<p>
<strong>Munich.</strong> The BMW Group is consistently driving its
  electrification strategy forward and presents a further plug-in hybrid
  model for an especially popular and dynamically growing vehicle
  category. In the new BMW X1 xDrive25e, the intelligently controlled
  interaction between a fuel combustion engine and an electric motor as
  well as locally emissions-free travel can now be experienced in the
  Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) premium segment. A highly efficient
  electric drive and a latest-generation lithium-ion battery enable an
  electrically powered range of up to 57 kilometres*. With an average
  fuel consumption from 2.0 litres per 100 kilometres* and
  CO<sub>2</sub> emissions from 43 grams per kilometre*, the new BMW X1
  xDrive25e sets a benchmark within its competitive field. Its combined
  power consumption is from 13.5 kWh per 100 kilometres*. The hybrid
  specific all-wheel drive with its fast and precise distribution of
  power between the front and rear wheels delivers a high level of
  driving pleasure and thrilling agility.</p>
<p><img src="https://content.presspage.com/uploads/3240/38da3e12-9882-48c4-ac69-a01eb28b60e9/P90365497_highRes_the-new-bmw-x1-xdriv.jpg"/> The plug-in hybrid system of the new BMW X1 xDrive
  25e consists of a 1.5 litre 3-cylinder petrol engine with BMW
  TwinPower Turbo Technology and an electric drive specially developed
  for this model. It  is taken from the eDrive technology modular system
  of the BMW Group. The petrol engines mobilises a peak output of
  92 kW/125 hp and a maximum torque of 220 Newton metres. It transfers
  its power to a 6-speed Steptronic transmission and drives the front
  wheels. The electric motor generates an output of 70 kW/95 hp and
  delivers 165 Nm of torque to the rear wheels via a single-speed
  transmission. This makes for a hybrid specific all-wheel drive, which
  gives the BMW X1 xDrive25e a unique level of agility in its
  competitive field delivering hallmark SAV driving pleasure. The highly
  responsive power delivery of the electric motor, which delivers its
  full torque spontaneously from standstill enables the driver to react
  extremely quickly to changing driving conditions. In addition the
  position of the electric motor above the rear axle contributes to the
  harmoniously balanced axle load distribution of the new BMW X1
  xDrive25e. In conjunction with the intelligently controlled
  interaction between the two power units, it provides maximum driving
  stability, ride comfort and dynamic response.</p>
<p>Together the combustion engine and electric motor produce a system
  output of 162 kW/220 hp. The maximum system torque of both drive units
  is 385 Nm. The new BMW X1 xDrive25e accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in
  7.0 seconds. In addition, the electric boost provided by the drive
  system ensures additional safety reserves and intense sporty flair
  when overtaking on country roads, for example. The top speed of the
  plug-in hybrid model is 192 km/h.</p>
<p>With the very latest battery cell technology the new BMW X1 xDrive25e
  possesses generous reserves of electrical energy enabling the driver
  to conduct the main share of everyday travel locally emissions-free
  with the electric motor alone. The latest-generation lithium-ion
  battery has a gross energy content of 9.7 kWh. This allows for an
  electrically powered range of up to 57 kilometres* in the BMW X1
  xDrive25e. The high-voltage battery can be charged at conventional
  household sockets using the standard-equipment charging cable. The
  battery can be fully charged in around five hours in this way. Using a
  BMW i Wallbox, the relevant charging operation takes less than 3.6
  hours. The charging socket is located under a separate flap on the
  front left side wall of the car.</p>
<p><img src="https://content.presspage.com/uploads/3240/a87805fb-e57a-4c76-92e6-0b9164935661/P90365499_highRes_the-new-bmw-x1-xdriv.jpg"/> The driver can use the eDrive button on the centre
  console to influence the drive system’s operating mode. In the AUTO
  eDRIVE standard setting, the intelligent drive system ensures optimum
  interaction between the two power units in all driving situations.
  Navigation data is also used to manage the plug-in hybrid system to
  increase both efficiency as well as driving pleasure. When navigation
  guidance is activated, the anticipatory energy management can also
  take into account the route profile for controlling the drive system.
