Al vijf decennia
  lang staat dit icoon voor sportief rijplezier, een onmiskenbaar
  aantrekkelijk design en voortdurende vooruitgang. Een erfenis waaraan
  elke generatie van de BMW 3-serie zich verbindt. De nieuwe, volledig
  elektrische BMW i3 versterkt het vertrouwde karakter van de BMW 3
  Reeks met extra, unieke kenmerken. </p>
<p>//</p>
<div>
  <p>As the second model in the Neue Klasse, it represents a
    technological quantum leap into a new era. The first all-electric
    BMW 3 Series launches as the BMW i3 50 xDrive, which has an electric
    motor on both the front and rear axles. The combined system power
    output is 345 kW/469 hp<sup>1</sup>, the maximum torque is 645
    Nm.<sup>1</sup> The highly efficient sixth-generation BMW eDrive
    technology, together with the new BMW Panoramic iDrive and Heart of
    Joy, delivers driving pleasure on a level never experienced before.
    With BMW Symbiotic Drive, the assisted driving experience is also
    entering a new era. The BMW i3 also stands for a modern
    interpretation of the hallmark design features of a BMW Sedan.</p>
  <p>As a representative of the new design language, the new BMW i3 is
    immediately recognisable as a BMW 3 Series – assured, dynamic and
    intelligent. The hallmark BMW sporty silhouette proportions are
    reflected in the new 2.5-box design. Notable features are the long
    wheelbase, the greenhouse that slopes towards the rear and the short
    overhangs. The four-eyed face is familiar, yet still new. The BMW
    radiator grille and twin headlights merge into an innovative light
    signature, creating a powerful and expressive unit. The rear end,
    featuring prominently horizontal rear lights, further highlights
    precision and technological progress. The prominently flared wheel
    arches emphasise the sporty, wide stance of the new BMW i3. The
    interior offers a high level of spaciousness and makes full use of
    all the possibilities of the vehicle concept, which is consistently
    geared towards electromobility. At the same time, the interior
    represents driver-oriented sportiness. The new BMW Panoramic iDrive
    not only defines the modern and inviting interior, but also ushers
    in a new level of hallmark BMW driver orientation.</p>
  <p>Sportiness and driving pleasure are invariably embedded in the DNA
    of the BMW 3 Series. The new BMW i3 sets new standards. Maximising
    the unmatched capabilities of electromobility, it offers
    impressively precise, effortless, and assured handling. The Heart of
    Joy high-performance computer shapes the BMW i3 driving experience.
    Its responses are ten times faster than in previous systems.
    Together with three other superbrain high-performance computers, the
    Heart of Joy forms the centrepiece of the new software and
    electronics architecture.</p>
  <p>The new BMW i3 stands out for its excellent suitability for long
    journeys. Its range is up to 900 kilometres<sup>1</sup> (in
    accordance with the WLTP test cycle). DC charging capacities of up
    to 400 kW also drastically reduce charging times. The DC fast
    charger can recharge energy for up to 400 km<sup>1</sup> in 10
    minutes (in accordance with ISO 12906 in the WLTP cycle).
    Sixth-generation BMW eDrive technology provides the prerequisites
    for this rapid progress. It comprises highly efficient electric
    motors, 800-volt technology and new high-voltage batteries with new
    round cells. The cell-to-pack design used enables high energy
    densities at pack level and a flatter high-voltage battery. The BMW
    i3 also features the bidirectional charging functions
    Vehicle-to-Load (optional AC charging Professional required),
    Vehicle-to-Home and Vehicle-to-Grid charging functions.</p>
  <p>The BMW i3 is manufactured at the BMW Group plant in Munich, which
    is the home plant of the BMW Group. For more than a hundred years,
    the plant in Milbertshofen, in the north of Munich, has been
    producing premium vehicles. Over the last four years, the plant has
    seen significant modernisation: Alongside a new body shop, a
    cutting-edge vehicle assembly area incorporating logistics space has
    been constructed. The new buildings are in their final stages of
    expansion. Production of the new BMW i3 will start in these halls
    from August 2026. The first vehicles will be delivered from autumn
    this year. One year later, the production portfolio will be switched
    to exclusively fully electric vehicles of the Neue Klasse. The plant
    conversion includes a large number of modernisation measures.</p>

