X3 xDrive30e se compose d’un moteur essence quatre cylindres avec technologie BMW TwinPower Turbo et d’un moteur électrique. La motricité produite par les deux moteurs est transmise jusqu’à la route ou à la piste tout-terrain par une boîte de vitesses Steptronic 8 rapports via le système de transmission intégrale intelligent. La puissance cumulée de 185 kW/252 ch peut être augmentée de 30 kW/41 ch par le recours temporaire à la puissance en crête du moteur électrique. La BMW X3 xDrive30e abat le 0 à 100 km/h en seulement 6,5 secondes (valeur provisoire).

Le dernier modèle hybride rechargeable BMW en date est équipé d’une batterie lithium-ion logée sous la banquette arrière dans un souci d’optimisation de l’espace. Par ailleurs, le coffre de la BMW X3 xDrive30e offre un volume utile de 450 litres similaire à celui des variantes propulsées par une motorisation thermique.

Autres premières mondiales à Genève : BMW 330e Berline, BMW X5 xDrive45e et les variantes hybrides rechargeables de la nouvelle BMW Série 7.

Le portefeuille produit de BMW Group témoigne du rôle de leader que joue le constructeur dans le domaine de l’électrification. Ainsi, à l’occasion de l’édition 2019 du Salon de Genève, BMW présentera la deuxième génération de ses modèles hybrides rechargeables dans trois segments distincts.

Comparée à la génération précédente, la nouvelle BMW 330e Berline impressionne par son autonomie électrique de 60 km*, en hausse de quelque 50 %, par sa sobriété (jusqu’à 1,7 l/100 km) et par son faible niveau d’émissions de CO₂ (jusqu’à 39 g/km*), sans jamais renier le plaisir de conduire qui a fait la renommée de la berline sportive. La motorisation hybride rechargeable de la BMW 330e Berline affiche une puissance cumulée de 185 kW/252 ch, et peut être temporairement accrue de 30 kW/41 ch en utilisant la fonction XtraBoost fournie de série. La nouvelle BMW 330e Berline peut ainsi atteindre 100 km/h départ arrêté en 6,0 secondes (valeur provisoire).

La dernière version de la BMW X5 hybride rechargeable se distingue elle aussi par un gain de puissance, d’efficience et d’autonomie. La nouvelle BMW X5 xDrive45e associe un moteur essence six cylindres en ligne spécialement adapté pour ce modèle à un moteur électrique. Résultat : une puissance cumulée désormais portée à 290 kW/394 ch qui permet au SAV d’abattre le 0 à 100 km/h en seulement 5,6 secondes (valeur provisoire). Avec une autonomie électrique de 80 km*, soit presque trois fois plus que sa devancière, la nouvelle BMW X5 xDrive45e peut facilement effectuer les trajets quotidiens en conduite 100 % électrique, sans la moindre émission de CO₂ locale. Par ailleurs, la BMW X5 xDrive45e se montre tout aussi adaptée aux trajets au long cours grâce à son réservoir de 69 litres. Les technologies de pointe mises à l’œuvre dans son système de motorisation hybride rechargeable permettent au SAV d’afficher une consommation réduite pouvant atteindre 2,1 l/100 km* et de limiter les émissions de CO₂ jusqu’à 49 g/km* en fonction de la situation de conduite. Particulièrement polyvalent, le coffre constitue un autre atout pour les longs trajets grâce à son volume utile de 500 l pouvant être porté à 1716 l : un espace à peine moins généreux que celui offert par les variantes à motorisation thermique.

Outre sa polyvalence hors du commun, la BMW X5 xDrive45e se démarque également par sa transmission intégrale intelligente BMW xDrive. Le système pilote la transmission de la motricité produite par les deux moteurs aux quatre roues pour offrir une conduite sportive riche en sensations sur route et des performances inégalées en tout-terrain.