  The MAX eDrive mode can be activated for maximum use of the electric
  drive. In this mode, the new BMW X1 xDrive25e reaches a top speed of
  135 km/h. In addition there is also the SAVE BATTERY mode. It enables
  the driver to maintain the charging state of the high-voltage battery
  while driving or to increase it by means of recuperation. In this way
  battery capacity can be saved for later use when driving in purely
  electric mode in the city for example. The driving experience switch
  can be used independent of the drive mode. In the new BMW X1
  xDrive25e, the driver can use this to activate the COMFORT, SPORT and
  ECO PRO modes in order to influence the drive and suspension functions
  as well as to operate the electrically powered comfort systems.</p>
<p>Due to is long electric range and its low CO<sub>2</sub> emissions,
  the new BMW X1 xDrive25e (depending on equipment) meets the criteria
  which have been stipulated for the classification as an electric
  vehicle in Germany and the associated preferential treatment in public
  road traffic. In addition it also qualifies for reduced company car
  taxation in Germany. Only half the gross list price is used as a basis
  when calculating the monetary benefit from private use of the company car.</p>
<p><img src="https://content.presspage.com/uploads/3240/235b7070-1823-44cb-b75a-2bf8a5157a00/P90365487_highRes_the-new-bmw-x1-xdriv.jpg"/> The new BMW X1 xDrive25e features acoustic
  pedestrian protection as standard. When driving electrically at speeds
  of up to 30 km/h, an unmistakeable sound designed specifically for
  electrified BMW models is generated to alert other road users to the
  approaching car without impairing the acoustic comfort of the vehicle
  occupants. In addition the standard equipment of the compact SAV with
  plug-in hybrid drive also includes 17 inch light alloy wheels, 2-zone
  automatic air conditioning as well as auxiliary air conditioning. The
  interior can be pre-conditioned remotely via BMW Connected using a
  smartphone. As an alternative to the basic version, the new BMW X1
  xDrive25e is available as a Sport Line, xLine and M Sport model. In
  addition to the respective equipment packages, virtually all options
  of the conventionally powered BMW X1 are available for the plug-in
  hybrid model.</p>
<p>The positioning of the high-voltage battery underneath the rear seats
  not only leads to a very low centre of gravity, which optimises the
  agility of the BMW X1 xDrive25, but also to a slightly reduced
  transport capacity compared to the conventionally powered compact SAV
  model variants. The 450 litres luggage compartment volume is fully
  available in primary use. With a standard split of 40: 20: 40, the
  folding backrests enable this to be increased to 1,470 litres. A
  trailer tow hitch with detachable ballhead is optionally available for
  the new BMW X1 xDrive25e. The maximum trailer load is 750 kilograms.</p><div class="import-contacts-wrapper"><div class="import-contact">Contact presse: Jeroen Lissens<br/>Tél: +32-3-890-9708<br/>Adresse e-mail: <a href="mailto:jeroen.lissens@bmw.be">jeroen.lissens@bmw.be</a></div></div></div>]]></description><category><![CDATA[Press Release,X1,Technical Data,F48 LCI,Product,BMW]]></category>

<strong>Munich.</strong> Numerous new features in the area of drive
  technology enhance driving fun as well as reducing emissions in the
  current MINI models as of summer 2018. Emission control in all
  petrol-engine variants of the MINI 3 door, MINI 5 door and MINI
  Convertible as well as the MINI Clubman and MINI Countryman will
  include a particulate filter as of July 2018. The models of the
  British premium brand with this feature meet the particularly rigorous
  requirements of the Euro 6d-TEMP emission standard. This demonstrates
  how MINI consistently continues to pursue the optimisation of
  emissions in its current models. The diesel engine variants of the
  MINI Clubman and MINI Countryman have met the Euro 6d-TEMP standard
  since March 2018. Their emission control system includes not just a
  diesel particulate filter and an NO<sub>X </sub>storage catalytic
  converter but also an SCR catalytic converter which features a special
  urea injection (AdBlue) for highly effective reduction of nitrogen
  oxide emissions.<br/>
<br/><img src="https://content.presspage.com/uploads/3240/ac3cb13d-ac9f-4060-b8ab-389b3a4a3625/P90198580_highRes_mini-cooper-s-clubma.jpg"/> In addition, the relevant model variants of
  the MINI Clubman and MINI Countryman will be fitted with enhanced
  petrol engines as of July 2018. Here, optimised MINI TwinPower Turbo
  Technology especially benefits fuel consumption and emission levels.
  As an alternative to the standard manual transmission, the petrol
  engine models of the MINI Clubman and MINI Countryman will be
  available with a 7-speed Steptronic transmission in future.<br/>
<br/>
<strong>Thrilling shift dynamics, a high level of comfort, optimised
    convenience: <br/> 7-speed Steptronic transmission with double
  clutch.<br/></strong>Fast gear changes and a high level of internal
  efficiency are the properties of the 7-speed Steptronic transmission
  with double clutch available as an option for further variants of the
  successful MINI models in the premium compact segment from July 2018
  onwards. The use of two clutches when changing gear enables
  particularly sporty acceleration without torque interrupt. In addition
  to enhanced driving fun, the design principle adapted from motor
  racing also has all the comfort features of an automatic transmission.