  <strong>Al bijna vijftig jaar lang vertegenwoordigt de BMW 3 Reeks het
    hart van het merk BMW. Hij belichaamt sportief rijplezier in het
    segment van de premium middenklassers en heeft in de loop van zijn
    zeven modelgeneraties keer op keer nieuwe normen gevestigd voor het
    design, de rijdynamiek en de technologische innovaties in zijn
    segment. Het karakter van de huidige BMW 3 Reeks-generatie is tevens
    een schoolvoorbeeld van onwrikbare vooruitgang.</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Update voor de wereldwijde bestseller onder de premium middenklassers. </strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>De uitgebreide herzieningen die voor modeljaar 2022 werden
  geïntroduceerd op het vlak van design, aandrijving, digitalisering en
  uitrusting, worden nog aangevuld met een nieuwe reeks updates, die de
  visuele aantrekkingskracht en baanbrekende moderniteit van de wagens
  naar ongekende hoogten tilt. Nieuwe hoogspanningsbatterijen vergroten
  het elektrische rijbereik van de plug-in-hybridemodellen tot maximaal
  101 kilometer in de WLTP-cyclus. De nieuwe afstelling van de ophanging
  tilt de balans tussen sportieve kracht en comfort naar een nog hoger
  niveau. En wat de digitalisering van de nieuwe BMW 3 Reeks Berline en
  de nieuwe BMW 3 Reeks Touring betreft, biedt het BMW Operating System
  8.5 de basis voor een uiterst intuïtieve en comfortabele bediening via
  de verbeterde BMW iDrive met QuickSelect, alsook voor uitgebreide
  navigatiefuncties met Augmented View.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Deze nieuwe technologische ontwikkelingen gaan hand in hand met
  gerichte designwijzigingen voor het koetswerk en interieur. Nieuwe
  koetswerkkleuren en lichtmetalen velgen accentueren het aura van
  sportieve elegantie dat de Berline en Touring uitstralen. In het
  interieur zorgen de nieuw ontworpen stuurwielen en dashboardweergaven
  en geavanceerde voorzieningen zoals de CraftedClarity-glasafwerking
  voor rijplezier in een sfeer van hoogstaande moderniteit.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>De nieuwe BMW 3 Reeks Berline en de nieuwe BMW 3 Reeks Touring zullen
  wereldwijd worden gelanceerd en gaan in juli 2024 in productie. Beide
  modellen zullen worden gebouwd in de fabriek van de BMW Group in
  München. De BMW 3 Reeks Berline zal ook van de band rollen in de
  fabriek van de BMW Group in San Luis Potosí (Mexico). De nieuwe BMW
  3 Reeks Berline voor de Chinese markt zal worden gebouwd in de fabriek
  van Tiexi in Shenyang, die wordt uitgebaat door de joint venture BMW
  Brilliance Automotive (BBA).</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>De BMW 3 Reeks is marktleider onder de premiummodellen in zijn segment.</strong></p>
<p>
  <strong> </strong></p>
<p>De belangrijkste afzetmarkten voor de nieuwe BMW 3 Reeks zijn China,
  Duitsland, Groot-Brittannië en andere Europese landen, evenals de VS.
  Dat geldt voornamelijk voor de Berline, terwijl het Touring-model
  vooral in Europa in trek is. Zijn opvallende design en het inherent
  praktischere karakter van het onderliggende concept maken de Touring
  ook populair in Japan, Zuid-Korea, Taiwan, Hongkong, Australië en Nieuw-Zeeland.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Al sinds zijn debuut in 1975 getuigt de BMW 3 Reeks van hoogstaand
  rijplezier, een elegant sportief design en duurzame technologische
  vooruitgang. Hij verenigt dus alle typische merkkwaliteiten in een
  bijzonder geconcentreerde vorm. Tot op heden werden wereldwijd al meer
  dan 20 miljoen exemplaren van de BMW 3 Reeks verkocht, waarvan de
  huidige, zevende modelgeneratie op haar eentje nu al goed is voor
  bijna drie miljoen exemplaren. Uit recente cijfers blijkt dat de BMW
  3 Reeks in China, Europa en de VS marktleider is in het premium
  middenklassesegment. Op dit moment is een op de acht wagens die het
  merk wereldwijd levert een 3 Reeks. Op sommige markten bedraagt het
  aandeel van de 3 Reeks in de totale BMW verkoop zelfs 25 tot 35 procent. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Een van de opvallendste kenmerken van het BMW 3 Reeks-gamma is de
  brede waaier aan krachtbronnen waaruit klanten kunnen kiezen. Zowel de
  Berline als de Touring is verkrijgbaar met vier benzinemotoren en vier
  diesels. Beide modellen beschikken ook over enkele
  M Performance-topversies met zescilinder-in-lijnmotoren. De
  plug-in-hybridemodellen zijn de jongste tijd bijzonder populair
  geworden, een evolutie die zich met de jongste upgrades qua
  hoogspanningsbatterijen en laadtechnologie ongetwijfeld zal
  voortzetten. De verkoophitlijsten van de 3 Reeks worden aangevoerd
  door de BMW 320i Berline. Ongeveer driekwart van de wereldwijd
  verkrijgbare Berline-variant wordt geleverd met een benzinemotor.
  Daarentegen is ongeveer 40 procent van de BMW 3 Reeks Touring-modellen
  uitgerust met een dieselmotor. De rest is gelijk verdeeld tussen
  benzine- en plug-in-hybrideversies.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Diverse onderscheidingen bevestigen de aantrekkingskracht van
    de BMW 3 Reeks.</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Behalve zijn blijvende populariteit op automarkten over de hele
  wereld vergaarde de BMW 3 Reeks ook een gestaag toenemend aantal
  prestigieuze prijzen, toegekend door vakjury’s en lezersonderzoeken.
  Zo behaalde de BMW 3 Reeks in 2023 zowel een klassezege in de ‘Auto
  Trophy’, uitgereikt door de lezers van het Duitse automagazine ‘Auto
  Zeitung’, als een overwinning in de ‘Best Cars’-wedstrijd van het
  eveneens Duitse blad ‘auto, motor und sport’. Ook op markten buiten
  Duitsland verzamelden de Berline en Touring een reeks onderscheidingen
  als erkenning voor hun dynamische kwaliteiten, betrouwbaarheid en
  geavanceerde uitrusting.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Een onwrikbaar engagement om de koolstofvoetafdruk te verkleinen.</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>De uiterst efficiënte aandrijfsystemen, het intelligente lichtgewicht
  design en de geoptimaliseerde aerodynamische eigenschappen dragen in
  belangrijke mate bij tot het perfecte evenwicht tussen rijplezier en
  lage verbruiks- en emissiecijfers van de nieuwe BMW 3 Reeks. De Mild
  Hybrid-technologie met 48V-batterij die in bepaalde modellen wordt
  gebruikt, scherpt de vermogensontplooiing aan en verhoogt de
  efficiëntie. De motorkap, de zijpanelen vooraan, het subframe van de
  motor, de veerpoten vooraan en tal van chassisonderdelen zijn allemaal
  van aluminium gemaakt. Het aandeel van de secundaire grondstoffen die
  voor de BMW 3 Reeks in gegoten aluminium onderdelen worden gebruikt,
  bedraagt ongeveer 50 procent. De aluminium velgen voor de Berline en
  Touring bestaan voor maar liefst 70 procent uit gerecycleerd aluminium.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>De extern aangekochte elektriciteit die wordt gebruikt bij de
  productie van de nieuwe BMW 3 Reeks in de BMW Group-fabriek in München
  is afkomstig uit hernieuwbare bronnen. De BMW 3 Reeks helpt de BMW
  Group ook om haar hoge CO<sub>2</sub>-doelstellingen te behalen door
  de efficiëntie van de wagen voortdurend te verhogen. De BMW Group
  heeft zich tot doel gesteld om de CO<sub>2</sub>-emissies over de
  volledige levenscyclus per wagen tegen 2030 met minstens 40 procent te
  reduceren in vergelijking met 2019. Ten laatste tegen 2050 wil de
  constructeur zijn netto CO<sub>2</sub>e-uitstoot doorheen de
  waardeketen helemaal tot nul herleiden.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>De BMW Group zette de aanhoudende daling van de
  CO<sub>2</sub>-emissies van zijn wagenpark op de Europese automarkten
  voort in 2023. De onderneming boekte immers een voorlopig cijfer van
  102,1 gram per kilometer in de WLTP-cyclus – 20 procent onder de
  doelstelling van 128,5 g/km die de Europese Unie had vooropgesteld.</p>
<p>
  <strong> </strong></p>
<p>
  <strong>Koetswerkdesign, interieur en uitrusting. </strong></p>
<p>
  <strong> </strong></p>
<p>
  <strong>Vooruitstrevend aura, verfijnde sfeer.</strong></p>
<p>
  <strong> </strong></p>
<p>Meer dan ooit bepalen sportieve elegantie en moderniteit het design
  van de nieuwe BMW 3 Reeks Berline en de nieuwe BMW 3 Reeks Touring. In
  de huidige modelgeneratie komt hun rijpleziergerichte karakter tot
  uiting in heldere lijnen en royaal gebeitelde oppervlakken. Het
  gesofistikeerde design van de BMW nieren en de dubbele ronde koplampen
  – twee typische merkelementen – geeft de voorkant een onmiskenbare
  look. De opvallende voor- en achterschorten onderstrepen het
  dynamische profiel van de wagen, dat nog kan worden geaccentueerd door
  het optionele M Sportpakket of het M Sport Pack Pro te bestellen.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>De BMW 3 Reeks kan nu ook worden besteld met nieuwe koetswerkkleuren
  en lichtmetalen velgen voor een extra persoonlijke toets. In het
  interieur wordt de progressieve uitstraling van de cockpit met BMW
  Curved Display nog versterkt door nieuwe stuurwielen, visuele
  wijzigingen aan de dashboardweergaven en gemoderniseerde
  sierelementen. De zeteloppervlakken in de nieuwe M Performtex-variant
  maken deel uit van het M Sportpakket of zijn standaard in de M Performance-modellen.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Frisse designupdates versterken de sportieve elegantie van het koetswerk.</p>
<p>Het gamma koetswerkkleuren dat beschikbaar is voor de nieuwe BMW
  3 Reeks Berline en de nieuwe BMW 3 Reeks Touring omvat twee effen en
  zeven metaalkleuren. Nieuw in het gamma zijn onder meer de
  metaalkleuren Arctic Race Blue en Fire Red.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>De optionele lichtmetalen velgen verwelkomen ook aantrekkelijke
  nieuwkomers. Wagens met het M Sportpakket zullen verkrijgbaar zijn met
  nieuwe BMW M 19" lichtmetalen velgen met dubbelspaakdesign, die
  hun profiel nog dynamischer maken. Klanten kunnen deze velgen
  bestellen in de kleur Jet Black of in een tweekleurige afwerking. Het
  BMW Individual-gamma voor de Berline en Touring omvat intussen ook
  nieuwe BMW 19" lichtmetalen velgen met Y-spaakdesign en een
  tweekleurige afwerking. Alle nieuwe lichtmetalen velgen zijn voorzien
  van banden met combinatie van verschillende bandentypes.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Vooruitstrevende cockpit met nieuwe lederen sportstuurwielen.</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ook in het interieur van de Berline en Touring werden geavanceerde
  nieuwe voorzieningen geïntroduceerd. Die helpen de cockpit een nette
  en discrete look te geven. De nieuw ontworpen stuurwielen maken de
  rijervaring nog intenser. Het vooruitstrevende premiumkarakter van de
  wagens komt ook tot uiting in de hoogwaardige materialen en nieuwe
  interieurelementen. Zo kreeg het optionele instrumentenbord Luxury in
  Sensatec een verder verfijnde oppervlaktestructuur en decoratieve
  stiknaden in een contrasterende kleur.</p>
<p>De stuurwielen van de nieuwste generatie onderscheiden zich in de
  nieuwe BMW 3 Reeks Berline en de nieuwe BMW 3 Reeks Touring door hun
  moderne en sportieve design. Beide modellen zijn standaard uitgerust
  met een ingrijpend hertekend lederen sportstuur met een veelhoekige
  stuurkrans met dubbele spaken. Het M Sportpakket omvat dan weer een
  nieuw lederen M stuur met drie spaken, een afgeplatte onderkant en een
  discrete centrummarkering op 12 uur. Beide nieuw ontworpen stuurwielen
  hebben verlichte multifunctionele knoppen en schakelpaddles. De
  schakelpaddles, die standaard worden gemonteerd, maken bijzonder
  snelle manuele ingrepen in het schakelproces mogelijk en onderstrepen
  het sportieve profiel van de nieuwe BMW 3 Reeks-modellen.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Digitale klimaatregeling, inschakelbare lichtsferen.</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>De introductie van de nieuwste BMW iDrive-generatie met QuickSelect
  op basis van het BMW Operating System 8.5 zorgt in de nieuwe BMW
  3 Reeks Berline en de nieuwe BMW 3 Reeks Touring ook voor een optimale
  bediening van de ventilatie- en klimaatregelfuncties. Het
  bedieningsconcept, dat volledig is gericht op aanraakbediening en
  natuurlijke spraakcommando’s dringt het aantal fysieke knoppen en
  bedieningselementen in de cockpit verder terug. De
  temperatuurinstelling, de intensiteit van de ventilatie, de
  zetelverwarming en – indien besteld – de stuurverwarming kunnen nu
  worden ingesteld via het BMW Curved Display of met gesproken
  commando’s met behulp van de BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant. Met
  de nieuwe regelknoppen voor de ventilatieroosters in het midden van
  het instrumentenbord en aan de bestuurders- en passagierszijde van de
  cockpit kan de luchtstroomrichting worden aangepast met roterende en
  kantelende bewegingen.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>De interieurverlichting omvat voortaan standaard watervalverlichting
  in de lijst rond de ventilatieroosters in het midden. Deze verlichting
  kan naar wens worden aangepast aan de favoriete kleur en helderheid
  van de gebruikers, die daarbij de keuze krijgen uit negen
  kleurschema’s. De kleur- en helderheidsinstellingen ervan worden
  opgeslagen als onderdeel van hun profiel. Als de optionele
  sfeerverlichting (standaard op de M Performance-modellen) wordt
  besteld, strekt de individueel instelbare lichtsfeer zich ook uit tot
  in de voetruimtes vooraan, het opbergvak in het voorste deel van de
  middenconsole en de contourlijnen van de deurpanelen. De
  functionaliteit van de interieurverlichting omvat ook een sfeervolle
  ‘Welcome’- en ‘Goodbye’-animatie, evenals lichtsignalen die aangeven
  dat er een telefoonoproep binnenkomt of (optioneel) dat er een deur openstaat.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Nieuwe zeteloppervlakken in M Performtex.</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Als alternatief voor de standaard zwarte stoffen zeteloppervlakken
  kunnen de nieuwe BMW 3 Reeks Berline en de nieuwe BMW 3 Reeks Touring
  ook worden besteld met sportzetels in geperforeerd Sensatec. Ze zijn
  verkrijgbaar in de kleuren Schwarz, Tacorarot en Cognac. De optionele
  bekleding in leder Vernasca is nu verkrijgbaar in vier kleurvarianten.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>De zwarte oppervlakken van de sportzetels in de nieuwe M
  Performtex-uitvoering belichamen een vooruitstrevende sportieve
  uitstraling. Ze zijn inbegrepen in het M Sportpakket of in de
  standaarduitrusting van de M Performance-modellen. Deze
  veloursbekleding combineert een hoge materiaalkwaliteit met een
  sportief design, een laag gewicht en een duurzamere productiemethode.
  Wagens met het M Sportpakket en M Performance-modellen kunnen ook
  worden besteld met sportzetels en M sportzetels in leder Vernasca met
  zwarte oppervlakken en blauwe contrasterende stiksels.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Nieuwe decoratieve lijsten, exclusieve accenten met CraftedClarity.</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ook het gamma decoratieve lijsten werd uitgebreid herzien. Dark
  Graphite matt is standaard in de nieuwe editie van de BMW 3 Reeks,
  terwijl de edelhoutuitvoeringen Fineline hell openporig en Esche
  Graublau openporig en de varianten Carbon Fibre en Aluminium Rhombicle
  Anthrazit allemaal op de optielijst staan.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Dankzij het gebruik van uiterst hoogwaardige materialen kunnen ook in
  andere delen van het interieur opvallende accenten worden aangebracht
  om zijn moderne, hoogwaardige karakter te versterken. Zo kunnen
  klanten de CraftedClarity-glasafwerking bestellen – nog een
  nieuwigheid op de optielijst. Dat geeft de keuzehendel, de BMW iDrive
  Controller en de start-/stopknop een bijzonder exclusieve uitstraling,
  zowel visueel als tactiel.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Uitgebreide standaarduitrusting, hoogwaardige opties.</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>De standaarduitrusting van de nieuwe BMW 3 Reeks Berline en de nieuwe
  BMW 3 Reeks Touring omvat 17" lichtmetalen velgen (18" voor
  de plug-in-hybridemodellen), M Shadow Line hochglänzend, een
  automatisch dimmende achteruitkijkspiegel en Parking Assistant Pack
  inclusief Park Distance Control (PDC) met sensoren voor- en achteraan.
  Eveneens standaard zijn de automatische airconditioning met drie zones
  en de BMW Live Cockpit Navigation Plus met het volledig digitale BMW
  Curved Display inclusief het navigatiesysteem BMW Maps.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Het Touring-model is standaard uitgerust met een automatische
  achterklepbediening en een 40: 20: 40 neerklapbare rugleuning voor de
  achterbank (optie op de Berline). Enkele van de hoogtepunten op de
  lijst van individuele opties die klanten in staat stellen om het
  interieur naar wens aan te passen, zijn – behalve de sportzetels en
  sfeerverlichting – het Harman Kardon Surround Sound System, de
  standverwarming, het elektrisch bediende glazen schuifdak voor de
  Berline en het panoramisch doorschijnend schuifdak voor de Touring.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Aandrijving en rijervaring.</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Groter elektrisch rijbereik voor plug-in-hybridemodellen en hoger rijcomfort. </p>
<p>De BMW 3 Reeks biedt een grotere verscheidenheid aan aandrijfsystemen
  dan om het even welk ander modelgamma van het merk, met keuze uit vier
  benzine- en vier dieselmotoren met BMW TwinPower Turbo-technologie –
  waaronder uitzonderlijk krachtige zescilinders-in-lijn voor de
  M Performance-modellen – alsook plug-in-hybridetechnologie en de
  intelligente vierwielaandrijving BMW xDrive voor tal van
  modelvarianten. Elke nieuwe BMW 3 Reeks Berline en nieuwe BMW 3 Reeks
  Touring wordt standaard uitgerust met een achtversnellingsbak
  Steptronic, compleet met schakelpaddles aan het stuur voor snelle
  manuele schakelinterventies.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>De verschillende motoren voor de BMW 3 Reeks leveren vermogens van
  110 kW/150 pk tot 210 kW/286 pk. Aan de top van het gamma worden ze
  aangevuld met de zescilinder-in-lijn benzinemotor met 275 kW/374 pk en
  de zescilinder-in-lijn dieselmotor met 250 kW/340 pk onder de motorkap
  van de M Performance-modellen (zie apart hoofdstuk). De
  zescilinder-in-lijn benzinemotor en alle dieselmotoren beschikken over
  Mild Hybrid-technologie voor een dynamischere vermogensontplooiing en
  een hogere efficiëntie. Daarvoor levert hun 48V-startgenerator 8 kW/11
  pk extra.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Nieuwe hoogspanningsbatterij voor plug-in-hybridemodellen.</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>De plug-in-hybrides in het gamma van de nieuwe BMW 3 Reeks drijven de
  elektrificering nog een stap verder. Het gecondenseerde gamma bestaat
  nu uit de modellen BMW 330e Berline en BMW 330e Touring, die beide
  verkrijgbaar zijn met een klassieke achterwielaandrijving of BMW
  xDrive. Hun aandrijftechnologie omvat een viercilinder-benzinemotor en
  een elektromotor die in de achtversnellingsbak Steptronic werd
  geïntegreerd. Samen genereren zij een systeemvermogen van 215 kW/292 pk.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>De plug-in-hybrideversies van de nieuwste BMW 3 Reeks kunnen bogen op
  een nog grotere efficiëntie en een aanzienlijk groter elektrisch
  rijbereik. Dat wordt mogelijk gemaakt door de overstap naar een nieuwe
  hoogspanningsbatterij met 19,5 kWh aan bruikbare energie. Deze
  batterij, die steunt op de BMW eDrive-technologie van de vijfde
  generatie, heeft een veel hogere energiedichtheid dan de batterij die
  eerder in de BMW 3 Reeks plug-in-hybridemodellen werd gemonteerd.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>De nieuwe BMW Gen5-hoogspanningsbatterij betekent een grote sprong
  voorwaarts en verbetert alle relevante technische statistieken. De
  hoge energiedichtheid op cel- en batterijniveau gaat hand in hand met
  hogere spanningen om de efficiëntie van het systeem aanzienlijk te
  verhogen. Dat alles resulteert in een veel groter elektrisch rijbereik
  voor de bestuurder. Hoewel de bruikbare energie van de
  hoogspanningsbatterij bijna verdubbeld is, blijft de ruimte in het
  interieur en de laadruimte onveranderd, net als de inhoud van de brandstoftank.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Deze nieuwste ontwikkelingen in de batterijtechnologie bieden meer
  mogelijkheden om zuiver elektrisch rijplezier te ervaren in een BMW
  3 Reeks. Het elektrische rijbereik van 85 – 101 kilometer voor de
  nieuwe BMW 330e Berline, 81 – 96 kilometer voor de nieuwe BMW 330e
  xDrive Berline, 87 – 98 kilometer voor de nieuwe BMW 330e Touring en
  84 – 91 kilometer voor de nieuwe BMW 330e xDrive Touring stelt
  bestuurders in staat om niet alleen stadsritten en dagelijkse
  pendelritten zonder lokale emissies af te leggen, maar ook langere ritten.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Er is ook meer geavanceerde laadtechnologie beschikbaar om
  bestuurders te helpen zo veel mogelijk zuiver elektrisch te rijden. De
  nieuwe laadeenheid ondersteunt driefasige wisselstroomladers tot 11
  kW. Nooit eerder konden de plug-in-hybridemodellen van BMW zo’n hoog
  laadvermogen voorleggen. Daardoor kan de hoogspanningsbatterij in 2
  uur en 15 minuten volledig worden opgeladen van 0 tot 100 procent. De
  plug-in-hybridemodellen uit de nieuwe BMW 3 Reeks zijn nu ook
  compatibel met het nieuwste aanbod van BMW Charging: de optie
  Connected Home Charging vormt de basis om het laadproces te
  optimaliseren op basis van de zonne-opbrengst en naargelang de belasting.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>De ophanging biedt een nog betere mix van sportiviteit en comfort.</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ook de ophanging van de nieuwe BMW 3 Reeks onderging doorgedreven
  ontwikkelingswerk. De Berline en de Touring hebben altijd al de norm
  voor rijdynamiek bepaald in hun respectieve segmenten. De mix van
  sportieve flair en rijcomfort waarvoor de 3 Reeks bekendstaat, werd nu
  voor alle modelvarianten verder verfijnd met een reeks gerichte
  updates. De stijvere bevestiging van de achterschokdempers op het
  koetswerk is slechts een van de maatregelen die daartoe werden genomen.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Dankzij deze nooit aflatende ontwikkelingsinspanningen zullen de
  inzittenden in alle rijomstandigheden – ongeacht het wegdek en de
  gekozen rijmodus – een opmerkelijk comfortpeil genieten, zonder
  daarbij te raken aan de typische dynamische kwaliteiten van de
  3 Reeks. Dat heeft ook een positieve invloed op de akoestiek wanneer
  de wagen piekkrachten verwerkt die door het wegdek worden veroorzaakt.
  Daardoor straalt zijn weggedrag een nog grotere algemene precisie,
  balans en controleerbaarheid uit. De kracht die nodig is om aan het
  stuur te draaien, werd in de modus Comfort ook verminderd om een
  superieur stuurcomfort te verzekeren in het dagelijkse verkeer.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Als alternatief voor de standaardvariant is de M sportophanging
  inbegrepen als onderdeel van het M Sportpakket. De adaptieve
  M sportophanging met elektronisch gestuurde schokdempers en Variable
  Sport Steering is eveneens verkrijgbaar op modellen met het M Sportpakket.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Geavanceerde rijhulpsystemen en parkeersystemen.</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Een brede waaier van rijhulpsystemen verhoogt het comfort en de
  veiligheid tijdens het rijden en parkeren met de nieuwe BMW 3 Reeks
  Berline en de nieuwe BMW 3 Reeks Touring. De botswaarschuwing vooraan
  met remingreep, de Cruise Control met remfunctie en de nieuwe
  Intelligent Speed Assistance-functie behoren tot de
  standaarduitrusting. Het optionele Driving Assistant Pack Professional
  omvat de Steering & Lane Control Assistant, de Active Cruise
  Control met Stop&Go functie, de automatische Speed Limit Assist,
  de routecontrole, de stoplichtherkenning, de Evasion Aid, de
  Crossroads Assistant met City Braking Function, Wrong-way Warning en
  Crossing Traffic Warning vooraan.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Behalve Park Distance Control biedt het standaard Parking Assistant
  Pack ook de mogelijkheid om automatisch in en uit parkeerplaatsen te
  manoeuvreren. Een achteruitrijcamera en Reversing Assistant zijn
  eveneens inbegrepen. Het optionele Parking Assistant Pack Plus met
  Surround View en Remote 3D View is ook beschikbaar.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>De M Performance-modellen in de nieuwe BMW 3 Reeks. </strong></p>
<p>
  <strong> </strong></p>
<p>
  <strong>Elitaire sportmodellen met een opvallend karakter. </strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Het sportieve karakter van de nieuwe BMW 3 Reeks kan in een erg
  geconcentreerde vorm worden ervaren met de Performance-topmodellen van
  BMW M GmbH. Met hun krachtige zescilinders-in-lijn, hun specifieke
  chassisafstelling en hun kenmerkende M designelementen voor koetswerk
  en interieur uiten deze elitesportmodellen hun opvallende
  persoonlijkheid in zowel hun rijervaring als hun look. Ook is er een
  nieuw stuur en een nieuwe zetelbekleding om de cockpit op te frissen.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>De M Performance-modellen uit de nieuwe 3 Reeks zijn verkrijgbaar met
  een benzine- en een dieselmotor, beide met een cilinderinhoud van 3,0
  liter en uitgerust met typische M prestatiekenmerken. Hun gezonde
  honger naar toeren en instant vermogensontplooiing zijn het resultaat
  van de nieuwste M TwinPower Turbo-technologie – die individueel op
  elke motor is afgestemd – en de Mild Hybrid-technologie met 48V-motor,
  die met zijn vermogen van 8 kW/11 pk een elektrisch boost-effect
  levert. De zescilinders-in-lijn van de M Performance-modellen worden
  gekoppeld aan een achttraps sportversnellingsbak Steptronic met
  ultrascherpe schakelovergangen. De vierwielaandrijving BMW xDrive is
  eveneens standaard aanwezig om de wendbaarheid en tractie te verbeteren.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>De zescilinder-in-lijn in de benzinemodellen BMW M340i xDrive Berline
  en BMW M340i xDrive Touring levert een maximumvermogen van 275 kW/374
  pk en een maximumkoppel van 500 Nm. De BMW M340d xDrive Berline en BMW
  M340d xDrive Touring worden dan weer aangedreven door een
  zescilinder-in-lijn dieselmotor die 250 kW/340 pk en een maximumkoppel
  van 700 Nm levert. De M sportophanging met Variable Sport Steering,
  het M sportdifferentieel en de M sportremmen zijn eveneens standaard
  om de combinatie van dynamische overlangse en laterale prestaties,
  precisie en opwinding aan het stuur te bieden waarvoor de M modellen bekendstaan.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Individuele look met M specifieke designkenmerken.</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>De prestaties van deze topatleten worden duidelijk gekarakteriseerd
  door M specifieke designkenmerken die voldoen aan de technische
  vereisten op het vlak van aerodynamica en koelluchttoevoer.
  Voorbeelden daarvan zijn de grote luchtinlaten in de voorbumperschort,
  de M buitenspiegelbehuizingen in Schwarz hochglänzend en de
  achterschort met zijn opvallend vormgegeven diffusor. De BMW M340i
  xDrive Berline en de BMW M340d xDrive Berline hebben ook een M
  achterspoiler in koetswerkkleur.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>De honingraatvormige BMW nieren, de exclusieve BMW M 18"
  lichtmetalen velgen en de trapeziumvormige uitlaatpijpen dragen verder
  bij tot de individuele look van het sportieve kwartet. Ze zijn ook
  verkrijgbaar met het M Sport Pack Pro.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Moderne sportwagensfeer in het interieur.</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>In de M Performance-modellen dragen M specifieke uitrustingsdetails
  bij tot een doelgerichte rijervaring in een moderne sportwagensfeer.
  Zwarte sportzetels in de nieuwe M Performtex-bekleding zijn voortaan
  standaard, terwijl als optie ook M sportzetels in leder Vernasca
  Schwarz met contrasterend blauw stikpatroon verkrijgbaar zijn.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Een nieuwe versie van het lederen M stuur tilt de intensiteit van de
  prestatie-ervaring naar een hoger niveau met zijn vlakke onderkant,
  rode centrummarkering en contrasterende stiknaden in de kleuren van
  BMW M GmbH. Ook de nieuwe decoratieve lijsten in Aluminium
  Feinschliff, de M deurdrempels, de M pedalen, de M voetsteun voor de
  bestuurder en de M specifieke grafische elementen voor het BMW Curved
  Display zijn standaardkenmerken die de sportieve topmodellen een heel
  eigen karakter geven.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Weergave- en bedieningssysteem, connectiviteit. </strong></p>
<p>
  <strong> </strong></p>
<p>Het nieuwe BMW Operating System 8.5 en innovatieve digitale diensten. </p>
<p>De BMW 3 Reeks Berline en BMW 3 Reeks Touring kunnen beschikken over
  de nieuwste versie van het weergave- en bedieningssysteem BMW iDrive
  met QuickSelect, dat een intuïtieve bediening van de voertuigfuncties
  verzekert en toegang verleent tot digitale diensten. Het is voortaan
  gebaseerd op het BMW Operating System 8.5 en beschikt over een
  hertekend startscherm en QuickSelect-sneltoegang, met een verbeterde
  menustructuur die zich inspireert op consumentenelektronica.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Samen met het BMW Curved Display en de BMW Personal Assistant is de
  nieuwe BMW iDrive nog strikter afgestemd op de aanraakbediening en
  natuurlijke taal. Ook de functies van de klimaatregeling, waaronder de
  zetelverwarming en – indien aanwezig – de stuurverwarming, worden nu
  digitaal geregeld.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>BMW iDrive met QuickSelect maakt het mogelijk om functies
    rechtstreeks op het startscherm te selecteren met sneltoegang.</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Het startscherm van BMW iDrive geeft de kaartweergave van het
  navigatiesysteem nu continu weer in groot formaat of een ander
  individueel instelbare weergave. Daarnaast maakt de
  QuickSelect-functie van het systeem de weg vrij voor een vlakkere
  menustructuur, zodat de bestuurder de gewenste functie rechtstreeks op
  het startscherm kan selecteren zonder door submenu’s te bladeren.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Aan de bestuurderszijde van het Control Display bevindt zich een balk
  met widgets die rechtstreeks toegang geven tot onder meer media- en
  telefoonfuncties en waarin genavigeerd kan worden door verticaal te
  vegen. Door een widget horizontaal te vegen, worden vervolgens
  aanvullende gerelateerde informatie en instellingsopties weergegeven.
  Deze widgetbalk kan worden aangepast door nieuwe widgets te
  installeren, bestaande te verwijderen of hun volgorde te wijzigen.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Het home-icoontje aan de onderkant van het Control Display maakt het
  bovendien mogelijk om vanuit elke toepassing met een simpele vingertik
  terug te keren naar het startscherm. Naast het startpictogram vindt u
  nu ook pictogrammen die u rechtstreeks toegang geven tot het menu van
  de airconditioning, het menu Alle Apps en, indien geactiveerd, Apple
  CarPlay<sup>®</sup> en Android Auto<sup>TM</sup>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Verbeterde navigatie met BMW Maps en Augmented View.</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Het navigatiesysteem BMW Maps, dat in de nieuwe 3 Reeks deel uitmaakt
  van de standaard BMW Live Cockpit Navigation Plus, maakt het
  eenvoudiger om bestemmingen in te voeren en kan bijkomende informatie
  geven tijdens het rijden. Andere nieuwe functies zijn een betere
  bruikbaarheid van filters, een vlakkere menustructuur met
  aanraakknoppen die rechtstreeks op de kaart worden weergegeven en
  proactieve routeaanbevelingen.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>De als optie verkrijgbare BMW Live Cockpit Navigation Professional
  voegt niet alleen het BMW Head-Up Display toe, maar ook de functie
  Augmented View. Dat is een aanvulling op de kaartweergave van het
  navigatiesysteem, die een live videostream van het bestuurderszicht
  weergeeft op het Info Display of het Control Display en die aanvult
  met contextuele realtime-informatie. Aan verwarrende kruispunten
  bijvoorbeeld wordt een geanimeerde richtingspijl geïntegreerd in het
  videobeeld om de bestuurder te helpen de beste afslag voor de geplande
  route te nemen.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Individuele gebruikerservaring met de BMW ID en My BMW App.</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>De komst van het BMW Operating System 8.5 maakt het nog eenvoudiger
  om de gebruikerservaring in de BMW 3 Reeks te personaliseren door het
  proces om de wagen te verbinden met de BMW ID en My BMW App te
  vereenvoudigen. Klanten melden zich in eerste instantie aan met hun
  BMW ID door met hun smartphone een QR-code te scannen. Het
  persoonlijke gebruikersprofiel wordt dan automatisch geïmporteerd. De
  synchroniseerbare instellingen worden geladen en de sleutel die in de
  wagen wordt gedetecteerd, is gekoppeld aan de BMW ID.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tegelijkertijd wordt de wagen toegevoegd aan de My BMW App – de
  universele interface die als poort naar het digitale ecosysteem van
  BMW fungeert. Die geeft informatie over de status van de wagen, het
  resterende rijbereik en eventuele service- en onderhoudsvereisten.
  Naargelang de specificaties van de wagen biedt hij ook toegang tot
  diverse functies vanop afstand, zoals de wagen lokaliseren of de
  deuren vergrendelen en ontgrendelen. De optionele functie Remote 3D
  View geeft bestuurders de mogelijkheid om op hun smartphone een
  driedimensionaal live-beeld van de onmiddellijke omgeving van hun
  wagen op te roepen.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Het is ook mogelijk om het laadproces voor de plug-in-hybridemodellen
  vanuit de My BMW App te controleren. Dat betekent dat het laden van de
  hoogspanningsbatterij onmiddellijk of op een bepaald tijdstip opnieuw
  gestart en gestopt kan worden. Ook kan de voorconditionering vanop
  afstand worden geactiveerd met een smartphone. De My BMW App geeft ook
  een overzicht van de laadgeschiedenis.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Daarnaast kunnen gebruikers met de My BMW App ook bestemmingen van
  hun smartphone naar het navigatiesysteem van de wagen sturen om routes
  te plannen, of de online BMW ConnectedDrive Store bezoeken waar
  upgrades en extra functies voor de nieuwe BMW 3 Reeks ‘over the air’
  kunnen worden geïnitieerd, gekocht of uitgebreid. De functie ‘My
  Trips’, inclusief efficiëntietrainer en maandelijkse evaluatie,
  verschaft de gebruiker waardevolle gegevens en inzichten over
  afgelegde afstand, verbruik en gemiddelde snelheid, en biedt nuttige
  tips om efficiënt te rijden.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Optimale connectiviteit met Personal eSIM en 5G-standaard voor
    mobiele communicatie.</strong></p>
<p>
  <strong> </strong></p>
<p>Naast de ingebouwde mobiele simkaart van de wagen kunnen klanten ook
  gebruikmaken van de Personal eSIM die in de nieuwe BMW 3 Reeks Berline
  en nieuwe BMW 3 Reeks Touring standaard wordt voorzien. Dit systeem is
  gekoppeld aan de BMW ID van de gebruiker en niet aan de wagen. Het
  integreert de wagen volledig in het digitale ecosysteem van de klant.
  De Personal eSIM maakt het mogelijk om communicatie- en
  connectiviteitsfuncties die door een afzonderlijk gsm-abonnement
  worden gedekt vlot te gebruiken, zelfs wanneer de smartphone zelf niet
  in de wagen aanwezig is.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>De Personal eSIM maakt het gebruik van de 5G-standaard voor mobiele
  communicatie mogelijk. Ook maakt dit systeem het mogelijk om gegevens
  te streamen via een WiFi-hotspot door middel van een stralingsarme
  verbinding naar de buitenantenne van de wagen. Alle telefoonfuncties
  kunnen worden bediend met het BMW iDrive-systeem of de BMW Intelligent
  Personal Assistant. De Personal eSIM kan worden gebruikt in alle
  landen waar BMW ConnectedDrive-diensten beschikbaar zijn. Het breidt
  het bestaande gsm-abonnement van de klant uit, wat extra kosten met
  zich kan meebrengen.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Parkeerkosten en brandstofrekeningen kunnen rechtstreeks
    vanuit de wagen worden betaald.</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Bestuurders van de nieuwste editie van de BMW 3 Reeks kunnen hun
  parkeerkosten nu in heel wat Europese landen rechtstreeks betalen
  vanuit hun wagen. De wagen detecteert automatisch of de dienst
  beschikbaar is bij aankomst in een parkeerzone en geeft de
  betaalfunctie weer als dat het geval is. De parkeerplaats kan snel en
  eenvoudig worden betaald met de kredietkaart die is geregistreerd in
  de My BMW App.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Bovendien kunnen Duitse bestuurders ook de brandstofrekeningen van
  hun wagen digitaal betalen na het tanken bij deelnemende tankstations.
  Net als bij de betaaldienst voor parkeergeld gebeurt dit met de
  kredietkaartgegevens die voorheen geregistreerd werden in de voertuig-app.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>