Les variantes hybrides rechargeables de la nouvelle BMW Série 7 proposent le meilleur des deux mondes : la sportivité, le confort sur les longues distances et l’ambiance apaisante d’une berline de luxe sont ainsi associés à la conduite sobre et silencieuse d’un modèle hybride. Leur autonomie électrique, qui s’établit entre 50 et 58 km selon les modèles*, progresse de près de 30 % par rapport à la génération précédente. Les variantes hybrides rechargeables proposées sont la BMW 745e (consommation de carburant en cycle mixte : 2,3 – 2,1 l/100 km ; consommation électrique en cycle mixte : 15,6 – 15,1 kWh/100 km ; émissions de CO₂ en cycle mixte : 52 – 48 g/km*), la version longue BMW 745Le (consommation de carburant en cycle mixte : 2,3 – 2,2 l/100 km ; consommation électrique en cycle mixte : 15,7 – 15,6 kWh/100 km ; émissions de CO₂ en cycle mixte : 53 – 50 g/km) et la BMW 745Le xDrive (consommation de carburant en cycle mixte : 2,6 – 2,3 l/100 km ; consommation électrique en cycle mixte : 16,3 – 15,8 kWh/100 km ; émissions de CO₂ en cycle mixte : 59 – 52 g/km*) dotée elle aussi d’un empattement allongé, mais aussi de la transmission intégrale intelligente. Le groupe motopropulseur est désormais composé d’un moteur essence six cylindres en ligne spécialement adapté pour ce modèle et d’un moteur électrique. Le mode de conduite SPORT permet au conducteur de libérer une puissance cumulée de 290 kW/394 ch. La nouvelle BMW 745e abat le 0 à 100 km/h en 5,2 secondes, la nouvelle BMW 745Le en 5,3 secondes et la nouvelle BMW 745Le xDrive en 5,1 secondes.

BMW 530e Berline et BMW 225xe Active Tourer avec batteries lithium-ion optimisées et autonomie étendue.

Grâce aux dernières avancées techniques en matière de cellules de batterie, les variantes hybrides rechargeables de la BMW Série 5 et de la BMW Série 2 offrent de nouvelles possibilités en matière de conduite sans émissions locales. Bien que ses dimensions demeurent inchangées, la nouvelle batterie lithium-ion de la variante hybride rechargeable de la BMW Série 5 Berline est dotée d’une capacité énergétique de 12,0 kWh, contre 9,2 kWh sur sa devancière. Résultat : une augmentation de plus de 30 % de l’autonomie électrique, qui atteint désormais 64 km*. En fonction de la situation de conduite, la BMW 530e Berline peut afficher une consommation de carburant pouvant atteindre 1,7 l/100 km* et des émissions de CO2 de 38 g/km*. La variante à transmission intégrale BMW 530e xDrive Berline, disponible dans le monde entier à compter de juillet 2019, est quant à elle dotée d’une autonomie de 57 km* et peut afficher une consommation de carburant en cycle mixte pouvant atteindre 1,9 l/100 km* et un niveau d’émissions de CO₂ de 44 g/km* en fonction de la situation de conduite.

La BMW 225xe Active Tourer est équipée de cellules de batterie à la pointe de la technologie qui contribuent à réduire encore davantage la consommation et à porter l’autonomie électrique à 47 km* (+ 25 %). La batterie lithium-ion conserve les mêmes dimensions, mais voit sa capacité énergétique passer de 7,7 kWh à 9,7 kWh. En fonction de la situation de conduite, la BMW 225xe Active Tourer peut afficher une consommation de carburant en cycle mixte de 1,9 l/100 km*, une consommation énergétique en cycle mixte de 14,7 kWh/100 km et des émissions de CO₂ de 43 g/100 km*. Spécifiquement réglée pour les modèles hybrides, la transmission intégrale confère à la BMW 225xe Active Tourer une conduite sportive et polyvalente. Elle bénéficie de série et en option de nombreux systèmes modernes d’assistance à la conduite, mais aussi des dernières innovations en matière de connectivité intelligente et de services numériques. La recharge de la batterie haute tension s’en retrouve facilitée et l’expérience de conduite électrique n’en est que plus intense.

Une batterie à la pointe de la technologie, un nouveau système d’exploitation et des services numériques novateurs pour une expérience de conduite électrique hors du commun.