  It ensures harmonious and acoustically barely perceptible changes in
  drive position, free of load change reactions in the engine – not just
  when sprinting but also when decelerating. The 7-speed Steptronic
  transmission with double clutch also enables use of the auto
  start/stop function and the coasting function to increase efficiency.
  Furthermore, the transmission control is networked with the navigation
  system if the vehicle is fitted with one. In this way, navigation data
  can be used to adapt the choice of gear perfectly to the route.
  Operation of the 7-speed Steptronic transmission with double clutch is
  by means of an electronic gear selector switch. This transmits the
  driver's instructions by means of electrical impulses to the
  transmission control.<br/>
<br/>From July 2018 onwards, the 7-speed Steptronic transmission with
  double clutch is also available as an option in combination with the
  enhanced petrol engines for the MINI Clubman and the MINI Countryman.
  The efficiency-optimised petrol engines fitted as standard with a
  particulate filter meet the requirements of the Euro 6d-TEMP emission
  standard. With the 7-speed Steptronic transmission, the combined fuel
  consumption figure for the MINI One Clubman and the
  MINI Cooper Clubman is now 5.7 litres per 100 kilometres in each case
  (CO<sub>2</sub> level: 130 g/km). The figures for the
  MINI Cooper S Clubman are 5.8 litres per 100 kilometres and 133 g/km.
  The combined fuel consumption and the CO<sub>2</sub> emissions level
  of the MINI One Countryman with 7-speed Steptronic transmission are
  5.9 litres per 100 kilometres and 135 – 134 g/km. For the
  MINI Cooper Countryman the figures are 5.9 to 5.8 litres per 100
  kilometres and 134 – 132 g/km). The corresponding figures measured in
  the MINI Cooper S Countryman are 6.0 litres and 138 – 136 g/km
  (figures depend on the tyre format selected). All fuel consumption and
  emissions figures were arrived at using the new WLTP measuring
  procedure and then adapted to NEDC for comparison purposes by means of correlation.<br/>
<br/>Even faster gear changes are enabled by the 7-speed Steptronic
  sports transmission, available as an additional option for the MINI
  Cooper S Clubman and the MINI Cooper S Countryman. Shift paddles are
  available at the steering wheel in this version of the automatic
  transmission for manual intervention in the choice of drive position.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<strong>As standard in the MINI Clubman and the MINI Countryman:
    automatic driving lights control.<br/></strong>An addition to the
  standard range of fittings for the MINI Clubman and the MINI
  Countryman from summer 2018 serves to enhance both comfort and safety.
  In future, the two MINI models in the premium compact segment will be
  fitted with automatic driving lights control as standard. This
  function ensures needs-oriented activation and deactivation of the
  headlights and rear lights depending on the light conditions in the
  environment of the vehicle. For this purpose, the driving light switch
  in both models can be turned to an additional position from July 2018:
  it is marked by a graphic symbol containing the letter "A".
  When using the automatic driving lights system, the lights are not
  only activated at night but also when dusk is falling and when
  visibility is poor due to the weather conditions, as well as when
  passing through tunnels or in dark multi-storey car parks.</p><div class="import-contacts-wrapper"><div class="import-contact">Contact presse: Christophe Weerts<br/>Tél: +32-3-890-9708<br/>Adresse e-mail: <a href="mailto:christophe.weerts@bmw.be">christophe.weerts@bmw.be</a></div></div></div>]]></description><category><![CDATA[Press Release,Coupé,Convertible,Countryman,Technical Data,Clubman,Cooper Convertible,Product,MINI]]></category>

  additional BMW iPerformance models will in future also be recognisable
  by their characteristic exterior design features. Other innovations
  taking effect as from July 2016 include the introduction of the
  optional features telephony with wireless charging and WLAN hotspot
  for additional series. Moreover, in conjunction with the optional
  navigation system Professional, the iDrive control system now also
  features a new menu display in tile format for the BMW 1 Series, the
  BMW 2 Series Coupe and the BMW 2 Series Convertible, models of the BMW
  3 Series and BMW 4 Series.</p>
<p>
  <strong>BMW 7 Series: New high-performance diesel engine and three
    BMW iPerformance models. </strong></p>
<p>With the latest innovations in the field of drive technology being
  introduced in the summer of 2016, the BMW 7 Series is yet again
  setting a fascinating example of dynamics and efficiency in the luxury
  sedan segment. An entirely newly developed straight six-cylinder
  diesel engine is making its debut in the models BMW 750d xDrive and
  BMW 750Ld xDrive. The BMW TwinPower Turbo technology featured in the
  3-litre power unit comprises four turbochargers, whose precisely
  coordinated function ensures an early onset of pulling power that
  continues right up into high engine speed ranges. With a peak output
  of 294 kW/400 hp and a maximum torque of 760 Newton metres, the new
  six-cylinder is the most powerful diesel engine ever used in a BMW
  model. With supreme power delivery and power transmission via the
  standard intelligent four-wheel drive system, the BMW 750d xDrive
  accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds (BMW 750Ld xDrive:
  4.7 seconds), also offering even more forward thrust at high speeds
  that can be felt intensively at any time during short bursts of speed.