<p>
  <strong> </strong></p>
<p>
  <strong>Opvallende extra’s drukken de passie voor de autosport uit. </strong></p>
<p>
  <strong> </strong></p>
<p>De BMW 3 Reeks belichaamt rijplezier in het premiumsegment van de

  Berline en BMW 4 Reeks Coupé, M Carbon kuipstoelen leverbaar voor BMW

  Engelstalige persbericht</p>
<p>//</p>
<p>
  <strong>Munich</strong>. The market launch of the BMW M5 CS is the
  absolute highlight among the innovations that will enrich the BMW
  model range in spring 2021. The first special model based on the BMW
  M5 Competition takes on the top position in the BMW M GmbH range in
  terms of engine power, performance and exclusivity, underlining the
  brand's close ties with racing. Model diversity in the premium segment
  of the compact and mid-size class will be expanded from March 2021
  with additional drive variants for the BMW 4 Series Coupé and the BMW
  2 Series Gran Coupé. What is more, attractive additions to the
  standard or optionally available equipment in numerous BMW model
  series enhance driving pleasure, comfort, individuality and safety.</p>
<p>A feature previously only available for high-performance BMW M GmbH
  automobiles will also be featured on the most powerful variants of the
  BMW 3 Series Sedan and BMW 4 Series Coupé from March 2021. For the
  first time, an M carbon fibre roof will be offered for the top models
  of both model series. Exclusive lightweight components also optimise
  the driving experience in the BMW M8. Newly developed M Carbon bucket
  seats will be available as an optional extra for the three
  high-performance models in the luxury segment from March 2021. The
  luxury sedans of the BMW 7 Series will be equipped with Integral
  Active Steering as standard. In addition, a nanoparticle filter will
  now be a new component of the standard or optional 4-zone automatic
  air conditioning in the BMW 7 Series and BMW 8 Series as well as in
  the BMW X5, BMW X6 and BMW X7 models. BMW Individual Shadow Line
  lights complement the equipment range for the BMW X5 and BMW X6. The
  BMW News app will be added to the range of digital services for
  selected BMW models from April 2021.</p>
<p>
  <strong>High-performance sedan with exclusive racing characteristics:
    The BMW M5 CS.<br /></strong>Following the BMW M3 CS, the BMW M4 CS
  and the BMW M2 CS, a special model of the BMW M5 will be launched for
  the first time in March 2021. The most powerful and exclusive version
  of the high-performance sedan bears the name BMW M5 CS (combined fuel
  consumption: 11.3 - 10.9 l/100 km (WLTP), 11.3 - 11. 1 l/100 km
  (NEDC); combined CO2 emissions: 257 - 248 g/km (WLTP), 258 - 253 g/km (NEDC).</p>
<p>The special model is powered by the most powerful engine ever to be
  used in a BMW M GmbH production vehicle. The V8 engine with BMW M
  TwinPower Turbo technology generates a maximum output of 467 kW/635 hp
  and is thus 7 kW/10 hp more powerful than the drive unit in the BMW M5
  Competition. Weighing in with 70 kilograms less weight, the BMW M5 CS
  completes the sprint from a standstill to 100 km/h in 3.0 seconds,
  beating the BMW M5 Competition by 0.3 seconds.</p>
<p>The racetrack potential of the BMW M5 CS also goes hand in hand with
  unrestricted suitability for everyday use. In addition to design
  elements for the exterior in Gold Bronze, standard equipment also
  features M Carbon seats for the driver and front passenger. In the
  rear of the BMW M5 CS, two passengers can be seated on individual
  seats and enjoy the outstanding driving experience.</p>
<p>
  <strong>New in the BMW 4 Series: Inline 6-cylinder diesel engines and
    exclusive optional extras.<br /></strong>The sporty character of the
  new BMW 4 Series Coupé will be underlined by an additional BMW M
  automobile and a further model variant with a particularly powerful
  engine from March 2021. In both cases, an inline 6-cylinder diesel
  engine and intelligent all-wheel drive provide efficient driving
  pleasure. The new BMW M440d xDrive Coupé (combined fuel consumption:
  6.3 – 5.7 l/100 km (WLTP), 5.7 - 5.3 l/100 km (NEDC); combined CO2
  emissions: 164 - 150 g/km (WLTP), 149 - 140 g/km (NEDC), with its 250
  kW/340 hp drive featuring BMW M TwinPower Turbo technology is also
  combined with an 8-speed Steptronic Sport transmission, an M sports
  package and an M sports differential. Thanks to the outstanding
  performance of the 3.0-litre engine and its maximum torque of 700 Nm,
  the new BMW M440d xDrive Coupé accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in
  4.6 seconds.</p>
<p>With a maximum output of 210 kW/286 hp generated from a 3.0 litres of
  capacity and a maximum torque of 650 Nm, the powerplant of the new BMW
  430d xDrive Coupé (combined fuel consumption: 5.9 – 5.2 l/100 km
  (WLTP), 5.1 - 4.8 l/100 km (NEDC); combined CO2 emissions: 155 - 137
  g/km (WLTP), 134 - 126 g/km (NEDC) also enables dynamic acceleration
  manoeuvres. It takes just 5.1 seconds to accelerate from a standstill
  to 100 km/h.</p>
<p>In both inline 6-cylinder diesel models, mild hybrid technology with
  a 48-volt starter generator provides a further increase in dynamics
  and efficiency. The system enables particularly intensive energy
  recovery in braking and thrust phases. The energy is stored in a
  48-volt battery and used both for the onboard network and to generate
  additional drive power. The dynamic power delivery when starting off
  and accelerating is enhanced by the additional power of 8 kW/11 hp
  spontaneously provided by the 48-volt starter generator. In other load
  ranges the electric drive can relieve the combustion engine and thus
  increase its efficiency.</p>
<p>For both the new BMW 4 Series Coupé and the new BMW 4 Series
  Convertible, the BMW Individual Brilliant White metallic, BMW
  Individual Frozen Portimao Blue metallic and BMW Individual Frozen
  Deep Grey metallic exterior paint finishes will also be available from
  March 2021. The extended BMW Individual Merino leather upholstery or
  the BMW Individual Merino full leather upholstery will be available in
  six or four colour variants respectively to ensure exclusive flair in
  the interior.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Dynamic charisma increased, centre of gravity lowered: M
    Carbon roof in the BMW 3 Series and BMW 4 Series.<br /></strong>The
  new BMW M440d xDrive Coupé, just like the BMW M440i xDrive Coupé and
  the two corresponding top models of the BMW 3 Series Sedan, will add
  further touches of sporty flair by means of an exclusive lightweight
  construction feature. The M Carbon roof, available for these four
  models from March 2021, emphasises dynamic charisma and at the same
  time lowers the vehicle's centre of gravity further to make it even
  more agile.</p>
<p>In future, the new interior trims will be available in the M Carbon
  Fibre version to match. They will also be available for the BMW M440i
  xDrive Convertible and for all other model variants of the new BMW 3
  Series and BMW 4 Series, in each case in conjunction with the M Sport
  Model equipment.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Additional all-wheel drive model variant for the BMW 2 Series
    Gran Coupé.<br /></strong>The added traction, driving stability and
  sportiness associated with intelligent all-wheel drive can be
  experienced in a further model variant of the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé
  from March 2021. The new BMW 220i xDrive Gran Coupé (combined fuel
  consumption: 7.3 - 6.5 l/100 km (WLTP), 6.4 - 6.1 l/100 km (NEDC);
  combined CO2 emissions: 165 - 149 g/km (WLTP, 147 - 139 g/km (NEDC),
  generates 131 kW/178 hp from a 4-cylinder petrol engine, the power
  being distributed between the front and rear wheels as required. The
  7-speed Steptronic transmission with double clutch is in charge of
  power transmission. With this drive technology, the new BMW 220i
  xDrive Gran Coupé accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 7.1 seconds.</p>
<p>The range of optional extras for the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé will be
  supplemented by additional light-alloy wheels in spring 2021. 18-inch
  M light-alloy wheels in Y-spoke design and bicolour finish are new to
  the range.</p>
<p>
  <strong>BMW 7 Series now features Integral Active Steering as
  standard.<br /></strong>The superior ride comfort, cornering dynamics
  and agility of the BMW 7 Series luxury sedans will be enhanced from
  March 2021 with the help of Integral Active Steering as standard. This
  system optimises both agility and superior handling at higher speeds
  as well as comfort when manoeuvring through precisely controlled
  steering of the rear wheels. The latest version of the Integral Active
  Steering system triggers counter-steering of the rear wheels even at a
  particularly low speed of less than 3 km/h. This further enhances the
  manoeuvrability of the luxury sedans when parking and backing out, as
  well as when passing slowly through narrow spaces.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Nanoparticle filter as a new component of the 4-zone automatic
    air conditioning.<br /></strong>In many current BMW models, a
  nanoparticle filter will be part of the range of functions of the
  4-zone automatic air conditioning. The system, which is unique in the
  competitive environment, is able to remove tiny impurities from the
  air flowing into the interior. The 4-zone automatic air conditioning
  with nanoparticle filter is part of the standard equipment in the BMW
  X7 and is offered as an option for the BMW 7 Series luxury sedans, the
  BMW 8 Series luxury sports cars and the BMW X5 and BMW X6 models.</p>
<p>
  <strong>BMW Individual Shadow Line lights for the BMW X5 and BMW
  X6.<br /></strong>The range of optional equipment for the BMW X5 and
  BMW X6 models is supplemented by the BMW Individual Shadow Line
  lights. They are available in conjunction with the optional BMW laser
  light and feature black inlays on the upper edge of the headlights
  ensuring a particularly expressive front view.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Pure race-track feeling: M Carbon bucket seats in the BMW
  M8.<br /></strong>A particularly attractive addition to the range of
  optional extras for the BMW M8 models allows customers to experience
  the fascinating performance characteristics of the high-performance
  sports cars even more intensively. M Carbon bucket seats will be
  available for the BMW M8 Competition Coupé, the BMW M8 Competition
  Convertible and the BMW M8 Competition Gran Coupé from March 2021.
  With their novel, structure-based design, visible carbon fibre
  reinforced plastic (CFRP) surfaces, integrated headrests, openings in
  the backrests and side sections as well as guides for multi-point seat
  belts, they combine racing functionality with long-distance comfort
  and luxurious quality of workmanship.</p>
<p>The M Carbon bucket seats for the driver and front passenger are
  electrically adjustable for height, tilt and forward/back positioning.
  In addition, the inclination and width of their backrests can be
  adjusted at the touch of a button. They feature leather and alcantara
  seat surfaces and are also heated. Illuminated "M8"
  lettering on the headrests and a memory function on the driver's side
  are also part of the equipment package of the M Carbon bucket seats.
  Their lightweight construction concept leads to a significant weight
  reduction compared to the standard M sports seats.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Exclusive special equipment for other BMW M
  automobiles.<br /></strong>The range of optional extras available for
  numerous other BMW M automobiles will also be expanded in spring 2021.
  For the BMW M3 Sedan and the BMW M4 Coupé, the new Skyscraper Grey
  metallic exterior paint finish and the extended BMW Merino leather
  upholstery are available in a choice of five additional colour variants.</p>
<p>The BMW X5 M Competition and BMW X6 M Competition models can also be
  equipped with BMW Individual Shadow Line lights in conjunction with
  the optional BMW laser light from April 2021. In addition, the
  optional 4-zone automatic air conditioning will also include a
  nanoparticle filter in the BMW M8 models.</p>
<p>
  <strong>New addition to the range of digital services: BMW News
  app.<br /></strong>The BMW Operating System 7, which is available in
  conjunction with BMW Live Cockpit, BMW Live Cockpit Plus or BMW Live
  Cockpit Professional in numerous current BMW models, enables the use
  of a growing number of digital services. The latest innovations in
  this area include the BMW News app, which will be available from April
  2021 as part of BMW Connected and provides the driver with selected
  audio content. This is precisely tailored to the wishes and needs of
  the driver. Based on the driver’s individual interests, current online
  news is selected from publisher offerings and broadcast in the form of
  naturally spoken language via the vehicle's audio system.</p>

  marktlancering van vier nieuwe modellen. Vanaf maart 2021 krijgen
  klanten de keuze uit vier plug-in-hybrideversies van de BMW 3 Reeks en
  maar liefst vijf versies van de BMW 5 Reeks. Productiestart vanaf
  maart 2021, vandaag reeds te bestellen bij uw BMW dealer.</p>
<p>//</p>
<p>Baanbrekende energie-efficiëntie, indrukwekkende zuinigheid en
  kenmerkend rijplezier gaan hand in hand in de nieuwe instapmodellen
  van de BMW 3 Reeks Plug-in-Hybride en de BMW 5 Reeks Plug-in-Hybride.
  Beide reeksen worden vanaf maart 2021 aangevuld met twee
  geëlektrificeerde aandrijfgehelen. De nieuwe modelvarianten van de BMW
  3 Reeks Berline en BMW 3 Reeks Touring en van de BMW 5 Reeks Berline
  en BMW 5 Reeks Touring beschikken over de vierde generatie van de BMW eDrive-technologie.</p>
<p>Op die manier zet de BMW Group haar offensief op het gebied van
  geëlektrificeerde modellen consequent voort. Het is al langer
  duidelijk dat elektromobiliteit een steeds belangrijkere drijfveer
  voor duurzame groei wordt voor de constructeur. In boekjaar 2021 wil
  de BMW Group zijn verkoop van geëlektrificeerde modellen met ongeveer
  50 procent verhogen in vergelijking met het al erg succesvolle jaar
  2020. De nieuwe plug-in-hybridemodellen van de BMW 3 Reeks en BMW
  5 Reeks hebben alles in huis om bijkomende doelgroepen te overtuigen
  van de elektrische mobiliteit. Het gamma van de BMW 3 Reeks zal
  daarmee in zijn eentje vier plug-in-hybrideversies omvatten, waarvan
  er drie als optie met BMW xDrive verkrijgbaar zullen zijn. Van de BMW
  5 Reeks zullen zelfs vijf plug-in-hybrideversies worden aangeboden,
  die de typische sportiviteit en de geschiktheid voor dagelijks gebruik
  en lange reizen verenigen met de mogelijkheid om lokaal emissievrij te
  rijden. Drie van die versies zullen standaard of als optie over de
  intelligente vierwielaandrijving beschikken. In totaal zal de BMW
  Group vanaf maart 2021 niet minder dan vijftien BMW modellen en één
  MINI model met plug-in-hybrideaandrijving aanbieden. De huidige
  uitbreiding van het gamma is de logische volgende stap op weg naar een
  modelgamma dat tegen 2023 al vijfentwintig geëlektrificeerde wagens
  zal omvatten.</p>

<p>
  <strong>Betaalbare instapversie tot de wereld van geëlektrificeerd rijplezier.</strong></p>
<p>De nieuwe versies in het gamma plug-in-hybridemodellen stellen
  klanten in staat om de vele kwaliteiten van de nieuwe BMW 3 Reeks en
  de nieuwe BMW 5 Reeks op een bijzonder economische manier te verenigen
  met het geavanceerde karakter van een geëlektrificeerde aandrijving.
  Het specifieke plug-in-hybridesysteem van de nieuwe instapmodellen
  omvat een 2.0-viercilinder benzinemotor van 120 kW/163 pk en een
  elektromotor met een maximumvermogen van 83 kW/113 (BMW 520e Berline
  en BMW 520e Touring: 80 kW/109 pk). Samen genereren ze een
  systeemvermogen tot 150 kW/204 pk.</p>
<p>De intelligent gestuurde interactie tussen de verbrandingsmotor en
  elektromotor staat garant voor het typische rijplezier en de
  uitzonderlijke efficiëntie van de BMW hybridemodellen. Beide
  krachtbronnen brengen hun aandrijfkoppel over naar de achterwielen via
  de 8-versnellingsbak Steptronic of, indien nodig, naar de vier wielen
  met behulp van de vierwielaandrijving xDrive. Samen met het
  systeemvermogen van 150 kW/204 pk zorgen ook de spontane
  vermogensontplooiing van de plug-in-hybrideaandrijving en het
  maximumkoppel van 350 Nm voor uitzonderlijke sprintcapaciteiten en
  sportieve rijeigenschappen.</p>
<p>De nieuwe BMW 320e Berline accelereert van 0 tot 100 km/u in 7,6
  seconden en haalt een topsnelheid van 225 km/u. De nieuwe BMW 320e
  Touring laat voor dezelfde oefeningen 7,9 seconden en 220 km/u
  optekenen en voor de nieuwe BMW 320e xDrive Touring is dat 8,2
  seconden en 219 km/u. De nieuwe BMW 520e Berline sprint vanuit
  stilstand in 7,9 seconden naar 100 km/u en heeft een topsnelheid van
  225 km/u. De nieuwe BMW 520e Touring werkt de standaardsprint af in
  8,2 seconden en haalt een topsnelheid van 218 km/u. In de zuiver
  elektrische rijmodus halen de nieuwe plug-in-hybridemodellen van beide
  reeksen een topsnelheid van 140 km/u.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Ruim elektrisch rijbereik dankzij hypergeavanceerde accuceltechnologie.</strong></p>
<p>Dankzij de voorbeeldige efficiëntie van hun elektromotor en de grote
  opslagcapaciteit van hun hoogspanningsaccu zijn de nieuwe
  plug-in-hybridemodellen ideaal om een groot deel van de dagelijkse
  ritten, zoals woon-werkverkeer, zuiver elektrisch – en dus lokaal
  emissievrij – af te leggen. De lithium-ionaccu’s, ontwikkeld op basis
  van de recentste accuceltechnologie en geproduceerd door de BMW Group,
  hebben een bruto energie-inhoud van 12,0 kWh en een capaciteit van 34
  Ah. Dat vertaalt zich volgens de WLTP-testcyclus in een elektrisch
  rijbereik van 48 tot 57 kilometer voor de nieuwe BMW 320e Berline, 46
  tot 54 kilometer voor de nieuwe BMW 320e Touring, 41 tot 55 kilometer
  voor de nieuwe BMW 520e Berline en 45 tot 51 kilometer voor de nieuwe
  BMW 520e Touring.</p>
<p>Op de weg toont de hoogspanningsaccu zich bijzonder efficiënt dankzij
  de recuperatie van remenergie. Met de twee standaard geleverde
  laadkabels kan hij worden opgeladen aan een gewoon huishoudelijk
  stopcontact, maar ook aan een wallbox of openbaar laadstation. De
  hoogspanningsaccu kan met maximaal 3,7 kW worden opgeladen van 0 tot
  80 procent van zijn totale capaciteit in 2,6 uur en van nul tot 100
  procent in 3,6 uur.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Digitale diensten ondersteunen lokaal emissievrij rijden.</strong></p>
<p>Met het BMW Live Cockpit Plus inclusief Connected Package
  Professional, dat standaard is op de nieuwe plug-in-hybridemodellen,
  kunnen bestuurders talrijke digitale diensten gebruiken, waarvan er
  sommige speciaal voor elektrische wagens zijn ontworpen. Met de
  digitale diensten BMW eDrive Zone en BMW Points krijgen bestuurders
  van de BMW plug-in-hybridemodellen extra stimulansen en mogelijkheden
  om het potentieel van lokaal emissievrije mobiliteit bijzonder
  intensief te benutten en zo de CO<sub>2</sub>-emissie en
  geluidsoverlast in de stad te verminderen. Zodra de wagen een
  stadscentrum binnenrijdt, dat het gps-systeem door middel van
  geofencing herkent als een eDrive-zone, activeert het controlesysteem
  van de plug-in-hybrideaandrijving automatisch de zuiver elektrische
  rijmodus. Naast de officiële stedelijke milieuzones in Duitsland
  omvatten de eDrive-zones ook stadszones in tal van andere Europese
  landen. In et totaal kan de dienst BMW eDrive Zone al in meer dan
  tachtig Europese steden worden gebruikt.</p>
<p>De toename van het elektrische rijbereik helpt niet alleen de
  efficiëntie te optimaliseren en de emissies te beperken, maar verlaagt
  ook de bedrijfskosten voor de klant. Dat geldt in het bijzonder in het
  stadsverkeer, waar de elektromotor consequent een hoger
  efficiëntieniveau bereikt dan een benzine- of dieselmotor.</p>
<p>Lokaal emissievrij rijden wordt ook beloond met BMW Points, het
  werelds eerste beloningsprogramma ter wereld voor bestuurders van BMW
  plug-in-hybridemodellen. Per zuiver elektrisch afgelegde kilometer
  verdient de bestuurder één punt. Binnen zones die als BMW eDrive-zone
  zijn afgebakend wordt zuiver elektrisch rijden zelfs met dubbele
  punten beloond. De verzamelde punten kunnen vervolgens worden omgezet
  in credits die bestuurders kunnen inwisselen om de hoogspanningsaccu
  op te laden aan openbare laadstations van BMW Charging. De diensten
  BMW eDrive Zones en BMW Points zijn ook standaard voor de nieuwe BMW
  3 Reeks en de nieuwe BMW 5 Reeks plug-in-hybridemodellen.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Geschikt voor alle toepassingen, van dagelijkse ritten tot
    grote reizen, uitgebreide standaarduitrusting.</strong></p>
<p>De hoogspanningsaccu van de nieuwe BMW 3 Reeks en BMW 5 Reeks
  Plug-in-Hybride is onder de achterbank geïnstalleerd om ruimte te
  besparen. Dat impliceert ook dat het bagagevolume van de Berline en
  Touring vrijwel volledig beschikbaar blijft. Concreet bedraagt dat
  volume 375 liter voor de nieuwe BMW 320e Berline en 410 liter in de
  nieuwe BMW 520e Berline. Dat koffervolume kan worden uitgebreid van
  410 tot 1.420 liter in de nieuwe BMW 320e Touring en van 430 tot 1.560
  liter in de nieuwe BMW 520e Touring. Het maximaal toegelaten
  sleepgewicht bedraagt 1.500 kilogram voor de modellen van de BMW
  3 Reeks en 1.700 kilogram voor die van de BMW 5 Reeks.</p>
<p>Het royale plaatsaanbod draagt bij tot de aantrekkelijke
  veelzijdigheid van de plug-in-hybridemodellen, net als het
  aandrijfconcept met twee motoren. Dankzij de brandstoftank van 40
  liter in de BMW 3 Reeks en 46 liter in de BMW 5 Reeks garanderen beide
  modellen een groot rijbereik, wat de geschiktheid voor elektrisch
  rijden benadrukt.</p>
<p>De plug-in-hybridemodellen van de BMW 3 Reeks en BMW 5 Reeks zijn ook
  standaard uitgerust met een actieve voetgangersbescherming. Wanneer ze
  elektrisch rijden, genereren ze bij snelheden tot 30 km/u een
  onmiskenbaar, specifiek voor geëlektrificeerde BMW modellen ontwikkeld
  geluid om andere weggebruikers te waarschuwen voor de naderende wagen
  zonder daarbij het akoestische comfort van de inzittenden te verstoren.</p>
<p>De sportieve kenmerken van de nieuwe plug-in-hybridemodellen worden
  nog versterkt door een modelspecifieke afstelling en gerichte
  overbrenging van aandrijfgeluiden via het audiosysteem in het
  interieur, een direct maar nauwkeurig gaspedaalgevoel en een specifiek
  schakelprogramma voor de 8-versnellingsbak Steptronic, inclusief
  terugschakelen tijdens het remmen.</p>
<p>De standaarduitrusting omvat ook een automatische airconditioning met
  uitgebreide functies (BMW 520e Berline, BMW 520e Touring) of een
  automatische airconditioning (BMW 320e Berline, BMW 320e Touring),
  alsook een hulpverwarming en -airconditioning. Het interieur van de
  wagen kan naar wens worden voorverwarmd of voorgekoeld. Zo bent u
  zeker van een aangename temperatuur, zelfs wanneer de accu bijna leeg
  is. Via de My BMW App kunt u met een smartphone het interieur vanop
  afstand op temperatuur brengen.</p>
<p>De gegevens over brandstofverbruik, CO<sub>2</sub>-emissie en
  stroomverbruik werden berekend op basis van de voorgeschreven
  testprocedure VO (EU) 715/2007 in de geldende versie. De gegevens
  hebben betrekking op een wagen in standaarduitvoering in België en
  Luxemburg. Wat het rijbereik betreft, houden de NEDC-cijfers rekening
  met verschillen in de gekozen velg- en bandenmaat, terwijl de
  WLTP-cyclus rekening houdt met de invloed van alle opties.</p>
<p>Alle cijfers werden reeds berekend op basis van de nieuwe
  WLTP-testcyclus. De vermelde NEDC-waarden werden waar van toepassing
  omgerekend naar de NEDC-procedure. De WLTP-waarden worden gebruikt als
  basis voor de bepaling van belastingen en andere voertuiggerelateerde
  heffingen die (ook) gebaseerd zijn op de CO<sub>2</sub>-emissie en,
  waar van toepassing, voor voertuigspecifieke subsidies. Meer