Outre leur batterie ultramoderne, les variantes hybrides rechargeables de la nouvelle BMW Série 3 Berline, de la nouvelle BMW X5 et de la nouvelle BMW Série 7 se distinguent également par leur nouveau système d’affichage et de commande et leur offre de services numériques novateurs, assurant une expérience de conduite électrique toujours plus intense. La dotation de série des nouveaux modèles comprend l’offre BMW Live Cockpit Navigation Pro et ses écrans de conception nouvelle installés dans le combiné d’instruments et le Control Display, sur lesquels sont affichés l’état de chargement de la batterie, l’autonomie électrique et le mode actuel du système hybride avec une présentation clairement structurée. L’interface dédiée à l’expérience de conduite intègre désormais les boutons de sélection du mode de conduite, qui permettent d’activer les modes SPORT pour un réglage particulièrement dynamique, ADAPTIVE pour un réglage adapté à la situation et au style de conduite ainsi que les modes de gestion de l’hybridation HYBRID, ELECTRIC et BATTERY CONTROL. Activé par défaut, le mode HYBRID assure une hybridation équilibrée et une interaction optimale entre le moteur thermique et le bloc électrique. Le conducteur peut cependant choisir le mode ELECTRIC comme réglage par défaut via le menu iDrive. Si le conducteur appuie à deux reprises sur le bouton HYBRID, le mode de conduite bascule sur un fonctionnement optimisé en efficience (HYBRID ECO PRO). Par ailleurs, le mode croisière contribue également à la réduction de la consommation de carburant.

Le système intelligent de gestion de l’énergie bénéficie de technologies optimisées, mais aussi de l’association avec les fonctionnalités de navigation. Résultat : l’interaction entre le moteur thermique et le bloc électrique s’adapte encore plus précisément à l’itinéraire choisi et à la situation de conduite. Par ailleurs, dans les nouvelles BMW 330e Berline et BMW X5 xDrive45e, un calculateur s’appuie sur les données de navigation et sur les informations recueillies par les capteurs de la voiture pour optimiser l’efficience de la récupération d’énergie au freinage en mode HYBRID ECO PRO. Par exemple, la décélération induite par l’approche d’une intersection ou d’un véhicule circulant sur la même voie permet de mettre en œuvre une récupération d’énergie particulièrement intense.

Durant la recharge de la batterie, le tableau de bord 100 % numérique affiche des informations sous forme graphique indiquant le niveau de charge actuel de la batterie et donc l’autonomie électrique de la voiture. L’affichage, dont le design varie en fonction des modèles, indique également l’intensité du courant disponible sur la borne de recharge et alerte le conducteur quand la batterie est entièrement rechargée.

Grâce aux nouveaux services numériques, recharger la batterie de son véhicule en déplacement n’a jamais été aussi pratique et agréable. Par exemple, quand le conducteur recherche une borne de recharge avec le système de navigation, l’affichage lui indique les hôtels, restaurants, cafés et autres points d’intérêts culturels à proximité. Le conducteur peut également consulter les horaires d’affluence des différentes bornes de recharge. Enfin, grâce au service ChargeNow de BMW, les conducteurs peuvent réserver une borne de recharge compatible pour une durée limitée depuis leur voiture (à confirmer quand ce service sera disponible en Belgique et au Luxembourg).

Les BMW électrifiées émettent un son caractéristique via un système d’enceintes pour permettre aux piétons d’entendre le véhicule et d’assurer ainsi leur sécurité. La voiture se révèle notamment parfaitement audible à faible vitesse, tout en préservant le confort acoustique des occupants.

Munich. Consistent further development of BMW eDrive technology once again ensures enhanced driving pleasure in the purely electrically powered models of the BMW i brand. With cell capacity increased to 120 ampere hours (Ah) and a gross energy content of 42.2 kilowatt hours (kWh), a new generation of high-voltage batteries enables the BMW i3 (120 Ah) (combined power consumption: 13.1 kWh/100 km; combined CO₂ emissions: 0 g/km)* and the BMW i3s (120 Ah) (combined power consumption: 14.6 – 14.0 kWh/100 km; combined CO₂ emissions: 0 g/km)* to achieve a significantly further enhanced range as of November 2018. In everyday use, the two models are now able to cover a distance of 260 kilometres*** – an increase of almost 30 per cent.

In this way, BMW i is consolidating its position as an innovation leader and trendsetter in the field of pioneering electromobility with hallmark brand driving pleasure and excellent everyday practicality. Since the market launch of the BMW i3, the storage capacity of its high-voltage battery has been doubled, thereby increasing the car's range as well. At the same time as the introduction of the new battery, a new body finish, a new colour for the optional interior design Loft and adaptive LED headlights with matrix function for the high beam are also available for the BMW i3 and BMW i3s. In future, a sports package will be available for the BMW i3 that includes black wheel arch surrounds and a sports suspension with specific dampers, springs and stabilisers, lowered suspension, a widened track and 20-inch light alloy wheels. The optimised guidance system in the tile design of the iDrive operating system is now available in conjunction with the optional navigation system Business. In future, the options telephony with wireless charging and wireless LAN hotspot will also be available for the BMW i3 and BMW i3s.