  Furthermore, the new top-of-the-range diesel model excels through
  exceptionally low fuel consumption that is truly unique in this
  performance class. Combined fuel consumption of the BMW 750d xDrive
  and the BMW 750Ld xDrive is between 5.9 and 5.7 litres per
  100 kilometres and CO2 emissions are between 154 – 149 g/km (figures
  as per EU test cycle, depending on selected tyre size).</p>
<p>The BMW 7 Series iPerformance models will also be launched together
  with new diesel variants in the summer of 2016. The plug-in hybrid
  drive system including BMW eDrive technology from BMW i automobile
  development will become available for the models BMW 740e iPerformance
  featuring a standard wheelbase, for the BMW 740Le iPerformance with a
  long wheelbase and for the BMW 740Le xDrive iPerformance with
  intelligent four-wheel drive. Together, the combustion engine and
  electric motor featured in these models generate a system output of
  240 kW/326 hp, their intelligently controlled interaction ensuring
  impressively spontaneous power delivery resulting in exemplary
  efficiency. Furthermore, driving in solely electric mode is possible
  with a vehicle range of up to 44 to 48 kilometres
  (BMW 740Le xDrive iPerformance: 41 – 45 kilometres). The sprint from 0
  to 100 km/h is completed in 5.4 seconds with the
  BMW 740e iPerformance, in 5.5 seconds with the BMW 740Le iPerformance
  and in 5.3 seconds with the BMW 740Le xDrive iPerformance. Average
  combined fuel consumption per 100 kilometres is between
  2.2 and 2.0 litres (BMW 740Le xDrive iPerformance: 2.5 – 2.1 litres).
  CO2 emissions are between 50 and 45 grams per kilometre
  (BMW 740e iPerformance) or 51 and 45 grams per kilometre
  (BMW 740Le iPerformance) or 56 and 49 grams per kilometre
  (BMW 740Le xDrive iPerformance) respectively. Combined power
  consumption is 13.9 kWh/100 km to 12.5 kWh/100 km. (figures as per EU
  test cycle for plug-in hybrid vehicles, depending on selected tyre size).</p>
<p>
  <strong>BMW M Performance models of the BMW 1 Series and BMW 2 Series:
    New engine generation with enhanced power and optimised efficiency.</strong></p>
<p>From July 2016, BMW M Performance automobiles of the BMW 1 Series and
  BMW 2 Series will underscore their outstanding sporting character even
  more intensely with an extremely powerful straight six-cylinder petrol
  engine of the latest generation. Compared with the previous engine,
  the newly developed 3-litre power unit featuring M Performance Twin
  Power Turbo technology now mobilises 250 kW/340 hp following a power
  increase of 10 kW/14 hp and delivers a maximum of 500 Newton metres of
  torque. As a result, the BMW M Performance models now come up to the
  performance level of the BMW 1 Series M Coupe, which was built from
  2011 to 2012. They complete the spurt from 0 to 100 km/h by up to 0.3
  seconds faster than the predecessor models, whilst both fuel
  consumption and CO2 emissions as per EU test cycle are up to 7 percent
  lower than before. The increase in power under the bonnet and the
  resulting enhanced dynamics are also expressed in the new model
  designations for the BMW M140i 3-door, the BMW M140i 5-door, the
  BMW M240i Coupe and the BMW M240i Convertible. They are optionally
  available with BMW xDrive intelligent four-wheel drive technology.</p>
<p>With the standard 6-speed manual transmission, the models BMW M140i
  3-door and BMW M140i 5-door accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in
  4.8 seconds or with the optional 8-speed Steptronic sports
  transmission in 4.6 seconds respectively. Fuel consumption as per EU
  test cycle is 7.8 litres per 100 kilometres (automatic: 7.1 litres)
  and CO2 emissions 179 grams per kilometre (163 g/km). The BMW
  M140i xDrive 3-door and the BMW M140i xDrive 5-door come as standard
  with an 8-speed Steptronic sports transmission and both reach the 100
  km/h mark from a standstill in 4.4 seconds. Their combined fuel
  consumption is 7.4 litres per 100 kilometres and CO2 emissions are
  169 grams per kilometre.</p>
<p>The BMW M Performance models of the BMW 2 Series are also optionally
  available with BMW xDrive intelligent four-wheel drive technology and
  are in this case equipped as standard with the 8-speed Steptronic
  sports transmission. The BMW M240i Coupe sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in
  4.8 seconds (automatic: 4.6 seconds) and has a combined fuel
  consumption of 7.8 litres per 100 kilometres (7.1 litres) as per EU