<p>
  <strong>Munich. </strong>Increased efficiency through consistent
  electrification, optimised emissions and innovations in the areas of
  driver assistance and digital services are the focus of the model
  revision measures for numerous BMW model series that will take effect
  in autumn 2020. From November 2020, all models of the premium brand
  will meet the requirements of the currently strictest exhaust emission
  standard Euro 6d. In the BMW 5 Series, the range of plug-in hybrid
  models has been extended by three new variants. New inline 6-cylinder
  diesel engines and 48-volt mild hybrid technology lower fuel
  consumption and emissions of selected models in the BMW 3 Series and
  BMW 8 Series. In addition, further engines will supplement the drive
  portfolio of the BMW 1 Series and the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Efficiency becomes more diverse: World premiere for five
    plug-in hybrid models in the BMW 5 Series. <br clear="all" /></strong>The range of BMW models with electrified drive
  systems will also be consistently expanded in autumn 2020. The
  expanded range of the following electrified models is especially
  attractive: BMW 545e xDrive Sedan (fuel consumption combined:
  2.3 – 2.2 l/100 km; combined power consumption:
  16.3 – 15.8 kWh/100 km; combined CO<sub>2</sub> emissions:
  53 – 49 g/km; electric range: 47 – 57 km), BMW 530e Touring (combined
  fuel consumption: 2.0 – 1.8 l/100 km; combined power consumption:
  16.1 – 15.4 kWh/100 km; combined CO<sub>2</sub> emissions:
  46 – 42 g/km; electric range: 52 – 57 km (WLTP)) and BMW 530e xDrive
  Touring (combined fuel consumption: 2.4 – 2.2 l/100 km; combined power
  consumption: 16.7 – 16.1 kWh/100 km; combined CO<sub>2</sub>
  emissions: 54 – 50 g/km; electric range: 48 – 53 km (WLTP)). The BMW 5
  Series model range now already includes five plug-in hybrid variants.
  In the upper mid-size class, BMW offers the largest selection of
  models with electrified drive.</p>
<p>In the new BMW 545e xDrive Sedan, an inline 6-cylinder petrol engine
  and an electric drive integrated into the 8-speed Steptronic
  transmission deliver impressive driving dynamics in a particularly
  efficient manner. The power of the two drive units adds up to a
  maximum system output of 290 kW/394 hp and is distributed between the
  front and rear wheels as required by the intelligent BMW xDrive
  all-wheel drive. The brand’s hallmark combination of energy efficiency
  and sportiness also characterises the new Touring models, whose
  plug-in hybrid system consists of a 4-cylinder petrol engine and an
  electric drive system also integrated into the 8-speed Steptronic
  transmission. Together they generate a system output of up to 215
  kW/292 hp in the XtraBoost mode when load requirements are
  particularly high.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Increased dynamic performance and reduced fuel consumption:
    New inline 6-cylinder diesel engines with 48-volt mild hybrid
    technology in the BMW 3 Series and BMW 8 Series. <br clear="all" /></strong>With the introduction of 48-volt mild hybrid
  technology in additional models, BMW continues to consistently reduce
  fuel consumption and emissions in its current vehicle fleet. This is
  linked to the introduction of a new generation of inline 6-cylinder
  diesel engines. As of autumn 2020, four mid-size models of the BMW 3
  Series and three luxury sports cars of the BMW 8 Series will offer
  noticeably more dynamic performance and increased efficiency.</p>
<p>This twofold and BMW typical progress is achieved through further
  advanced BMW TwinPower Turbo technology and additionally with the aid
  of a particularly powerful starter generator and an additional
  battery. The dynamic power delivery when starting off and accelerating
  is enhanced by the additional power of 8 kW/11 hp spontaneously
  provided by the 48-volt starter generator. In other load ranges the
  electric drive can relieve the combustion engine and thus increase its
  efficiency. The power required for this is generated by intensive
  recuperation in braking and thrust phases and stored in a 48-volt
  battery, which also supplies the vehicle’s electrical system.</p>
<p>The 48-volt mild hybrid technology will be used in four further BMW 3
  Series models from November 2020. In the new BMW 330d Sedan (combined
  fuel consumption: 4.7 – 4.4 l/100 km*; combined CO<sub>2</sub>
  emissions: 125 – 116 g/km*) and the new BMW 330d Xdrive Sedan
  (combined fuel consumption: 5.0 – 4.7 l/100 km*; combined
  CO<sub>2</sub> emissions: 132 – 123 g/km*) and the new BMW 330d
  Touring (combined fuel consumption: 4.8 – 4.5 l/100 km*; combined
  CO<sub>2</sub> emissions: 128 – 119 g/km*) and the new BMW 330d Xdrive
  Touring (combined fuel consumption: 5.2 – 4.8 l/100 km*; combined
  CO<sub>2</sub> emissions: 136 – 127 g/km), it supports the new inline
  6-cylinder diesel engine, which already provides additional driving
  pleasure with its maximum output increased by 15 kW/21 hp to 210
  kW/286 hp. Thanks to a two-stage turbocharging system and an advanced
  common rail injection system whose piezo injectors now inject the fuel
  with up to ten injections per working cycle and a maximum pressure of
  2 700 bar into the combustion chambers, engine response and efficiency
  of the 3.0 litre engine are optimised. The new diesel engine generates
  its maximum torque, which has been increased by 30 to 650 Nm, between
  1 500 and 2 500 rpm. The increased power of the combustion engine and
  the additional electrical power noticeably improve the car’s sprint
  capacity. For example, the new BMW 330d Sedan improves its
  acceleration from zero to 100 km/h by 0.2 seconds to now 5.3 seconds.</p>
<p>In the BMW 8 Series, 48-volt mild hybrid technology is combined with
  an equally new and even more powerful 3.0-litre diesel engine. The BMW
  840d xDrive Coupé models (fuel consumption combined:
  5.8 – 5.6 l/100 km*; combined CO<sub>2</sub> emissions:
  154 - 146 g/km), BMW 840d xDrive Convertible (fuel consumption
  combined: 6.0 – 5.7 l/100 km*; combined CO<sub>2</sub> emissions:
  159 – 151 g/km) and BMW 840d xDrive Gran Coupé (combined fuel
  consumption: 5.9 – 5.6 l/100 km*; combined CO<sub>2</sub> emissions:
  155 - 148 g/km) will be powered by a 250 kW/340 hp inline 6-cylinder
  engine in the future. The 15 kW/20 hp increase in top-level output
  also results from further advanced BMW TwinPower Turbo technology. It
  now includes a multi-stage turbocharger with variable turbine geometry
  for the high-pressure and low-pressure stages. The maximum torque of
  700 Nm is generated alreadybetween 1 750 and 2 250 rpm. In the luxury
  sports car model range, the new drive technology enables the BMW 840d
  xDrive Coupé, for example, to improve its acceleration figure from a
  standing start to 100 km/h by 0.1 seconds to 4.8 seconds. The
  optimised performance characteristics of the diesel engine are
  accompanied by precisely adapted fine tuning of the chassis and its
  control systems.</p>
<p>The new diesel engines for the BMW 3 Series and the BMW 8 Series also
  represent the latest state of the art with regard to emissions. They
  feature exhaust gas treatment technology, whose engine-proximate
  components consist of a diesel oxidation catalytic converter and an
  SCR coating on the diesel particulate filter. In order to optimally
  reduce nitrogen oxide (NOX) emissions, a second metering unit is
  additionally integrated at the outlet of the engine-proximate SCR system.</p>
<p>
  <strong>BMW 1 Series, BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé: Additional engines and
    new optional extras. <br clear="all" /></strong>New engines will be
  available from November 2020 for the BMW 1 Series and the BMW 2 Series
  Gran Coupé. The new BMW 116i (combined fuel consumption:
  5.8 – 5.4 l/100 km*; combined CO<sub>2</sub> emissions: 133 – 124
  g/km) is powered by a 3-cylinder petrol engine with an output of 80
  kW/109 hp and a maximum torque of 190 Nm. It is equipped as standard
  with a manual 6-speed transmission and accelerates from zero to 100
  km/h in 10.6 seconds. A 7-speed Steptronic transmission with double
  clutch is optionally available. In addition, the model range will be
  expanded to include the new BMW 120i (fuel consumption combined:
  5.8 – 5.5 l/100 km*; combined CO<sub>2</sub> emissions:
  134 – 126 g/km). Its 4-cylinder petrol engine generates a maximum
  output of 131 kW/178 hp and a maximum torque of 280 Nm and is combined
  as standard with a 7-speed Steptronic transmission with double clutch.
  The new BMW 120i accelerates from a standing start to 100 km/h in 7.0 seconds.</p>
<p>Outstanding economy is the hallmark of the new entry-level diesel
  engine for the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé. The 3-cylinder diesel engine
  of the new BMW 216d Gran Coupé (fuel consumption combined:
  4.1 – 3.8 l/100 km*; combined CO<sub>2</sub> emissions: 108 – 99 g/km)
  provides a maximum output of 85 kW/116 hp and a maximum torque of 270
  Nm. It transmits its power to a 7-speed Steptronic transmission with
  double clutch as standard and enables acceleration from zero to 100
  km/h in 10.3 seconds.</p>
<p>The range of optional equipment for the BMW 1 Series and the BMW 2
  Series Gran Coupé is supplemented by the BMW Individual Shadow Line
  lights. With the black inserts at the upper edge of the headlamps they
  make the front view even more powerfully expressive.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Urban Cruise Control: Increased comfort and optimised safety
    when driving in urban traffic. <br clear="all" /></strong>The
  increased level of comfort and safety achieved through combined speed
  and distance control will also be available in numerous current BMW
  models when driving in city traffic from autumn 2020 onwards. In
  conjunction with the optional Driving Assistant Professional, the
  Urban Cruise Control function is available in the BMW 3 Series and BMW
  5 Series, the BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo, the BMW 8 Series and the BMW
  X5, BMW X6, BMW X7, BMW M5, BMW M8, BMW X5 M and BMW X6 M model
  series. It extends the range of functions of the Active Cruise Control
  with Stop & Go function by a traffic light recognition function.
  In addition to vehicles and traffic signs ahead, traffic lights
  registered by the stereo camera are also taken into account.</p>
<p>In the case of traffic light signals that are clearly related to the
  lane you are travelling, these are automatically registered by the
  speed and distance control system. If the traffic light is red, the
  system decelerates the vehicle to a standstill. A green light signals
  the continuation of the journey. In a more complex intersection
  situation where, for example, different light signals apply to
  different lanes, a traffic light symbol is displayed in the instrument
  cluster. The driver can then confirm the light signal shown there and
  continue to use the automatic speed and distance control or control
  the speed himself. For additional comfort in city traffic there is a
  drive reminder function. While stationary at a traffic light, the
  current traffic light phase is displayed in the instrument cluster; at
  the beginning of the green phase, the driver also receives a signal to
  start driving.</p>
<p>The Urban Cruise Control function can also be integrated into the car
  at a later date by means of a Remote Software Upgrade. With the
  exception of the BMW 8 Series models, this option is available for
  vehicles of all the above-mentioned series produced from July 2020
  onwards and which are equipped with the Driving Assistant Professional.</p>
<p>
  <strong>New digital services for more driving pleasure: BMW News, BMW
    Intelligent Personal Assistant with new functions, personal profile
    picture and simple log-in. <br clear="all" /></strong>The latest
  generation of the display and control system makes it possible to use
  new digital services in numerous current BMW models. The BMW Operating
  System 7, which is available in conjunction with BMW Live Cockpit, BMW
  Live Cockpit Plus or BMW Live Cockpit Professional, allows the driver
  to customise what is displayed to a very high degree. From November
  2020, audio content will also be tailored to the driver’s wishes and
  needs with BMW News. Based on the driver’s individual interests,
  current online news is selected from publisher offerings and broadcast
  in the form of naturally spoken language via the vehicle's audio system.</p>
<p>The BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant is one of the particularly
  innovative services that features in current models with BMW Operating
  System 7. The digital companion, which enables intuitive operation of
  numerous vehicle functions via voice control (“Hey, BMW”), is
  constantly gaining new capabilities. From autumn 2020, the operating
  modes MAX eDrive and AUTO eDrive or ELECTRIC and HYBRID can also be
  activated in the appropriately equipped plug-in hybrid models by means
  of a naturally spoken instruction.</p>
<p>Optimised options for creating a driver profile allow further
  customisation opportunities. From November 2020, the driver can no
  longer only login by entering the BMW ID manually, but also via the My
  BMW App as well, making the process very convenient. A QR code
  generated for this purpose can be displayed on the Control Display,
  which can be scanned using a smartphone. The personal driver profile
  data can then be transferred to the vehicle. Also new: The driver can
  add a photo of his choice to his individual profile.</p>
<p>
  <strong>BMW X1 and BMW X2: New headlamp variants and BMW Individual
    High Gloss Shadow Line with extended features.<br clear="all" /></strong>Adaptive LED headlights will be available for
  the compact BMW X2 Sports Activity Coupé from November 2020. They
  optimise visibility when driving at night, among other things by means
  of a high beam matrix function. This feature is able to increase the
  range of vision while at the same time avoiding any dazzle effect on
  other road users. To achieve this, the high beam is divided into
  several LED segments that can be activated and deactivated
  independently of each other to adapt how the road is illuminated to
  the respective traffic situation.</p>
<p>In addition, the striking BMW Individual Shadow Line lights are
  available as a new option for the BMW X2 and the BMW X1. The sporty
  appearance of the BMW X2 can be further enhanced by the BMW Individual
  High Gloss Shadow Line with extended features. In addition to the
  high-gloss black side window surrounds, this option includes a black
  frame for the BMW kidney grille and tailpipe trims in chrome black.</p>
<p>
  <strong>New paint finishes allow for expressive individualisation.<br clear="all" /></strong>New additions to the range of paint finishes
  for numerous models will be introduced in autumn 2020 allowing for
  even greater levels of individualisation. The new San Remo Green
  metallic paint finish will also be available for the new BMW 4 Series
  Coupé in future. For the BMW X5, BMW X6 and BMW X7, the colours Dravit
  Grey metallic and Sparkling Brown metallic have been added to the
  range. In addition, the BMW Individual special paintwork finishes
  Grigio Telesto metallic, Urban Green metallic, Frozen Black metallic,
  Petrol Mica metallic, Ruby Red metallic, Avus Blue metallic and
  British Racing Green metallic are also available for the large BMW X models. </p>

<p>
  <strong>Munich.</strong> 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Increased dynamic performance and reduced fuel consumption:
    48-volt mild hybrid technology now in 51 BMW models. <br clear="all" /></strong>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>
  <strong>More power, less emissions: the new in-line 6-cylinder diesel
    engines with optimised BMW TwinPower Turbo Technology. <br clear="all" /></strong>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.</p>
<p>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 CO<sub>2</sub> emissions: 128 – 123 g/km)
  and BMW 730d xDrive (combined fuel consumption: 5.2 – 5.0 l/100 km;
  combined CO<sub>2</sub> emissions: 138 – 133 g/km), BMW 730Ld
  (combined fuel consumption: 5.0 – 4.8 l/100 km; combined
  CO<sub>2</sub> emissions: 130 – 126 g/km), BMW 730Ld xDrive (combined
  fuel consumption: 5.3 – 5.1 l/100 km; combined CO<sub>2</sub>
  emissions: 139 – 133 g/km), BMW X3 xDrive30d (combined fuel
  consumption: 5.6 – 5.2 l/100 km; combined CO<sub>2</sub> emissions:
  147 – 137 g/km), BMW X4 xDrive30d (combined fuel consumption:
  5.6 – 5.1 l/100 km; combined CO<sub>2</sub> emissions:
  146 – 136 g/km), BMW X5 xDrive30d (combined fuel consumption:
  6.2 – 5.7 l/100 km; combined CO<sub>2</sub> emissions: 164 – 150 g/km)
  und BMW X6 xDrive30d (combined fuel consumption: 6.2 – 5.7 l/100 km;
  combined CO<sub>2</sub> 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.</p>
<p>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
  CO<sub>2</sub> emissions: 142 – 136 g/km), BMW 740Ld xDrive (combined
  fuel consumption: 5.4 – 5.2 l/100 km; combined CO<sub>2</sub>
  emissions: 143 – 137 g/km), BMW X3 M40d (combined fuel consumption:
  6.0 – 5.6 l/100 km; combined CO<sub>2</sub> emissions:
  157 – 148 g/km), BMW X4 M40d (combined fuel consumption:
  5.9 – 5.6 l/100 km; combined CO<sub>2</sub> emissions: 156 – 147 g/km)
  und BMW X7 xDrive40d (combined fuel consumption: 6.6 – 6.4 l/100 km;
  combined CO<sub>2</sub> 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.</p>
<p>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<sub>X</sub>) 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.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Expansion of the model range for the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé.
      <br clear="all" /></strong>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
  CO<sub>2</sub> 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.</p>
<p>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 CO<sub>2</sub> 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.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Green light for BMW eDrive Zone: locally emissions-free travel
    in the city on an automated basis. <br clear="all" /></strong>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>
  <strong>BMW 3 Series Sedan and BMW 3 Series Touring now fitted with
    BMW Operating System 7 as standard. <br clear="all" /></strong>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

  variants of the BMW M5 and BMW M8.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>BMW 7 Series and BMW 8 Series with optimised Integral Active
    Steering. <br clear="all" /></strong>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