Ongoing progress in battery development: increased energy content while dimensions remain the same.

Like the electric motors and power electronics, the high-voltage batteries are an integral part of the BMW eDrive technology used in BMW i automobiles and developed independently by the BMW Group. Its lithium-ion cells are produced exclusively based on specifications defined by the BMW Group. Based on sound research and development work conducted in close cooperation with the manufacturer of the battery cells, consistent optimisation of the storage units is achieved in terms of power output, range, safety and durability. Installed deep in the floor of the vehicle, the high-voltage battery is produced at the BMW plant in Dingolfing and consists of eight modules, each with twelve storage cells: the latest advancements have resulted in a capacity of 120 Ah along with a gross energy content of 42.2 kWh – while the size remains unchanged. This is yet another major step towards increased range. For comparison: at the market launch of the BMW i3 in 2013, the equivalent figures were 60 Ah and 22.6 kWh, while the second-generation battery introduced in 2016 reaches a level of 94 Ah and 33 kWh.

In addition to vehicle weight and the installation space taken up by the high-voltage battery, driving performance and energy consumption likewise remain virtually unaltered by the increased range achieved by the latest advancements. The BMW i3, powered by a 125 kW/170 hp electric motor, accelerates in 7.3 seconds from zero to 100 km/h, while the BMW i3s with 135 kW/184 hp completes the standard sprint in 6.9 seconds. This means that the two models both set the benchmark for sporty performance within their vehicle segment. Thanks to spontaneous power delivery as is typical of electric motors, the BMW i3 and BMW i3s even reach the level of sports cars that have a considerably more powerful combustion engine: here the figures are 5.1 and 4.3 seconds respectively for the sprint from 80 to 120 km/h.

The combined power consumption of the BMW i3 (120 Ah) is 13.1 kWh per 100 kilometres*, while the BMW i3s (120 Ah) has a power consumption of 14.6 kWh to 14.0 kWh per 100 kilometres*. The high efficiency of the electric motor and the enhanced battery capacity result in a range that is nearly 30 per cent higher than that of the predecessor models. The range of the BMW i3 (120 Ah) is 359 kilometres* (previously 290 to 300 km) according to NEDC, and 285 to 310 kilometres** (previously 235 – 255 km) according to WLTP. For the BMW i3s (120 Ah), a range of 330 to 345 kilometres* (previously 280 km) has been calculated according to NEDC, and a range of 270 to 285 kilometres** (previously 235 –245 km) according to WLTP. In everyday conditions, both models now achieve a range of 260 kilometres*** (previously 200 km).

The high-quality charging electronics of the BMW i3 and BMW i3s allows fast and flexible refreshment of the energy reserves. The standard charging cable is designed to be plugged into a conventional household socket. Here the battery can be charged to up to 80 per cent of its full power in approximately 15 hours with a charging capacity of 2.4 kW. Connection to the BMW i Wallbox enables rapid three-phase charging with a capacity of 11 kW. Here the time required to achieve an 80 per cent charge of the large-capacity high-voltage battery is 3.2 hours. The power electronics and high-voltage battery in the BMW i3 and BMW i3s can also be used in conjunction with quick-charging stations that run on DC power. Here the charging capacity is 50 kW and the high-voltage battery reaches 80 per cent of its total power in just 42 minutes.

With its battery capacity increased to 42.2 kWh, the latest version of the BMW i3 also follows the brand's holistic concept, applicable since market launch and geared towards responsible use of resources: this includes not just locally emissions-free power but also material selection and production techniques as well as mobility services. The BMW i3 (120 Ah) and the BMW i3s (120 Ah) have a much more favourable CO₂ footprint across the entire vehicle lifecycle – from raw material extraction and manufacture through to use and recycling – and this makes for significantly lower global warming potential than is the case with comparable, conventionally powered automobiles.

Sports package as a new option for the BMW i3.