  test cycle. CO2 emissions are 179 grams per kilometre (163 g/km). The
  BMW M240i xDrive Coupe completes the sprint to 100 km/h in 4.4 seconds
  and achieves an average fuel consumption of 7.4 litres per
  100 kilometres as well as a CO2 emission level of 169 grams per
  kilometre. The BMW M240i Convertible accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in
  4.9 seconds (automatic: 4.7 seconds). Average fuel consumption is
  8.3 litres per 100 kilometres (automatic: 7.4 litres) and CO2
  emissions are 189 grams per kilometre (169 g/km). The
  BMW M240i xDrive Convertible sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds
  and has an average fuel consumption of 7.8 litres per 100 kilometres
  as per EU test cycle and a CO2 emission level of 179 grams per kilometre.</p>

  <strong>Characteristic design features for the BMW iPerformance
  models.<br /></strong>With the market launch of the first plug-in
  hybrid models, BMW eDrive technology comprising electric motors,
  lithium ion high-performance batteries and intelligent energy
  management have now been added to the BMW brand’s vehicle range. In
  addition to the three BMW 7 Series plug-in hybrid models available
  starting July 2016, three further segments offer a choice of vehicles
  combining a combustion engine with an electric drive. In future, they
  will bear the model designations BMW 225xe iPerformance Active Tourer,
  BMW 330e iPerformance Sedan and BMW X5 xDrive40e iPerformance. The
  technology transfer from BMW i automobile development, helping them
  attain a new level of dynamics and path-breaking efficiency, is now
  underscored by characteristic exterior design features.</p>
<p>In addition to the “eDrive” logo on the C pillar, the
  BMW iPerformance models will feature a BMW i logo on the front left
  and right sidewalls, blue hubcaps and a BMW kidney grill with slats
  painted in typical BMW i blue. From December 2016, these new features
  will be standard on the BMW X5 xDrive40e iPerformance and on all
  further BMW iPerformance models as early as from July 2016. Analogous
  to the model name plates on all BMW models, specific design features
  on BMW iPerformance models can also be omitted if the customer so
  wishes. Further equipment features originally designed for the BMW i3
  and the BMW i8 and which are also available as standard or as options
  for all BMW iPerformance models, include hybrid-specific BMW
  ConnectedDrive services as well as the complete BMW i 360° ELECTRIC portfolio.</p>
<p>
  <strong>New from BMW ConnectedDrive: BMW iDrive with optimized menu
    display, telephony with wireless charging and WLAN hotspot available
    for further models. </strong></p>
<p>From the summer of 2016, three new features from BMW ConnectedDrive,
  which were previously only available for the BMW 7 Series and BMW 6
  Series, will also find their way to the BMW 1 Series, the BMW 2 Series
  Coupe and the BMW 2 Series Convertible, the BMW 3 Series and BMW 4
  Series. A new, extremely clearly structured menu display and a higher
  screen resolution for the Control Display will in future optimize the
  control of vehicle, infotainment, navigation and communication
  functions via the iDrive controller. In conjunction with the
  navigation system Professional, the on-board monitor no longer
  displays the main menu and control options for the various functions
  in lists, but in the form of adjacently arranged tile symbols.
  Furthermore, the speech recognition feature of the navigation system
  Professional has been supplemented by the function Natural Language,
  with which spoken instructions can be given not only as predefined
  text modules, but also freely formulated in complete sentences.</p>
<p>The optional feature telephony with wireless charging enhances
  comfort when using mobile phones inside the vehicle. Inductively
  chargeable smartphones can be supplied wirelessly with electricity
  during the journey using the mobile telephone facility provided for
  this purpose in the centre console. Apart from the integration of the
  smartphone into the vehicle operating system, the new option also
  includes a connection to the exterior antenna and two USB ports as
  well as the WLAN hotspot function, which facilitates high-speed
  Internet connectivity for up to eight mobile end devices.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Wider choice of leather seats for the BMW 1 Series, BMW 2
    Series, BMW 3 Series and BMW 4 Series.</strong></p>