  <strong>Munich</strong>. BMW is increasing the significance and appeal
  of plug-in hybrid drives in the premium mid-range segment with a
  comprehensive model offensive. In the BMW 3 Series, the range of
  vehicles with electrified drive will be expanded over the coming
  months from the one model as it currently stands to a total of four
  models. Following the successful market launch of the new BMW 330e
  Sedan (fuel consumption combined: 1.7 – 1.6 l/100 km; combined power
  consumption: 15.0 – 14.8 kWh/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 38 – 36
  g/km*), the new BMW 330e Touring will also be available from summer
  2020 (combined fuel consumption: from 1.7 l/100 km; combined power
  consumption: from 15.7 kWh/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: from 39
  g/km, provisional figures*). In addition, both models will be
  available from summer 2020 with both classic rear-wheel drive and the
  intelligent all-wheel drive system BMW xDrive.</p>
<p>In all BMW 3 Series plug-in hybrid models, latest-generation BMW
  eDrive technology increases both efficiency and electrically powered
  range as well as hallmark driving pleasure. The spontaneous power
  delivery of the electric motor can be felt during start-up and
  acceleration, contributing in particular to the car's highly spirited
  character. The high energy content of the lithium-ion high-voltage
  batteries units featuring the very latest battery cell technology
  enables the plug-in hybrid models of the new BMW 3 Series to run on
  electrical power only – and therefore free of local emissions – with a
  maximum range of between 55 and 68 kilometres (provisional figures*).</p>
<p>In this way, the BMW Group continues to consistently pursue its model
  initiative in the area of electrically powered vehicles in 2020. As a
  pioneer in the field of electromobility, the company already sold half
  a million vehicles with purely electric or plug-in hybrid drive
  systems worldwide by the end of 2019. By the end of 2021, the BMW
  Group aims to have more than one million vehicles with electrified
  drive systems on the road. A quarter of the vehicles sold by the BMW
  Group in Europe will be electrified by 2021: this share will increase
  to a third by 2025 and to half by 2030. The BMW Group plans to expand
  its range to include 25 electrified models by 2023.</p>
<p>“Power of Choice”: considerable diversity in the range of plug-in
  hybrid models, too.</p>
<p>With its strategic “Power of Choice” approach, the BMW Group meets
  the individual mobility needs of its customers all over the world. A
  broad spectrum of drive technologies – including not just highly
  efficient petrol and diesel engines but also pure electric drive and
  plug-in hybrid systems – results in a well-adapted model selection
  that is tailored to a wide range of legal requirements and individual
  preferences. Diversity is continuously increasing in the range of
  electrically powered models, too. With the new plug-in hybrid models
  of the BMW 3 Series, customers now have additional options when it
  comes to aligning their desire for sustainable mobility with their
  personal needs and preferences. The electrified Touring models combine
  maximum efficiency with the extended interior space enabled by their
  versatile body concept. The use of plug-in hybrid technology in
  conjunction with intelligent all-wheel drive is geared in particular
  to the requirements of driving on snow, in mountainous regions and off-road.</p>
<p>Depending on their equipment, all plug-in hybrid models in the new
  BMW 3 Series meet the criteria laid down in the German Electric
  Mobility Act for labelling as electric vehicles and therefore enjoy
  the special rights this entails in public road traffic due to their
  high electric range and low level of CO2 emissions. In addition, they
  also qualify for reduced company car taxation in Germany. Only half
  the gross list price is taken as a basis when calculating the monetary
  benefit arising from private use of a company car.</p>
<p>Premiere for Touring models with plug-in hybrid drive.</p>
<p>As of summer 2020, the advantages of an electrified drive system will
  be available in two BMW Touring models for the first time. They
  combine the progressive character of their drive system with the
  proven qualities of a vehicle concept that unites driving pleasure and
  functionality in a particularly appealing way. Their dynamic design is
  characterised by a long roof line, precisely drawn lines and powerful
  surfaces. In their versatile interior, the Touring models with plug-in
  hybrid drive offer exactly the same level of interior comfort on five
  seats as the conventionally powered model variants. Meanwhile the
  luggage compartment volume is only slightly limited due to the
  space-saving arrangement of the high-voltage battery under the rear
  seat. By folding down the rear backrest with a split of
  40: 20, storage space can be extended to up to 1 420 litres.</p>
<p>The plug-in hybrid system of the new BMW 330e Touring comprises a
  2.0-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo Technology
  and an output of 135 kW/184 hp along with an electric motor integrated
  in the 8-speed Steptronic transmission which generates a peak output
  of 83 kW/113 hp. The system output of 185 kW/252 hp generated by the
  two power units can be increased by an additional 30 kW/40 hp for up
  to 10 seconds under especially high loads. This standard XtraBoost is
  available in SPORT mode, which can be activated by means of the
  driving experience switch. It increases the system output to up to 215
  kW/292 hp, thereby maintaining the model-specific properties of the
  sporting character so typical of the BMW 3 Series. The maximum system
  torque of the plug-in hybrid drive in the new BMW 330e Touring is 420 Nm.</p>
<p>The XtraBoost is also available during kickdown manoeuvres and after
  shifting the gear selector switch to the M/S position. The sporty
  characteristics of the new BMW 330e Touring are further underlined by
  model-specific drive sound tuning, a direct yet precise accelerator
  pedal curve and a specific shift programme as part of the 8-speed
  Steptronic transmission that includes brake downshifts.</p>
<p>Drawing on its two power units, the new BMW 330e Touring accelerates
  from zero to 100 km/h in 6.1 seconds (provisional figure). Its maximum
  speed is 220 km/h (provisional figure). In Hybrid mode the new BMW
  330e Sedan is able to reach a speed of up to 110 km/h when running on
  electric power alone – in other words locally free of emissions. The
  combustion engine only switches on at higher speeds or when there are
  particularly high load requirements. When the Electric mode is
  activated with the eDrive button, the vehicle can even reach speeds of
  up to 140 km/h drawing on the power of its eDrive alone. Thanks to
  state-of-the-art cell technology, the lithium-ion high-voltage battery
  in the new BMW 330e Touring has an electrically powered range of 65
  kilometres (provisional figure*).</p>
<p>Efficient and versatile: BMW eDrive in combination with BMW xDrive.</p>
<p>Parallel to the market launch of the BMW 330e Touring, two
  all-wheel-drive plug-in hybrid versions of the BMW 3 Series will also
  see their launch. These feature the same plug-in hybrid system as the
  corresponding rear-wheel drive models. In the new BMW 330e xDrive
  Sedan (combined fuel consumption: from 1.8 l/100 km; combined power
  consumption: from 16.7 kWh/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: from 42
  g/km, provisional figures*) and in the new BMW 330e xDrive Touring
  (combined fuel consumption: from 2.0 l/100 km; combined power
  consumption: from 17.8 kWh/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: from 46
  g/km, provisional figures*), power delivery from the electric motor
  and engine is combined with power transmission to all four wheels. BMW
  eDrive meets BMW xDrive – combining exemplary efficiency with superior versatility.</p>
<p>Via an electronically controlled multi-disc clutch, the intelligent
  all-wheel drive system distributes the power from the engine and
  electric motor between the front and rear wheels as required at all
  times. Networked with DSC (Dynamic Stability Control), the system
  adapts the distribution of drive torque precisely to the respective
  driving situation within a fraction of a second. Fully variable power
  distribution ensures maximum traction and driving stability in all
  road and weather conditions. It also supports the sporty handling of
  the sedan and touring model with plug-in hybrid drive. The new BMW
  330e xDrive Sedan accelerates from standstill to 100 km/h in 5.8
  seconds, reaching a top speed of 224 km/h (provisional figures). The
  new BMW 330e xDrive Touring completes the standard sprint in 6.2
  seconds, achieving a maximum speed of 214 km/h (provisional figures).
  With an electric range of 58 kilometres (provisional figure*) for the
  Sedan and 55 kilometres (provisional figure*) for the Touring model,
  the all-wheel-drive plug-in hybrid variants of the new BMW 3 Series
  also offer ideal conditions for using electric power alone to handle
  most day-to-day driving such as commuting or travelling within city limits.</p>
<p>Lithium-ion high-voltage storage with the very latest battery cell technology.</p>
<p>The plug-in hybrid models in the new BMW 3 Series owe their long
  electric range to the latest advances in battery cell technology.
  Their lithium-ion batteries, designed specifically for each model and
  manufactured by the BMW Group, have a gross energy content of 12.0 kWh
  and a capacity of 34 Ah. In relation to its size and weight, the
  high-voltage battery installed in the current generation provides a
  particularly extensive energy supply. The battery cells produced
  according to BMW Group specifications have an exceptionally high
  storage capacity. The electrical energy stored in the high-voltage
  battery is also used to supply the vehicle electrical system. This
  means that a generator powered by the combustion engine is no longer
  necessary, thereby further increasing the efficiency of the system as
  a whole. A 40-litre fuel tank ensures a total range that is suitable
  for long-distance travel, highlighting the capabilities of the plug-in
  hybrid models as touring vehicles.</p>
<p>The high-voltage battery is charged in a particularly efficient way
  during travel by means of brake energy recuperation. What is more, it
  can be charged at conventional household sockets using the standard
  charging cable. Using this method, the completely discharged battery
  can absorb 80 per cent of its total capacity within 4.2 hours. 5.7
  hours is the estimated period required for a 100% recharge. With a BMW
  i Wallbox, these charging operations can be completed with 2.4 and 3.4
  hours respectively. The charging socket is located under a separate
  flap on the front left side panel of the car.</p>
<p>Extensive standard equipment including auxiliary air conditioning.</p>
<p>All plug-in hybrid models in the new BMW 3 Series are fitted as
  standard with active pedestrian protection. When running on electric
  power 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 vehicle occupants. In addition, the standard equipment of
  the BMW 3 Series models with electric drive includes 3-zone automatic
  air conditioning and auxiliary air conditioning. At low outdoor
  temperatures, the interior can also be conveniently heated prior to
  setting off – even if the battery charge status is low. The
  preconditioning function also enables the interior to be cooled at
  high outside temperatures. The interior can be pre-conditioned
  remotely via BMW Connected using a smartphone.</p>
<p>The standard equipment of the plug-in hybrid models in the BMW 3
  Series also includes an automatic anti-dazzle interior mirror and Park
  Distance Control with sensors at the front and rear of the vehicle.
  BMW Live Cockpit Plus including a navigation system, Remote Services,
  Apple CarPlay preparation and Service Connected Music, is also
  standard equipment on the electrified models. As an alternative to the
  basic equipment, they are available in the form of a Sport Line,
  Luxury Line or M Sport model.</p>
<p>In addition, virtually the entire range of optional equipment
  features for the new BMW 3 Series Sedan and the new BMW 3 Series
  Touring is available for the plug-in hybrid. This includes the
  Adaptive M suspension including Variable Sports Steering and the M
  sports braking system as well as the innovative driver assistance
  systems to optimise comfort and safety – from Driving Assistant
  Professional with steering and lane guidance assistant to Parking
  Assistant including reverse assistant. Another optional equipment
  feature is a tow hitch with electrically swivelling ball head. From
  summer 2020 onwards, the permissible towing capacity for all plug-in
  hybrid models in the new BMW 3 Series will be 1 500 kilograms in each case.</p>
<p>Hybrid-specific digital services from BMW Connected.</p>
<p>For the market launch of the new 3 Series plug-in hybrid models, new
  BMW Connected digital services will be presented which make charging
  the high-voltage battery en route even more attractive and convenient.
  When selecting a public charging station, the navigation system also
  provides the driver with a list of recommended nearby hotels,
  restaurants, cafés, tourist attractions and cultural institutions.
  Charging station availability can also be checked using the vehicle
  display and operating system. The driver receives the information
  along with a forecast of the occupancy status of the public charging
  station at the time of arrival. In future, it will also be possible to
  reserve a charging station for a limited period of time, providing the
  respective charging infrastructure operator supports this function.</p>
<p>With the new BMW eDrive Zones function, which will be a standard
  feature in all BMW plug-in hybrid models from summer 2020, urban
  environmental zones can be automatically detected using geo-fencing
  technology. On entering the zone, the vehicle then automatically
  switches to purely electric mode, responding in the same way as a
  purely electrically powered vehicle and enjoying the same access
  rights, as per local regulations. The new function ensures even better
  exploitation of the potential offered by plug-in hybrid vehicles. The
  increase in the distance covered electrically not only helps optimise
  efficiency and reduce emissions, it also reduces the customer’s
  operating costs. This applies particularly to city traffic, where
  electric power consistently achieves a higher level of efficiency than
  a petrol or diesel engine.</p>
<p>BMW plug-in hybrid models: wide-ranging benefits in day-to-day use.</p>
<p>Compared to conventional drive forms, BMW plug-in hybrid already
  offers its users wide-ranging benefits:</p>
<ul>
  <li>Savings: electrically powered driving in the city costs less than
    running a car on petrol or diesel if the vehicle is charged at home
    or at work.</li>
  <li>Always the right temperature when you get in: auxiliary heating
    and air conditioning come as standard.</li>
  <li>Braking is a benefit: the battery is charged when the brakes are
    applied. In conventional cars, it simply generates heat and wears
    down the brakes.</li>
  <li>The best of both worlds: plug-in hybrid cars offer electrically
    powered driving pleasure in town and classic BMW driving pleasure
    over long distances</li>
  <li>Future-proof: since plug-in hybrids are able to run
    emissions-free, they provide access to many environmental zones as
    well as parking privileges and savings on toll fees.</li>
  <li>Enhanced quality of life in cities: by activating the electric
    driving mode, users can contribute to reducing emissions and traffic
    noise in cities.</li></ul>

  <strong>Munich</strong>. Two extremely efficient high-performance
  models are joining the BMW M line-up in the premium midsize segment.
  The six-cylinder in-line diesel engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo
  technology fitted in the BMW M340d xDrive Sedan (fuel consumption
  combined: 5.7 – 5.3 l/100 km [49.6 – 53.3 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions
  combined: 149 – 139 g/km) and BMW M340d xDrive Touring (fuel
  consumption combined: 5.8 – 5.4 l/100 km [48.7 – 52.3 mpg imp]; CO2
  emissions combined: 153 – 143 g/km) produces exceptional pulling power
  while attaining similarly impressive levels of efficiency. The
  3.0-litre unit generates maximum output of 250 kW/340 hp and peak
  torque of 700 Nm (516 lb-ft). The inclusion of 48V mild hybrid
  technology, meanwhile, has led to a further reduction in fuel
  consumption and emissions. Thanks to their comprehensive arsenal of
  exhaust gas treatment technologies, including an SCR catalytic
  converter with AdBlue injection, the most powerful diesel variants of
  the new BMW 3 Series also comply with the future Euro 6d emissions standard.</p>
<p>The arrival of the new BMW M340d xDrive Sedan and
  BMW M340d xDrive Touring in April 2020 bring that inimitable M feeling
  to a diesel-fuelled BMW 3 Series for the first time. The potent engine
  in the new BMW M models teams up with an eight-speed Steptronic Sport
  transmission, bespoke chassis technology and intelligent all-wheel
  drive. M Sport suspension – including variable sport steering – and
  M Sport brakes are fitted as standard on both models, likewise the
  M Sport differential. M-specific exterior features with optimised
  aerodynamic properties are part of an overall package that leaves no
  stone unturned in the provision of supreme performance. The new
  BMW M340d xDrive Sedan accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just
  4.6 seconds, while the new BMW M340d xDrive Touring completes the same
  sprint in 4.8 seconds. The combination of pulsating driving
  characteristics and a cockpit focusing squarely on the enjoyment of
  intense driving pleasure guarantees an enthralling experience of high
  performance at work.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Exceptional power delivery meets exemplary efficiency: the
    six-cylinder in-line diesel engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo
    technology and 250 kW/340 hp.</strong></p>
<p>The new M models in the BMW 3 Series line-up owe their unmistakable
  character in no small part to outstanding power delivery coupled with
  rock-bottom fuel consumption and emissions given the performance at
  hand. Their 3.0-litre six-cylinder in-line diesel engine features a
  crankcase and cylinder head both made from aluminium. Frictional
  losses in the base engine are reduced by measures including a wire-arc
  sprayed steel coating for the cylinder bores.</p>
<p>The power unit’s BMW TwinPower Turbo technology comprises a two-stage
  turbocharging system with optimised thermodynamics and direct charge
  air cooling, along with common-rail direct injection using piezo
  injectors. To ensure exceptionally sharp turbocharger response, the
  system’s high-pressure and low-pressure stages both feature variable
  turbine geometry. The further developed direct injection system, whose
  injectors now operate at a maximum 2,700 bar, ensures a precisely
  metered supply of fuel and extremely clean combustion. Integral
  pressure sensors enable up to ten injections per stoke. Engine
  response and efficiency also benefit from an intake system with
  optimised air routing, whose upgraded design enhances the power unit’s
  acoustics as well. Extensive engine encapsulation measures ensure the
  straight-six is particularly easy on the ears – and at the same time
  helps to optimise warm-up behaviour. Specially developed for the new
  BMW M340d xDrive Sedan and BMW M340d xDrive Touring, the diesel unit’s
  peak torque of 700 Nm (516 lb-ft) is on stream from just 1,750 rpm,
  while maximum output of 250 kW/340 hp arrives at 4,400 rpm.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Mild hybrid technology with a 48V starter-generator increases
    dynamism and efficiency.</strong></p>
<p>The inclusion of mild hybrid technology allows the engine to build
  power with an even greater sense of urgency. The 48V starter-generator
  fitted in the new BMW M models creates an electric boost effect that
  instantly puts an additional 8 kW/11 hp on tap. This extra input
  augments power delivery under hard acceleration and increases
  efficiency at regular speeds. The electrical power required here is
  stored in a 48V battery that is charged by recuperating energy under
  braking or on the overrun. Plus, additional energy can be supplied to
  the 48V battery by raising the engine’s load point.</p>
<p>The power generated in this way assists the engine when travelling at
  a constant speed, too, meaning it can operate within an
  efficiency-optimised load range as often as possible. As a result,
  there are fewer spikes in fuel consumption. The mild hybrid technology
  has the additional benefit of improving the operation of the Auto
  Start Stop and coasting functions. The 48V generator allows the engine
  to be deactivated with very little vibration and restarted smoothly
  during brief stops at junctions or in traffic jams. When braking, the
  engine can be switched off at speeds below 15 km/h (9 mph) already.
  The coasting function available when the Driving Experience Control
  switch is set to ECO PRO or COMFORT mode also shuts the engine down
  completely, creating further potential for lowering fuel consumption.</p>
<p>
  <strong>M Sport exhaust system generates stirring soundtrack, exhaust
    gas treatment complies with the Euro 6d emissions standard.</strong></p>
<p>The straight-six diesel engine in the new BMW M340d xDrive Sedan and
  BMW M340d xDrive Touring backs its exhilarating power delivery with a
  highly distinctive aural accompaniment. Both models are equipped as
  standard with an M Sport exhaust system whose rear silencer culminates
  in a pair of trapezoidal tailpipes.</p>
<p>With a view to minimising emissions, the diesel engine in the new
  BMW M340d xDrive Sedan and BMW M340d xDrive Touring includes an
  efficient low-pressure exhaust gas recirculation circuit and an
  extremely powerful three-way high-pressure exhaust gas recirculation
  circuit. Added to which, the two-stage NOX exhaust re-treatment system
  fitted as standard by BMW in diesel-engined models since 2012 has been
  further developed. The close-to-engine component of the exhaust gas
  treatment system with BMW BluePerformance technology comprises a
  diesel oxidation catalyst and an SCR coating in the diesel particulate
  filter. A second SCR catalyst has been integrated at the exit of the
  close-to-engine system to minimise nitrogen oxide emissions (NOX). The
  new BMW M models in the BMW 3 Series range therefore comply with the
  requirements of the Euro 6d emissions standard not due to come into
  force until 2021.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Sublime power transfer: eight-speed Steptronic Sport
    transmission, BMW xDrive and M Sport differential as standard.</strong></p>
<p>The powerful straight-six diesel hooks up as standard with the
  latest-generation eight-speed Steptronic Sport transmission, whose
  ratio spacing is perfectly attuned to the power unit’s performance
  characteristics. As well as super-sharp gear shifts, the transmission
  stands out with its optimised hydraulic control system, low converter
  slip and effective damping of rotational irregularities. Shift paddles
  on the steering wheel enable lightning-fast manual interventions in
  the gear selection process. There is also a Launch Control function
  for accelerating off the line with full dynamic intent.</p>
<p>The intelligent all-wheel-drive system in the new
  BMW M340d xDrive Sedan and BMW M340d xDrive Touring enables fully
  variable distribution of drive power between the front and rear wheels
  using an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch in the transfer
  case. Working in tandem with the DSC (Dynamic Stability Control)
  system, BMW xDrive reacts to changes in the driving situation with
  great precision and in a fraction of a second, maximising traction,
  agility and handling stability in all weather and road surface
  conditions, and when the driver explores the car’s sporting
  capabilities. The system’s rear-biased setup helps to produce the
  driving experience expected of an M car, and is especially pronounced
  with the Driving Experience Control switch set to SPORT or SPORT+
  mode. Judicious apportioning of even more power to the rear wheels
  increases turn-in agility, in particular.</p>
<p>The M Sport differential for the rear axle – another standard feature
  linked with both DSC and the all-wheel-drive system – ensures power is
  transferred to the road with even greater precision. The fully
  variable locking function is able to limit speed equalisation between
  the inside and outside wheel through corners so that the car’s agility
  and cornering prowess rise to new levels under hard driving. This
  helps the driver to power out of bends with extra dynamic verve. In
  situations where the road surface offers differing levels of adhesion
  for the left and right rear wheels, the M Sport differential increases
  traction and handling stability by preventing slip at the wheel
  struggling for grip.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Standard: M Sport suspension and variable sport steering.</strong></p>
<p>Like the engine and power transmission tech, the chassis systems on
  board the BMW M340d xDrive Sedan and BMW M340d xDrive Touring are
  designed to deliver supreme performance. Both models are equipped as
  standard with M Sport suspension, which extracts the full dynamic
  handling potential offered by the double-joint spring strut front axle
  / five-link rear axle combination on the new BMW 3 Series to
  exhilarating effect. The M Sport package brings a ten-millimetre drop
  in ride height, M-specific elastokinematics and lift-related dampers.
  The latter combine extra hydraulic damping on rebound at the front
  axle with a compression-limiting system at the rear, enabling
  continuously variable, progressive adjustment of damper firmness in
  response to spring travel. Vibrations experienced during dynamic
  cornering or on bumpy road surfaces can therefore be smoothed out with
  unruffled assurance.</p>
<p>Alternatively, customers can opt for Adaptive M suspension with
  electronically controlled dampers. This system of damper control
  offers extremely finely metered spring and damping responses and
  adapts constantly to both driving style and road surface conditions.
  The compression and rebound stages are tweaked independently of one
  another to match the situation at hand. The damping characteristics
  can be adjusted using the Driving Experience Control switch. SPORT and
  SPORT+ modes optimise dynamic driving and create a noticeable contrast
  to the more comfort-oriented damper responses in COMFORT and ECO PRO modes.</p>
<p>Both the standard M Sport suspension and optional Adaptive
  M suspension join forces with variable sport steering, whose
  Servotronic speed-sensitive power assistance helps to give the cars
  unshakable straight-line poise and accurate turn-in through
  dynamically taken corners. The variable ratio adjusts to changes in
  the steering angle, further enhancing comfort. It allows drivers to
  perform low-speed manoeuvres with minimal steering wheel movement and
  without changing their grip on the wheel, at the same time as
  increasing agility on twisty sections of road.</p>
<p>
  <strong>M Sport brakes and M light-alloy wheels with mixed-size tyres</strong>.</p>
<p>Outstanding stopping power and a pointedly sporty setup – headlined
  by short pedal travel and a distinct pressure point – are the defining
  characteristics of the M Sport brakes (also standard). Four-piston
  fixed callipers and 348-millimetre discs at the front wheels and
  single-piston floating callipers with 345-millimetre discs at the rear
  form the basis for safe, supremely assured handling, while
  blue-painted callipers bearing the M logo add a visual flourish.</p>
<p>Rounding off the chassis highlights on the new BMW M340d xDrive Sedan
  and BMW M340d xDrive Touring are 18‑inch M light-alloy wheels with
  mixed-size tyres measuring 225/45 R 18 at the front and 255/40 R 18 at
  the rear. 19‑inch M light-alloy wheels in three designs can be found
  on the options list alongside 19‑inch BMW Individual light-alloy
  wheels, again with mixed-size tyres. The 19‑inch M light-alloy wheels
  are also available with high-performance tyres.</p>
<p>
  <strong>M‑specific design features for the exterior and interior</strong>.</p>
<p>Signature BMW M exterior design features help to give the new