In future, the new sports package will enable additional emphasis of brand-based driving pleasure derived from locally emissions-free mobility in the BMW i3. The key element of the new option is the sports suspension, which is a standard feature in the BMW i3s and includes specific dampers, springs and stabilisers, a suspension lowered by 10 millimetres, a widened track and 20-inch light alloy wheels in Jet Black or Bicolor finish with mixed tyres. This increase in driving dynamics is visually underscored by means of black wheel arch surrounds, which also form part of the BMW i sports package.

New body finishes, adaptive LED headlights, optimised controls and connectivity.

Since 2014 the BMW i3 has been the world's best-selling electrically powered vehicle in the premium compact segment. On the streets of urban conurbations it has come to stand as a symbol of pioneering mobility. Its characteristic shaping is closely linked to the LifeDrive vehicle architecture, which combines an aluminium chassis with a passenger cell made carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP). With the introduction of the new battery generation, the design of the BMW i3 and the BMW i3s has been enriched with fresh accentuations. The choice of body finish for the two models has been extended to include the new variant Jucaro Beige metallic with accentuations in Frozen Grey. Meanwhile the exterior paint finishes Mineral Grey metallic, Imperial Blue metallic, Melbourne Red metallic, Capparis White and Fluid Black are still available. To match the new body finish, the optional interior design Loft now includes upholstery in the fabric/Sensatec combination "Electronic" – in Carum Grey with accentuations in brown and interior surfaces in Electronic Brown.

As an alternative to the standard LED headlights, adaptive LED headlights are now available with an automatic, selective dip function for the high beam. The innovative matrix technology for the high beam increases visibility range while at the same avoiding any dazzle effect on other road users. For this purpose it is divided into four horizontally arranged segments which can be activated and deactivated independently of each other at speeds of over 70 km/h. The high beam segments are controlled based on the traffic situation. As soon as the front camera registers an oncoming vehicle or a vehicle travelling ahead in the same direction, the space in which this vehicle is located is illuminated using the low beam only. This is effected by deactivation of the matrix high beam segments that are responsible for this area. The remaining areas of the road continue to be illuminated by the high beam. Adaptive LED headlight functions also include the cornering light and the high beam assistant.

The optimised menu display for the iDrive operating system with buttons in tile structure and in live mode is now also available in conjunction with the optional navigation system Business. This means that the desired content is now available even more quickly and conveniently. What is more, the program of optional equipment items now also includes the option of telephony with wireless charging, which allows compatible mobile phones to be recharged without use of a cable. The wireless LAN hotspot, likewise newly available for the BMW i3 and the BMW i3s, provides a fast online connection for up to ten end devices inside the vehicle.

Avec un temps de réponse 50 fois plus rapide pour une meilleure traction et une meilleure stabilité de conduite sur route lors de conditions défavorables et lors de la récupération de l’énergie de freinage.

Munich. The BMW i3 sets standards worldwide for driving pleasure in a purely electrically-driven vehicle. Key factors here are not only the increased output of the motor in the new BMW i3s, but also the innovative traction control system adapted specifically to the instantaneous power deliver of the BMW eDrive system. Presented for the first time in the new BMW i3s (270 Nm at 0 rpm, 135 kW / 184 HP, power consumption combined in European NEFZ test-cycle*: 14.3 kWh/100 km; CO2 emissions combined: 0 g/km), the system improves traction and driving stability in adverse weather and road conditions when pulling away, in active Brake Energy Regeneration phases and when accelerating out of tight corners. At the heart of this innovation is the control system’s 50-times-faster routine, made possible because – unlike conventional driving stability systems – the control process is now calculated directly in the powertrain instead of in a remote unit requiring long signal paths. This development provides further evidence of BMW i as a pioneer of innovative technology within the BMW Group.

“With their high levels of torque and instantaneous responses to every movement of the accelerator, electric motors already make significantly higher demands on driving stability systems than conventional power units,” explains Peter Langen, Head of Chassis Development at BMW.

That’s why the BMW engineers developed a new type of system geared squarely to the demands of electric mobility.
The positive impact of these shorter control cycles is not reserved for purely electrically driven cars; indeed, this innovative traction control system also optimises traction, driving stability and driving dynamics in vehicles with combustion engines. It will therefore be fitted in BMW and MINI models with front-, rear- and all-wheel drive to deliver noticeably greater assurance and driving pleasure when road conditions make pulling away difficult.