<p>
<strong>Munich. </strong>BMW is making further advances in its push to
  boost the driving pleasure and efficiency of its current model range
  with the introduction of state-of-the-art mild-hybrid technology in
  autumn 2019. Fitting a 48V starter-generator in the BMW 5 Series for
  the first time has the additional benefit of increasing power output
  and reducing fuel consumption and emissions. Meanwhile, the
  BMW 330e Sedan (fuel consumption combined: 1.9 – 1.6 l/100 km [148.7 –
  176.6 mpg imp]; electric power consumption combined:
  15.4 – 14.8 kWh/100 km; CO<sub>2</sub> emissions combined: 43 –
  37 g/km), BMW 530e Sedan (fuel consumption combined: 1.8 –
  1.6 l/100 km [156.9 – 176.6 mpg imp]; electric power consumption
  combined: 14.5 – 13.6 kWh/100 km; CO<sub>2</sub> emissions combined:
  41 – 36 g/km) and BMW 530e xDrive Sedan (fuel consumption combined:
  2.2 – 2.0 l/100 km [128.4 – 141.2 mpg imp]; electric power consumption
  combined: 15.4 – 14.1 kWh/100 km; CO<sub>2</sub> emissions combined:
  49 – 46 g/km) plug-in hybrid models will offer even greater
  versatility and everyday practicality from November 2019 when a
  trailer coupling joins the options list.</p>
<p>New optional extras designed to further enhance sporting prowess and
  driving comfort will also be made available for numerous other models
  from autumn 2019. Some of the most tempting additions to the options
  lists include the M Performance package for the BMW M135i xDrive (fuel
  consumption combined: 7.1 – 6.8 l/100 km [39.8 – 41.5 mpg imp];
  CO<sub>2</sub> emissions combined: 162 – 155 g/km), BMW Laserlight for
  the BMW 5 Series and the M Carbon roof for the new BMW 8 Series Gran
  Coupe. Finally, new exterior and interior options open up a wealth of
  possibilities for individualising the new BMW X5, new BMW X6 and new
  BMW X7.</p>
<p>
<strong>BMW 5 Series: mild-hybrid technology for extra sprinting power
    and efficiency.</strong></p>
<p>In autumn 2019, BMW will present another element in its powertrain
  electrification strategy to accompany the ongoing expansion of its
  plug-in hybrid line-up. Mild-hybrid technology will make its debut in
  the BMW 5 Series, where it will help to both lighten the combustion
  engine’s workload and boost its power, meaning not just superior
  efficiency but sharper performance. Fitting an extremely powerful 48V
  starter-generator and a second battery significantly enhances the
  functionality of Brake Energy Regeneration by enabling the energy
  recuperated when braking or on the overrun to be harnessed not just
  for powering electrical vehicle functions, but for generating
  additional drive power. For this, the 48V starter-generator acts likes
  an electric drive unit that assists the engine, allowing the latter to
  operate within an efficiency-optimised load range as frequently as
  possible. An electric overboost function, meanwhile, injects an extra
  dose of dynamism when accelerating under full throttle.</p>
<p>The 48V starter-generator has the additional benefit of allowing the
  engine to be switched off with remarkably little vibration and
  restarted more smoothly when using the Auto Start Stop function. This
  also makes it possible to completely shut off the engine in coasting
  mode, rather than just disconnecting it from the drivetrain. As of
  November 2019, mild-hybrid technology will be fitted as standard on
  the BMW 520d Sedan (fuel consumption combined: 4.1 – 4.3 l/100 km;
  CO<sub>2</sub> emissions combined: 108 –112 g/km), BMW 520d xDrive
  Sedan (fuel consumption combined: 4.5 – 4.7 l/100 km; CO<sub>2</sub>
  emissions combined: 117 – 123 g/km), BMW 520d Touring (fuel
  consumption combined: 4.3 – 4.5 l/100 km; CO<sub>2</sub> emissions
  combined: 114 – 118 g/km) and BMW 520d xDrive Touring (fuel
  consumption combined: 4.7 – 4.9 l/100 km; CO<sub>2</sub> emissions
  combined: 124 – 128 g/km). The fuel consumption figures of the 140
  kW/190 hp four-cylinder diesel engine that powers this quartet of
  models will be cut by up to 0.3 litres per 100 kilometres as a result.</p>
<p>The enhancements to the BMW 5 Series range also include the
  introduction of BMW Laserlight on further model variants. This
  lighting technology – which increases high-beam range to a maximum
  650 metres – will be added to the wealth of innovations aboard both
  the BMW M550d xDrive Sedan and BMW M550d xDrive Touring from November 2019.</p>
<p>
<strong>BMW 3 Series and BMW 5 Series plug-in hybrid models now also
    available with a trailer coupling.</strong></p>
<p>The hallmark sporting flair of BMW cars, outstanding efficiency and
  the option of driving with zero local emissions highlight the
  progressive character of the plug-in hybrid BMW 3 Series and 5 Series
  models. The BMW 330e Sedan, BMW 530e Sedan and BMW 530e xDrive Sedan
  can also be ordered with almost the complete range of optional extras
  available for the conventionally powered model variants, allowing
  driving pleasure and comfort to be tailored to individual
  requirements. A trailer coupling with an electrically pivoting hitch
  ball will be added to the list of options in November 2019, further
  enhancing the plug-in hybrid models’ practical value in everyday
  driving. These three models will have a maximum trailer load of 750 kilograms.</p>
<p>
<strong>BMW 1 Series: M Performance package for the BMW M135i xDrive.</strong></p>
<p>Model-specific design features showcase the performance capabilities
  of the new BMW M135i xDrive even in its standard guise. But now
  customers will be able to lend the 225 kW/306 hp range-topper’s
  standout sporting credentials even greater visual impact by opting for
  the new M Performance package. Available from November 2019, its
  special 18‑inch M light-alloy wheels in Y-spoke design and the
  deletion of the storage package reduce vehicle weight by around ten
  kilograms. This results in a 0.1-second improvement in the car’s 0 to
  100 km/h (62 mph) time, to 4.7 seconds. Added to which, the new M
  Performance package for the BMW 135i xDrive brings exterior mirror
  caps and exhaust tailpipes in a Black painted finish and a mesh-design
  BMW kidney grille in High-gloss Black with a surround painted in the
  same colour.</p>
<p>
<strong>BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe: M Carbon roof shaves off extra weight.</strong></p>
<p><img src="https://content.presspage.com/uploads/3240/984ebfcc-1259-4b8d-a73b-8f7931e11db5/P90365854_highRes_bmw-m850i-xdrive-gra.jpg"/> The new BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe brings genuine
  sports car feel to the occupants of its four full-size seats. The
  M Carbon exterior package available since launch already accents the
  car’s dynamic verve with some precise touches. And from November 2019,
  the choice of optional extras for the four-door luxury sports car will
  expand to include an M Carbon roof, which will be available as an
  individual item for the BMW M850i xDrive Gran Coupe and in conjunction
  with the M Sport package for the other model variants. As well as
  creating a look clearly inspired by racing cars, the M Carbon roof
  brings about a further reduction in weight. Interior trim strips in
  Carbon Fibre can also be ordered as an optional extra for the
  BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe for the first time.</p>
<p>
<strong>BMW X5, BMW X6, BMW X7: new customisation options.</strong></p>
<p>The appearance, interior ambience and comfort levels of the BMW X5,
  BMW X6 and BMW X7 can now be attuned even more precisely to personal
  preferences thanks to a number of new equipment options.
  M multifunction front seats are just one of the optional features due
  to become available for the executive- and luxury-class BMW X models
  from December 2019. Quite apart from their outstanding comfort, the
  seats also offer a wide range of adjustment options, all operated
  electrically. They can also be upgraded by the addition of massage and
  ventilation functions for even greater comfort on long journeys.</p>
<p>Customers seeking the ultimate in exclusivity can look forward to the
  BMW Individual Composition, which will be offered for the new BMW X5,
  new BMW X6 and new BMW X7 from December 2019. This equipment package
  comprises a selection of highly exclusive options for the exterior and
  interior boasting exceptional material quality and workmanship.
  22-inch BMW Individual light-alloy wheels and a BMW Individual paint
  finish ensure the BMW X models cut a stylish figure. Inside, BMW
  Individual Merino full leather trim, a BMW Individual headliner in
  Alcantara and BMW Individual interior trim strips in Piano Finish
  Black create a sense of high luxury. </p>
<p>The options list for the new BMW X6 also now includes a load
  compartment package comprising sliding rails, non-slip rails and
  retaining nets. Interior trim strips in Ash Grain Brown or Fineline
  Stripe and Vernasca design-perforated leather trim in Ivory White add
  to the choice of customisation options for the cabin. Paint finishes
  in Sapphire Black metallic and Sophisto Grey brilliant effect metallic
  and the BMW Individual paint finishes Tanzanite Blue metallic and
  Ametrine metallic have now been added to the colour palette for
  customers wishing to give the Sports Activity Coupe’s exterior a
  particularly striking look. An M Carbon rear spoiler and M Carbon
  mirror caps can also be specified to bring the car’s sporting genes
  even further to the fore.</p>
<p>The Adaptive M suspension Professional optionally available for the
  new BMW X5 gives it far greater poise in dynamic driving situations.
  This optional extra, comprising active roll stabilisation, the M Sport
  differential and Integral Active Steering, will also be available for
  the BMW X5 xDrive40i and BMW X5 xDrive30d from December 2019. The
  functionality of the Driving Assistant Professional will be enhanced
  in the new BMW X5 and new BMW X6 with the addition of the new Lane
  Change Assistant, which aids the driver with automated steering
  movements during overtaking manoeuvres.</p>

<p>
<strong>Driving Assistant Professional brings real-time 3D
    visualisation of the surrounding area to the instrument cluster.</strong></p>
<p>The Driving Assistant Professional offers drivers an extremely wide
  range of assistance in monotonous and complex traffic situations. Its
  range of functions now includes 3D visualisation of the area around
  the car, which has been available in all models equipped with BMW Live
  Cockpit Professional since July 2019. The system uses the data
  supplied by the driver assistance systems’ cameras and sensors to
  generate a real-time three-dimensional graphic image of the vehicle’s
  surroundings. The image appears in the centre of the instrument
  cluster and helps to give the driver a clearer overview of what is
  happening on the road, especially when driving on multi-lane highways.
  This means the driver can also register the position of other road
  users driving in front of or alongside them when they glance down at
  the speedometer or rev counter.</p>
<p>
<strong>BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant with separate iDrive menu
    and individual configurability.</strong></p>
<p>The BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant enjoys additional
  functionality gains. Since July 2019 users have been able to access
  all the relevant settings via a separate menu in the BMW Operating
  System 7.0. This means the driver can adjust the functioning of the
  BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant according to the driving situation
  at hand. For example, the intelligent and proactive functions can be
  switched on and off, and notifications and phone calls can be
  anonymised if passengers are on board.</p><div class="import-contacts-wrapper"><div class="import-contact">Press Contact: Jeroen Lissens<br/>Tel: +32-3-890-9708<br/>e-mailadres: <a href="mailto:jeroen.lissens@bmw.be">jeroen.lissens@bmw.be</a></div></div></div>]]></description><category><![CDATA[Press Release,X5,X6,1 Series,5 Series,5 Door,Gran Coupé,G30,G07,X7,330e,G05,8 Series,G20,530e,G06,F40,G16]]></category>

<p>
<strong>Munich.</strong> A combination of peerless dynamics and
  exemplary efficiency defines the character of the new BMW 3 Series
  Sedan. And now the addition to the range of drive solutions of a
  plug-in hybrid system brings an extra, particularly future-focused
  angle to the new sports sedan’s core attributes. The latest generation
  of BMW eDrive technology teams up with a four-cylinder petrol engine
  to significantly enhance the sporting prowess of the new BMW 330e
  Sedan (whose worldwide market launch is now underway) and deliver an
  even richer electric driving experience. Making its debut appearance
  in a BMW, the standard-fitted XtraBoost raises the system output of
  the plug-in hybrid to a maximum 215 kW/292 hp. The lightning-fast
  responses of the drive system headline the new BMW 330e Sedan’s
  driving characteristics. Added to which, its electric range is over
  50 per cent greater than that of its predecessor; 66 kilometres (41
  miles)* is possible with zero local emissions. Fuel consumption and
  emissions are down by more than 15 per cent on the levels of the
  predecessor model – to 1.9 – 1.6 litres per 100 kilometres (148.7 –
  176.6 mpg imp)* and 43 – 37 grams of per kilometre*.</p>

<div> </div>
<p>In the new BMW 330e Sedan, the intelligently controlled interplay of
  electric motor and combustion engine reaches a whole new level. The
  electrification of the powertrain contributes more than ever not only
  to increasing efficiency but also to a distinctive form of driving
  pleasure. The plug-in hybrid system pools the abilities of a 2.0-litre
  four-cylinder petrol engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology and
  output of 135 kW/184 hp with the talents of an electric motor, which
  generates peak output of 83 kW/113 hp. Together, the two drive sources
  produce maximum system torque of 420 Nm (310 lb-ft).</p>
<p>
<strong>Premiere in the new BMW 330e Sedan: XtraBoost for maximum
    dynamic performance.</strong></p>
<p>A brand-new feature – and included as standard in the new BMW
  330e Sedan – is XtraBoost, which reveals the car at its most dynamic.
  The driver can quickly bring XtraBoost into play by activating SPORT
  mode with the Driving Experience Control switch. A vigorous stamp on
  the accelerator uncorks an additional 30 kW/40 hp on top of the
  combined 185 kW/252 hp already generated by the combination of
  electric motor and combustion engine – and XtraBoost keeps it on tap
  for up to 10 seconds. The result is the signature powertrain character
  of the BMW 3 Series Sedan, comprising (for the first time in a hybrid
  model from BMW) incredibly sporty yet also precise accelerator
  response, and a specific shift program for the eight-speed Steptronic
  transmission including engine-braking downshifts.</p>
<p>The instant-impact XtraBoost delivers a significantly more intense
  experience of acceleration than a conventionally powered vehicle with
  comparable output could offer. For example, if the driver suddenly
  puts their foot down hard from 20 km/h (12 mph), in as little as a
  second the new BMW 330e Sedan accelerates with around twice the vigour
  of a car powered solely by a combustion engine. Within three seconds,
  it opens up a car’s-length gap. XtraBoost can still be accessed with
  the high-voltage battery at minimum charge, as well as in kickdown and
  with the transmission selector lever in the M or S position.</p>
<p>The new BMW 330e Sedan sprints from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in
  5.9 seconds en route to a top speed of 230 km/h (143 mph). The driving
  experience is accompanied by a model-specific and emotionally engaging
  drive system note, which also finds its way into the interior. And so
  the new BMW 330e Sedan vividly showcases its sporty and dynamic side,
  blended with the proven qualities of a plug-in hybrid car.</p>
<p>
<strong>Pure-electric driving at up to 140 km/h (87 mph).</strong></p>
<p>In the HYBRID driving mode, the new BMW 330e Sedan can hit speeds of
  up to 110 km/h (68 mph) on electric power alone – an increase of
  30 km/h (19 mph) over its predecessor. And ELECTRIC mode opens the
  door to locally emission-free driving at 140 km/h (87 mph), up from
  120 km/h (75 mph). Hybrid-specific standard features of the new BMW
  330e Sedan include acoustic pedestrian protection. When driving on
  electric power, an exterior speaker system generates an unmistakable
  sound created specifically for electrified BMWs. At low speeds, the
  drive system’s bespoke note exudes aural presence, without impinging
  on the acoustic comfort of those on board.</p>
<p>The new BMW 330e Sedan’s electric motor is integrated into the
  eight-speed Steptronic transmission, saving space. Intelligent design
  allows the hybrid-specific version of the transmission to be no more
  than 15 millimetres longer than corresponding variants for
  conventionally powered variants of the new BMW 3 Series Sedan. Power
  generation by means of braking energy recuperation, where the electric
  motor plays the role of a generator, works particularly effectively.
  The electric energy channelled into the high-voltage battery either in
  this way or when plugged into the power grid also feeds the 12-volt
  on-board power supply. All of which renders a combustion engine-driven
  generator surplus to requirements and further enhances overall system efficiency.</p>
<p>
<strong>High range and efficiency.</strong></p>
<p><img src="https://content.presspage.com/uploads/3240/c0eb34b4-b0e8-49dd-a486-d77108cec4dd/P90359976_highRes_the-all-new-bmw-330e.jpg"/> With a gross energy content of 12.0 kWh, the
  lithium-ion high-voltage battery in the new BMW 330e Sedan enables an
  increase in electric range of more than 50 per cent over its
  predecessor – to 59 – 66 kilometres (37 – 41 miles)*. Meanwhile, the
  second generation of the plug-in hybrid sports sedan cuts fuel
  consumption and emissions by over 15 per cent to 1.9 – 1.6 litres per
  100 kilometres (148.7 – 176.6 mpg imp)* and 43 – 37 grams of
  CO<sub>2</sub> per kilometre*. The combined-cycle electric power
  consumption of the new BMW 330e Sedan is 15.4 – 14.8 kWh per 100 kilometres*.</p>
<div> </div>
<p>The high-voltage battery in the new BMW 330e Sedan is mounted under
  the rear seats, while the petrol tank sits over the rear axle. This
  means the plug-in hybrid’s cargo-carrying ability is only slightly
  reduced, and load capacity of 375 litres can be expanded as required
  thanks to the 40 : 20 : 40 split/folding rear-seat backrests.</p>
<p>Customers opting for the plug-in hybrid model can choose from
  virtually the full list of options otherwise available for the new BMW
  3 Series Sedan. The new BMW 330e Sedan is also offered in Advantage,
  Sport Line, Luxury Line or M Sport form as an alternative to basic
  specification. And it can be ordered with features including Adaptive
  M suspension with variable sport steering and M Sport brakes. From
  November 2019, the new BMW 330e Sedan will also be available with a
  trailer coupling with electrically pivoting hitch ball. The maximum
  trailer load for the plug-in hybrid model is 750 kilograms.</p>
<p>
<strong>Auxiliary heating and air conditioning as standard.</strong></p>
<p>The full selection of innovative comfort- and safety-optimising
  driver assistance systems – from the Driving Assistant Professional
  with steering and lane control assistant to the Parking Assistant
  including reversing assistant – is also available. Standard
  specification for the new BMW 330e Sedan includes preconditioning of
  the interior with the heating or air conditioning. Energy stored in
  the high-voltage battery is used to power the auxiliary heating. In
  low outside temperatures, this means the interior can be warmed up
  with user-friendly ease before getting into the car, even when the
  battery charge is low. This interior preconditioning function also
  allows the interior to be cooled in higher ambient temperature.</p>
<p>With the launch of the new BMW 330e Sedan, new digital services will
  be presented which make charging the high-voltage battery during a
  journey even easier and more attractive. Selecting a public charging
  station prompts the navigation system to come up with recommendations
  on nearby hotels, restaurants, cafés and sights or cultural centres.
  And it is also possible to check the whereabouts of charging stations
  via the display and control system. The driver can likewise check the
  predicted availability of public charging points at the time of
  arrival. Added to which, it will be possible to reserve charging
  points for a limited time, should this facility be offered by the
  charging infrastructure operator in question.</p>
<p>The drive technology presented in the plug-in hybrid model variant of
  the new sports sedan will also be available in the new
  BMW 330e Touring from summer 2020. This will be the first time
  customers ordering a Touring model from BMW can choose a plug-in
  hybrid drive system. The new offering sees BMW forging ahead with its
  model offensive for vehicles with electrified drive systems.</p>
<p>
<strong>BMW plug-in hybrid models offer an array of benefits in
    everyday use.</strong></p>
<p>BMW’s plug-in hybrid drive systems already offer users a host of
  additional benefits over traditional solutions:</p>
<ul>
<li>Money-saving: Electric driving in urban areas is cheaper than
    using petrol or diesel if the plug-in hybrid vehicle is charged at
    home or at the workplace at low cost.</li>
<li>Interior always at the right temperature, even before you get in:
    auxiliary heating and auxiliary air conditioning are fitted as standard.</li>
<li>Braking is winning: The battery is charged under braking. In
    conventional vehicles, braking generates only heat and brake dust.</li>
<li>The best of both worlds: Plug-in hybrids provide electric driving
    pleasure in urban areas and classical BMW driving pleasure over
    longer distances.</li></ul>
<ul>
<li>Smoothing the way into the future: Because a plug-in hybrid can
    run emission-free, it is eligible to enter many low-emission zones,
    enjoys extra parking privileges and saves on toll charges.</li>
<li>Better quality of life in cities: By driving on electric power,
    users can actively contribute to reducing emissions and traffic
    noise in cities.</li></ul>
<p>
<strong>Future-proof: BMW eDrive Zones ensure emission-free driving in
    low-emission zones.</strong></p>
<p>The new BMW 330e Sedan is ready to take advantage of low-emission
  zones designated by cities exclusively for zero-emission driving. With
  the new BMW eDrive Zones function (which will be part of standard
  equipment for BMW plug-in hybrid models from 2020 and can be
  retrofitted), geofencing technology will make it possible to detect
  low-emission zones automatically. When entering these zones, the
  vehicle switches into pure-electric driving mode automatically, from
  which point it behaves like a fully-electric vehicle and can therefore
  enjoy equal access rights (subject to local regulations). The new
  function ensures the potential of plug-in hybrid vehicles is utilised
  to even greater effect. The increase in the proportion of journeys
  driven on electric power not only plays a role in optimising
  efficiency, it also helps to reduce operating costs for customers.
  This applies to driving in urban areas, in particular, where an
  electric drive system delivers a higher level of efficiency across the
  board than a petrol or diesel engine.</p>
<p>
<strong>New BMW 330e Sedan has a smaller overall CO<sub>2</sub> footprint.</strong></p>
<p>The “real” environmental impact of plug-in hybrid vehicles has been
  questioned on occasion, especially in markets where the proportion of
  green energy used by the public energy grid remains small. The BMW
  Group conducted a full-cycle CO<sub>2</sub> certification for the new
  BMW 330e Sedan – from raw material procurement, the supply chain,
  production and the use phase, all the way to recycling.</p>
<p>This revealed the CO<sub>2</sub> footprint of the new BMW 330e Sedan
  to be 20 per cent smaller than that of the new BMW 330i Sedan when
  running on average European power in the use phase. When charging the
  car with green energy, its CO<sub>2</sub> footprint is reduced by as
  much as 60 per cent.</p><div class="import-contacts-wrapper"><div class="import-contact">Press Contact: Jeroen Lissens<br/>Tel: +32-3-890-9708<br/>e-mailadres: <a href="mailto:jeroen.lissens@bmw.be">jeroen.lissens@bmw.be</a></div></div></div>]]></description><category><![CDATA[Press Release,330e,G20]]></category>

<p>
<strong>Munchen/Genève:</strong> BMW gaat in sneltempo verder met de
  elektrificatie van zijn gamma en presenteert de nieuwste plug-in
  hybride modellen op het komende Autosalon van Genève (7 tot en met 17
  maart). Tegelijk presenteert BMW een nieuwe sports activity vehicle
  (SAV) met elektrische aandrijving: de BMW X3 wordt vanaf december 2019
  ook als plug-in hybride geproduceerd. Daarmee is de BMW X3 de eerste
  SAV die BMW aanbiedt met zowel een conventionele verbrandingsmotor als
  met een plug-in hybride aandrijflijn – en in 2020 volgt ook nog een
  volledig elektrisch aangedreven versie.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="https://content.presspage.com/uploads/3240/472e56b4-3a80-4ad6-b673-410739fadd9b/P90335983_highRes_the-bmw-i3s-the-bmw-.jpg"/> In 2018 verstevigde BMW Group opnieuw zijn positie
  als pionier en marktleider op het gebied van auto’s met een vorm van
  elektrische aandrijving (bron: IHS Markit New Registrations 2018
  Report 04.01. 2019). Met een marktaandeel wereldwijd van meer dan 9%
  is BMW Group de grootste van de premium aanbieders van auto’s met puur
  elektrische en plug-in hybride aandrijving. In 2018 was de BMW Group
  in Duitsland, China én België de marktleider in het premium segment
  van auto’s met elektrische aandrijving. Met een marktaandeel van meer
  dan 16% stond BMW Group opnieuw ook in Europa op de eerste plaats in
  de verkoopranglijst van auto’s met elektrische aandrijving. BMW Group
  noteerde in 2018 een wereldwijd verkooprecord met meer dan 140.000
  puur elektrische en plug-in hybride auto’s. Dat is een toename van
  38,4% ten opzichte van 2017.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Als één van de vier toekomstgerichte onderwerpen van ACES
  (Autonomous, Connected, Electrified and Services/Shared – ofwel
  autonoom, verbonden, geëlektrificeerd en diensten/delen), is
  elektrische mobiliteit een van de belangrijkste aspecten van BMW’s
  strategie NUMBER ONE > NEXT. BMW Group wil tegen eind dit jaar meer
  dan een half miljoen auto’s met elektrische aandrijving op de weg hebben.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="https://content.presspage.com/uploads/3240/f399fbf7-a090-4a57-9683-ea1debfaaf55/P90335970_highRes_bmw-group-electrifie.jpg"/></p>
<p>BMW Group zal eind 2019 twaalf modellen met elektrische aandrijving
  in het gamma hebben, te weten: de volledig elektrisch aangedreven BMW
  i3 (BMW i3: gecombineerd energieverbruik: 13,1 kWh/ 100 km*; BMW i3s:
  gecombineerd energieverbruik: 14,0-14,6 kWh/100 km*), de BMW i8 Coupé
  (gecombineerd brandstofverbruik: 1,8 l/100 km; gecombineerd
  energieverbruik: 14,0 kWh/100 km; gecombineerde CO2-emissie uit
  brandstof: 42 g/km*) en de BMW i8 Roadster (gecombineerd
  brandstofverbruik: 2,0 l/100 km; gecombineerd energieverbruik: 14,5
  kWh/100 km; gecombineerde CO2-emissie uit brandstof: 46 g/km*). En dan
  zijn er nog de plug-in hybride varianten van de BMW X5, de BMW X3, de
  BMW 2 Reeks, de BMW 3 Reeks, de BMW 5 Reeks, de BMW 7 Reeks en de BMW
  X1 xDrive25Le die in China wordt geproduceerd voor de lokale markt. De
  MINI Cooper SE Countryman ALL4 (gecombineerd brandstofverbruik:
  2,4-2,5 l/100 km; gecombineerd energieverbruik 13,4-13,7 kWh/100 km;
  gecombineerde CO2-emissie: 55-56 g/km*) en de volledig elektrische
  MINI completeren het twaalftal geëlektrificeerde modellen. Niet alleen
  dat grote aantal is uniek, ook de variëteit is dat – van het premium
  compacte segment via het (hogere) middensegment tot in het segment van
  de luxe, sportieve auto’s én in de segmenten van de sportauto’s en de
  SAV’s. BMW Group verwacht dat in 2025 het aanbod van elektrische
  modellen van de merken in de groep is toegenomen tot minimaal 25.</p>
<p>
<strong> </strong></p>
<p>
<strong>Wereldpremière: de BMW X3 xDrive30e met plug-in hybride aandrijving.</strong></p>
<p><img src="https://content.presspage.com/uploads/3240/0fd851d7-2fee-4e8d-ac18-2c313c25bce9/P90336018_highRes_the-bmw-x3-xdrive30e.jpg"/></p>
<p>BMW start in december 2019 met de productie van een SAV met plug-in
  hybride aandrijving en breidt daarmee zijn gamma van auto’s met
  elektrische aandrijving verder uit. De BMW X3 xDrive30e maakt zijn
  werelddebuut op de komende Autosalon van Genève. De auto combineert de
  veelzijdigheid van een premium middelgrote SAV met de vooruitstrevende
  BMW eDrive technologie. Zijn robuuste karakter, sportieve prestaties
  en BMW xDrive vierwielaandrijving – ook actief als alleen de
  elektromotor de auto aandrijft – zijn gecombineerd met een bijzonder
  laag brandstofverbruik en bijzonder lage emissie. Met de allernieuwste
  accutechnologie heeft de BMW X3 xDrive30e een puur elektrische
  actieradius van tot wel 50 kilometer*. Dankzij BMW eDrive technologie
  is het gecombineerde brandstofverbruik beperkt tot minder dan 2,4
  l/100 km*, met een CO2-emissie van hooguit 56 g/km*.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Het plug-in hybride systeem in de BMW X3 xDrive30e bestaat uit een
  4-cilinder benzinemotor met BMW TwinPower Turbo techniek en een
  elektromotor. Beide krachtbronnen drijven de wielen aan via een
  8-traps Steptronic transmissie en de intelligente vierwielaandrijving.
  Het systeemvermogen bedraagt 185 kW (252 pk) en kan tijdelijk worden
  verhoogd met 30 kW (41 pk) door gebruikmaking van het piekvermogen van
  de elektromotor. De BMW X3 xDrive30e accelereert in slechts 6,5
  seconden (onder voorbehoud) vanuit stilstand naar 100 km/u.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Het nieuwste plug-in hybride model van BMW is uitgerust met een
  lithium-ion-accu die ruimtebesparend onder de achterbank is
  gemonteerd. Met een bagageruimte van 450 liter doet de BMW X3
  xDrive30e niet onder voor de modelvarianten met conventionele aandrijflijn.</p>
<p>
<strong> </strong></p>
<p>
<strong>Andere wereldpremières in Genève: BMW 330e Berline, BMW X5
    xDrive45e en de plug-in hybride versies van de nieuwe BMW 7 Reeks.</strong></p>
<p><img src="https://content.presspage.com/uploads/3240/69959ced-6baf-413d-a578-1f71602c264c/P90336006_highRes_bmw-plug-in-hybrids-.jpg"/> De leidende rol van BMW Group op het gebied van
  elektrische aandrijving komt ook tot uitdrukking in het huidige
  motorengamma. Op de Autosalon van Genève van dit jaar presenteert BMW
  de tweede generatie van plug-in hybride modellen in drie segmenten.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>De nieuwe BMW 330e Berline is bijzonder indrukwekkend, niet alleen
  vanwege de elektrische actieradius van 60 kilometer – ten opzichte van
  die van zijn voorganger een toename van maar liefst 50%. Maar ook
  vanwege de reductie van het brandstofverbruik tot maximaal 1,7 l/100
  km* en van de CO2-emissie tot 39 g/km*. En dat alles gecombineerd met
  het kenmerkende rijplezier dat de sportberline biedt. Het
  systeemvermogen van de plug-in hybride aandrijflijn bedraagt 185 kW
  (252 pk) – met de mogelijkheid om dat met de standaard XtraBoost
  tijdelijk met nog eens 30 kW (41 pk) te verhogen. Daarmee accelereert
  de nieuwe BMW 330e Berline vanuit stilstand naar 100 km/u in 6,0
  seconden (onder voorbehoud).</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="https://content.presspage.com/uploads/3240/4ad7ebbe-ed46-41a3-a804-ed285a68ce0d/P90336007_highRes_the-bmw-x5-xdrive45e.jpg"/></p>
<p>Ook de nieuwste versie van de BMW X5 met plug-in hybride aandrijving
  biedt meer vermogen, verbeterde efficiency en een grotere elektrische
  actieradius. De nieuwe BMW X5 xDrive45e is nu uitgerust met een
  aangepaste 6-cilinder-in-lijn benzinemotor en een elektromotor – met
  een systeemvermogen dat is toegenomen tot 290 kW (394 pk). Het kost
  deze SAV slechts 5,6 seconden (onder voorbehoud) om vanuit stilstand
  naar 100 km/u te accelereren. De elektrische actieradius bedraagt
  ongeveer 80 kilometer*, bijna drie keer zo veel als die van zijn
  voorganger. Daardoor zijn de dagelijkse ritten naar het werk en naar
  huis gemakkelijk puur elektrisch aangedreven af te leggen, zodat de
  lokale CO2-emissie wordt gereduceerd tot 0 g/km. Maar met zijn 69
  liter brandstoftank is de BMW X5 xDrive45e ook perfect geschikt voor
  lange ritten. De vooruitstrevende plug-in hybride aandrijftechnologie
  reduceert het gecombineerde brandstofverbruik tot maximaal 2,1 l/100
  km* en de CO2-emissie uit brandstof tot maximaal 49 g/km*. De
  kwaliteiten als reisauto blijken ook uit de veelzijdige bagageruimte.
  De inhoud van 500 tot 1.716 liter is slechts weinig minder dan die van
  de modelvarianten met conventionele aandrijving.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>De grensverleggende, veelzijdige kwaliteiten van de BMW X5 xDrive45e
  worden perfect aangevuld door de intelligente vierwielaandrijving
  BMWxDrive. Die brengt de power van beide krachtbronnen over naar alle
  vier wielen en zorgt voor sportief rijplezier op de weg en uitmuntende
  tractie en prestaties op onverhard terrein.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="https://content.presspage.com/uploads/3240/defef040-1dfe-4a07-b754-4bbbd3215426/P90336003_highRes_the-bmw-745le-sedan-.jpg"/> In de plug-in hybride varianten van de nieuwe BMW 7
  Reeks zijn de sportieve flair, het reiscomfort en de aangename
  ambiance van een luxueuze berline gecombineerd met de mogelijkheid om
  lokaal emissievrij en vrijwel geluidloos te rijden. De elektrische
  actieradius is met ongeveer 30% uitgebreid ten opzichte van de
  actieradius van de voorgangers en bedraagt nu 50 tot 58 kilometer*.
  Het gamma omvat de BMW 745e (gecombineerd brandstofverbruik: 2,1-2,3
  l/100 km; gecombineerd energieverbruik 15,1-15,6 kWh/100 km;
  gecombineerde CO2-emissie: 48-52 g/km*), de langere BMW 745Le
  (gecombineerd brandstofverbruik: 2,2-2,3 l/100 km; gecombineerd
  energieverbruik: 15,6-15,7 kWh/100 km; gecombineerde CO2-emissie:
  50-53 g/km) en de BMW 745Le xDrive (gecombineerd brandstofverbruik:
  2,3-2,6 l/100 km; gecombineerd energieverbruik: 15,8-16,3 kWh/100 km;
  gecombineerde CO2-emissie: 52-59 g/km*) met verlengde wielbasis en
  vierwielaandrijving. De aandrijflijn bestaat nu uit een speciaal voor
  deze versie aangepaste 6-cilinder-in-lijn benzinemotor in combinatie
  met een elektromotor. Als de bestuurder met de Driving Experience
  Control de SPORT-modus kiest, kan hij beschikken over een
  systeemvermogen van 290 kW (394 pk). De nieuwe BMW 745e accelereert in
  5,2 seconden vanuit stilstand naar 100 km/u, de nieuwe BMW 745Le doet
  dat in 5,3 seconden en de nieuwe BMW 745Le xDrive in slechts 5,1 seconden.</p>

<p>
<strong>BMW 530e Berline en BMW 225xe Active Tourer met
    doorontwikkelde lithium-ion-accu’s en een grotere elektrische actieradius.</strong></p>
<p>Nieuwe ontwikkelingen op het gebied van batterijceltechnologie
  leidden ook tot een uitbreiding van de mogelijkheden om lokaal
  emissievrij te rijden in de plug-in hybride varianten van de BMW 5
  Reeks en BMW 2 Reeks. Hoewel de afmetingen niet zijn veranderd, is de
  brutocapaciteit van de nieuwe lithium-ion-accu voor de plug-in hybride
  versie van de BMW 5 Reeks Berline nu toegenomen van 9,2 tot 12,0 kWh.
  Dat betekent dat de puur elektrische actieradius met meer dan 30% is
  gegroeid tot 64 kilometer*. De BMW 530e Berline heeft nu een
  gecombineerd brandstofverbruik van 1,7 l/100 km* en een CO2-emissie
  van 38 g/km*. Als extra modelvariant verschijnt vanaf juli 2019 de
  vierwielaangedreven BMW 530e xDrive Berline. Die heeft een puur
  elektrische actieradius van maximaal 57 kilometer*. Het gecombineerde
  brandstofverbruik bedraagt 1,9 l/100 km* met een CO2-emissie van 44 g/km*.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="https://content.presspage.com/uploads/3240/1f357c63-7d44-4028-aa53-8659b2f8f76c/P90335978_highRes_the-bmw-225xe-active.jpg"/> In de BMW 225xe Active Tourer plaveit
  state-of-the-art batterijceltechnologie de weg voor nog lagere
  verbruikscijfers en een toename van 25% van de puur elektrische
  actieradius tot 47 kilometer*. Ook hier zijn de afmetingen gelijk
  gebleven, maar is de brutocapaciteit van de lithium-ion-accu
  toegenomen van 7,7 tot 9,7 kWh. Het gecombineerde brandstofverbruik
  van de BMW 225xe Active Tourer is 1,9 l/100 km*, het gecombineerde
  energieverbruik 14,7 kWh/100 km en de CO2-emissie 43 g/km*. De
  speciaal voor de hybrideversie ontwikkelde vierwielaandrijving draagt
  bij aan de sportieve en veelzijdige rijeigenschappen van de BMW 225xe
  ActiveTourer. De standaarduitrusting en de opties omvatten talloze
  moderne rijdersassistentiesystemen en de nieuwste innovaties op het
  gebied van intelligente connectiviteit en digitale diensten – voor
  extra gemak bij het opladen van de hoogvoltage-accu en een nog
  intensere beleving van elektrisch rijden.</p>

<p>
<strong>De modernste accutechnologie, nieuw bedieningssysteem en
    innovatieve digitale diensten voor een optimale elektrische rijervaring.</strong></p>
<p><img src="https://content.presspage.com/uploads/3240/91ef14d6-6035-40de-a82b-e1a06b060e23/P90336009_highRes_the-bmw-330e-sedan-i.jpg"/> Behalve de nieuwste accutechnologie zijn de plug-in
  hybride varianten van de nieuwe BMW 3 Reeks Berline, BMW X5 en BMW 7
  Reeks ook voorzien van een nieuw display- en bedieningssysteem en
  innovatieve digitale diensten voor een nog intensere beleving van
  elektrisch rijden. De standaarduitrusting omvat de BMW Live Cockpit
  Professional met nieuw vormgegeven schermen in het instrumentenpaneel
  en de Control Display, die heldere informatie geeft over de
  laadtoestand van de accu, de resterende elektrische actieradius en de
  ingestelde modus van de plug-in hybride aandrijving. De knoppen voor
  het selecteren van de rijmodus zijn nu geïntegreerd in de Driving
  Experience Control. Daarmee is met een simpele druk op de knop de
  SPORT-modus in te schakelen voor extra dynamische instellingen en de
  ADAPTIVE-modus voor instellingen die zijn aangepast aan de rijstijl
  van de bestuurder en de situatie. Ook zijn er nog drie aandrijfmodi te
  kiezen – HYBRID, ELECTRIC en BATTERY CONTROL. De HYBRID-modus is de
  standaardinstelling die zorgt voor balans en optimale samenwerking van
  de verbrandingsmotor en de elektromotor. Het is ook mogelijk om via
  het iDrive menu de ELECTRIC-modus te kiezen als standaardmodus. De
  HYBRID-knop moet twee keer worden ingedrukt om de extra efficiënte
  HYBRID ECO PRO-modus te activeren. De coasting-functie draagt eveneens
  bij aan een nog verdere reductie van het brandstofverbruik.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Het intelligente energiemanagementsysteem is ook geoptimaliseerd.
  Door de koppeling aan het navigatiesysteem is de samenwerking van de
  verbrandings- en de elektromotor nog preciezer aangepast aan de route
  en de situatie op de weg. In de BMW 330e Berline en de BMW X5
  xDrive45e maakt het energiemanagementsysteem gebruik van gegevens van
  de navigatie en van sensors om optimaal remenergie terug te winnen in
  de HYBRID ECO PRO-modus. Als de auto een kruising of een voorligger
  nadert, kan de terugwinning van de remenergie worden geïntensiveerd om
  de auto af te remmen.</p>

  aan wanneer de accu volledig is opgeladen.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nieuwe digitale diensten maken het aantrekkelijker en gemakkelijker
  om de hoogvoltage-accu onderweg op te laden. Het navigatiesysteem
  toont bijvoorbeeld de hotels, restaurants, cafés, bezienswaardigheden
  en culturele attracties in de nabijheid van het geselecteerde openbare
  oplaadpunt. Klanten ontvangen ook een verwachting van de
  beschikbaarheid/bezetting van het laadstation. Verder biedt BMW
  gebruikers van ChargeNow de mogelijkheid om een laadpunt voor een
  beperkte tijd de reserveren vanuit de auto (onder voorbehoud van
  lancering in Belux).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>BMW heeft een kenmerkend geluid ontwikkeld voor de modellen met
  elektrische aandrijving, waarmee voetgangers worden gewaarschuwd voor
  de aanwezigheid van de verder geluidloze auto. Het geluid is via een
  speakersysteem hoorbaar als de auto langzaam en elektrisch rijdt.
  Overigens heeft het geluid geen nadelige invloed op het geluidscomfort
  van de inzittenden van de BMW.</p>

<br/>
<strong>Munich.</strong> Superior driving dynamics and exemplary
  efficiency are the key characteristics of the new BMW 3 Series Sedan.
  With the extension of the engine portfolio to include a plug-in hybrid
  system, these essential properties of the new sports sedan acquire an
  additional and especially pioneering dimension. In the new BMW 330e
  Sedan, the latest generation of BMW eDrive Technology is combined with
  a 4-cylinder petrol engine to provide a significant increase in sporty
  flair as well as an even more intense electrically powered driving
  experience. The first ever standard XtraBoost integrated in a BMW
  model temporarily increases the system output of the plug-in hybrid
  drive from 185 kW/252 hp with an addition of up to 30 kW/41 hp. In
  addition to spontaneity of response, this also increases the
  electrical range of the new BMW 330e Sedan as compared to the
  predecessor model by 50 per cent. It is now possible to cover a
  distance of up to 60 kilometres* on a locally emissions-free basis.
  Fuel consumption and emission figures are reduced by more than 10 per
  cent as compared to the predecessor model to up to 1.7 litres* per 100
  kilometres and up to 39 grams* per kilometre.</p>
<p>In the new BMW 330e Sedan, intelligently controlled interaction
  between the electric motor and the combustion engine reaches a whole
  new level. More than ever, the electrification of the powertrain
  contributes not just to increased efficiency but also to creating a
  distinctive form of driving pleasure. The plug-in hybrid system
  comprises a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine with BMW TwinPower
  Turbo Technology and an output of 135 kW/184 hp along with an electric
  motor which generates a continuous output of 50 kW/68 hp and a peak
  output of 83 kW/113 hp. Together, the two drive units develop a system
  output of 185 kW/252 hp along with a maximum system torque of 420 Nm.
  As a result, the new BMW 330e Sedan accelerates from zero to 100 km/h
  in 6.0 seconds. Its top speed is 230 km/h. In HYBRID mode, the new BMW
  330e Sedan is able to reach a speed of up to 110 km/h when running on
  electric power alone – 30 km/h faster than the predecessor model. In
  ELECTRIC mode, locally emissions-free motoring is even possible at
  speeds of up to 140 km/h – previously: 120 km/h.</p>
<p>One new feature of the new BMW 330e Sedan is the standard XtraBoost,
  which gives the vehicle its highest level of dynamic performance. It
  is easy to access by activating SPORT mode using the driving
  experience switch. In order to support the combustion engine in
  dynamic driving situations, the electric motor with XtraBoost
  temporarily provides up to 30 kW/41 hp – stored in the high-voltage
  battery – in addition to its continuous output. This makes the drive
  characteristics available that are typical of the BMW 3 Series Sedan.
  For the first time in a BMW hybrid model, this includes an accelerator
  pedal curve that offers both maximum sporty flair and precision along
  with a specific shifting programme for the 8-speed Steptronic
  transmission complete with brake downshifts. The additional XtraBoost
  makes for a more intense acceleration experience than in a
  conventionally powered vehicle with a comparable engine output. The
  XtraBoost can be used up to the minimum charge status of the high
  voltage battery. It is also available for kickdown manoeuvres and in
  the M/S position of the gear selector lever.</p>
<p>The driving experience is accompanied by a model-specific sound
  design that includes highly emotional engine acoustics inside the
  vehicle, too. As such, the BMW 330e Sedan combines a definite sporty
  and dynamic orientation with the proven qualities of a plug-in hybrid
  model. The hybrid-specific optional equipment features of the new BMW
  330e include an acoustic pedestrian protection function.</p>
<p>The electric motor of the new BMW 330e Sedan is integrated in the
  8-speed Steptronic transmission in order to save space. Due to its
  intelligent design, the hybrid-specific transmission is only 15
  millimetres longer than the corresponding versions for conventionally
  powered models of the new BMW 3 Series Sedan. Power generation
  achieves a particularly high level of efficiency through the
  recuperation of braking energy, with the electric motor taking on the
  function of a generator. The electrical energy fed into the
  high-voltage battery in this way or via connection to the power grid
  also serves to supply the vehicle electrical system. This means that a
  generator powered by the combustion engine is no longer necessary,
  thereby further increasing the efficiency of the system as a whole.</p>
<p>With a gross energy content of 12.0 kWh, the lithium-ion high-voltage
  battery in the new BMW 330e Sedan enables an electrically powered
  range of up to 60 kilometres* – 50 per cent more than that of the
  predecessor model. Meanwhile, fuel consumption and emissions figures
  are reduced by 10 per cent in the second generation of the plug-in
  hybrid sports sedan. These now drop to up to 1.7 litres of fuel per
  100 kilometres* and up to 39 grams of CO<sub>2</sub> per kilometre*.</p>
<p>The high-voltage battery in the new BMW 330e Sedan is positioned
  underneath the rear seats, while the fuel tank is located above the
  rear axle. This means that luggage compartment volume is only slightly
  restricted in the plug-in hybrid model. The storage volume of 375
  litres can be expanded as required by means of the folding rear
  backrest with 40 : 20: 40 split.</p>
<p>In addition, virtually the entire range of optional equipment
  features for the new BMW 3 Series Sedan is available for the plug-in
  hybrid. As alternatives to the basic version, the new BMW 330e also
  comes in the model variants Advantage, Sport Line, Luxury Line and M
  Sport. Among other things it can be fitted with the Adaptive M
  suspension including Variable Sports Steering and the M sports brake
  system. The full programme of innovative driver assistance systems to
  optimise comfort and safety is available – ranging from Driving
  Assistant Professional with steering and lane guidance system to park
  assistant including reverse assistant. The standard trim of the new
  BMW 330e Sedan includes pre-heating and pre-conditioning of the
  interior. Here the energy of the high-voltage battery is also used to
  power the auxiliary heating. At low outdoor temperatures, the interior
  can also be conveniently heated prior to setting off – even if the
  battery charge status is low.For the market launch of the new BMW 330e
  Sedan in summer 2019, new digital services will be presented which
  make it more attractive and convenient to charge the battery while out
  and about. When selecting a public charging station, the navigation
  system also provides the driver with a list of recommended nearby
  hotels, restaurants, cafés, tourist attractions and cultural
  institutions. Charging station availability can also be checked using
  the vehicle display and operating system. The driver receives the
  information along with a forecast of the occupancy status of the
  public charging station at the time of arrival. In addition, selected
  charging stations can be reserved for a limited period in the future.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>
<strong>///</strong></p>
<p>
<strong>Munich. </strong>The new BMW 3 Series Sedan is picking up more
  speed on its way to its market launch in the spring of 2019. The BMW M
  GmbH is now presenting an extremely dynamic model variant of the new
  sports sedan. The BMW M340i xDrive Sedan (combined fuel consumption:
  7.5 l/100 km; combined CO<sub>2</sub> emissions: 172 g/km*) is powered
  by a newly developed straight six-cylinder petrol engine with
  275 kW/374 hp. Together, high engine performance, M-specific
  suspension technology and intelligent four-wheel drive provide for
  outstanding driving dynamics that are unparalleled in the midsize
  segment. The exceptional sporty character is underscored by
  model-specific design and equipment features. The Los Angeles Auto
  Show (30 November – 9 December 2018) will serve as the setting for the
  world premiere of the BMW M340i xDrive Sedan. The market launch will
  commence in the USA in July 2019, followed by Europe in July.</p>
<p>Acceleration, cornering dynamics, agility, precision, braking – the
  BMW M340i xDrive Sedan is setting new benchmarks in all areas relevant
  to driving dynamics. It makes consistent use in particular of the
  vehicle concept of the BMW 3 Series Sedan, which is oriented towards
  sporting driving pleasure and comprises a low centre of gravity,
  optimised weight, well-balanced axle load distribution as well as
  increased body rigidity and uprated suspension mountings. Moreover,
  the suspension technology and aerodynamics are precisely tuned to the
  new power unit’s high performance characteristics. In addition, the
  M Sport suspension, variable sports steering, an M Sport differential,
  the M Sport brake system and 18-inch M light alloy wheels with mixed
  tyres are all standard equipment features for the BMW M340i xDrive Sedan.</p>
<p>
<strong>Straight six-cylinder engine with superior power development
    and characteristic sound.</strong>
<br/><img src="https://content.presspage.com/uploads/3240/48f33363-7e03-4c3b-90d5-9305db780b07/P90329423_highRes_the-all-new-bmw-3-se.jpg"/> The power plant developed for the
  BMW M340i xDrive Sedan raises the vehicle’s characteristics in areas
  of performance, response, revving power, running smoothness and
  efficiency, so typical of BMW straight six-cylinder engines, to a new
  level. The 3-litre engine features an aluminium crankcase and an
  aluminium cylinder head. The turbocharging system, which was
  constructed according to the TwinScroll principle, has also been
  redeveloped. The integration of the compact steel exhaust manifold and
  turbocharger effectuates rapid boost pressure development. A mass
  moment of inertia reduced by around 25 percent enhances turbine
  response and a wide opening, electrically controlled waste gate
  contributes towards better emission values. Fuel supply is performed
  by means of High Precision Injection technology, the injectors of
  which now operate at an injection pressure increased to up to 350 bar.
  The current version of M TwinPower Turbo technology is complemented by
  fully variable valve control VALVETRONIC and variable camshaft control
  Double VANOS.</p>
<p>The drive technology, which has been extensively redeveloped and
  numerous details of which have been completely renewed, provides the
  six-cylinder with an increase in output by 35 kW/48 hp to
  275 kW/374 hp vs. the most powerful engine previously used for the BMW
  3 Series, as well as an increase in maximum torque by 50 Nm to 500 Nm.
  As a result, the car has also clearly gained in sporting prowess. The
  BMW M340i xDrive Sedan completes the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.4
  seconds – half a second faster than the top-of-the-range model of the
  previous generation of the BMW 3 Series Sedan.</p>
<p>Power development and speed increase are accompanied by the
  characteristic sound of the straight six-cylinder engine, which has
  gained additional presence thanks to the M Sport exhaust unit. Above
  all in the SPORT and SPORT+ modes, which can be activated via the
  Driving Experience Control switch, the valve-controlled exhaust system
  generates a particularly distinctive sound. The sound development that
  accompanies the engine’s dynamic power delivery is also intensively
  perceptible inside the BMW M340i xDrive Sedan. The dual-pipe M Sport
  exhaust system is fitted with two petrol particulate filters, enabling
  the BMW M340i xDrive Sedan to meet the requirements of the Euro
  6d-TEMP emissions standard. Combined fuel consumption is 7.5 litres
  per 100 kilometre* and CO<sub>2</sub> emissions are172 grams per kilometre.*</p>

<strong>Standard features: 8-speed Steptronic sports transmission
      and BMW xDrive with rear-wheel bias.</strong>
<br/><img src="https://content.presspage.com/uploads/3240/5dba61b8-58bc-4823-9e53-7be1621526ce/P90329422_highRes_the-all-new-bmw-3-se.jpg"/> The BMW M340i xDrive Sedan comes as standard
    with the 8-speed Steptronic sports transmission of the latest
    generation, which is characterised, amongst other things, by an
    optimised hydraulic control system and exceptionally high shifting
    dynamics. Short ratios for the lower gears improve acceleration and
    the Launch Control function can be used for accelerating with
    maximum dynamics from a standstill. Shift paddles on the steering
    wheel facilitate manual gear selection at any time.</p>
<p>With fully variable power distribution between the front and rear
    axle, the intelligent four-wheel drive technology featured by the
    BMW M340i xDrive Sedan ensures maximum traction, agility and vehicle
    stability. The rear-wheel bias of BMW xDrive supports that
    brand-typical driving experience and is particularly strongly
    effective in the driver experience control modes SPORT and SPORT+.
    The targeted transfer of drive force to the rear wheels enhances
    agility when steering into bends.</p>
<p>Furthermore, the BMW M340i xDrive Sedan is equipped as standard
    with the M Sport differential. The electronically controlled, fully
    variable rear-wheel locking function noticeably contributes not only
    towards an increase in traction, but also enhances stability and
    agility of the vehicle.</p>
<p>
<strong>M-specific suspension technology transforms performance into
    dynamics.<br/></strong>The construction concept used for the
    suspension of the new BMW 3 Series Sedan offers the ideal
    prerequisites for sporty handling. The components of the
    double-joint spring strut front axle and the five-arm rear axle,
    both of which have been optimised in terms of weight and stiffness,
    enhance cornering dynamics and steering precision, as do the larger
    track widths and optimum wheel camber angles. In addition to a
    vehicle lowering by 10mm, the standard M Sport suspension of the
    BMW M340i xDrive Sedan comprises M specific elastokinematics and the
    new lift-related damper control function. The Adaptive M suspension
    with electronically controlled dampers is also optionally available. </p>
<p>A further integral part of the M Sport suspension and the Adaptive
    M suspension is the Variable Sport Steering feature, which supports
    agile cornering with outstanding feedback as well as spontaneous and
    precise response.</p>
<p>Combining an extremely sporty set-up – headlined by short pedal
    travel and a distinct pressure point – the M Sport brake system,
    which also comes as standard, provides effective stopping power. The
    M sport brakes achieve this with a more direct ratio as well as a
    different hydraulic configuration including four-piston, fixed
    calliper brakes and 348 millimetres discs at the front and
    single-piston, floating calliper brakes with 345 millimetres discs
    at the rear. The blue-painted brake callipers bear the M logo. 
    Standard 18-inch M light alloy wheels are combined with mixed tyres.
    Tyres of the format 225/45 R 18 are mounted on the front wheels,
    whilst size 255/40 R 18 tyres are used at the rear. 19-inch M light
    alloy wheels in two designs and 19-inch BMW Individual light alloy
    wheels, likewise fitted with mixed tyres, are also available as an
    option. The 19-inch M light alloy wheels come with high-performance
    tyres facilitating a particularly effective transfer of longitudinal
    and lateral forces.</p>
<p>

    performance characteristics are reflected in model-specific design
    and equipment features. The design of the front apron, the side
    sills and the rear end, optimise both the cooling air supply and
    aerodynamics. Unique design elements include the BMW kidney grille
    boasting a mesh design, the rear spoiler in body colour and
    trapezoidal exhaust tailpipe trims. The vehicle’s exclusive look is
    also complemented by exterior mirror caps, air intake struts, the
    front surfaces of the BMW kidney grille, tailpipe trims and the
    model lettering all finished in Cerium Grey metallic.</p>
<p>Inside the car, sports seats with M-specific upholstery in a
    Sensatec/Alcantara trim, the anthracite BMW Individual roof liner,
    the M leather-clad steering wheel with shift paddles and interior
    trim strips in Aluminium Tetragon provide for an intensive driving
    pleasure oriented ambience. The digital instrument cluster bears the
    lettering “M340i”. A further exclusive design feature of the
    BMW M340i xDrive Sedan are the front door sills also boasting the
    model lettering.</p></div><div class="import-contacts-wrapper"><div class="import-contact">Press Contact: Christophe Weerts<br/>Tel: +32-3-890-9708<br/>e-mailadres: <a href="mailto:christophe.weerts@bmw.be">christophe.weerts@bmw.be</a></div></div></div>]]></description><category><![CDATA[Press Release,Sedan,3 Series,G20]]></category>

<ul>
<li>Zevende generatie van ’s werelds meest succesvolle belichaming van
    rijplezier in het premium segment van middelgrote wagens. Nieuwe BMW
    3 Reeks Berline is sportiever en beschikt over een nieuwe
    designtaal, een sfeervol interieur alsook geavanceerde technologie
    op het gebied van rijassistentiesystemen, bediening en
    connectiviteit. Wereldpremière in oktober 2018 op de Mondial de
    l'Automobile in Parijs, marktintroductie in maart 2019.</li>
<li>Nieuwe aandrijftechnologie resulteert in meer vermogen en
    trekkracht en nog meer efficiency. Tijdens de marktintroductie zijn
    er zes motorvarianten leverbaar. Er is keuze uit viercilinder
    benzine- en dieselmotoren alsook zescilinder dieselmotoren met een
    vermogensbereik van 110 kW (150 pk) tot maar liefst 195 kW (265 pk)
    (gecombineerd brandstofverbruik: 4,2-5,8 l / 100 km; CO2-emissie
    gecombineerd: 112 - 132 g / km)*. Intelligente vierwielaandrijving
    bij de marktintroductie is ook leverbaar op de BMW 320d xDrive
    Berline (gecombineerd brandstofverbruik: 4,5-4,8 l / 100 km,
    gecombineerde CO2 - emissies: 118-125 g / km)*. BMW breidt het
    programma in de loop van 2019 verder uit met een extreem sportief
    BMW M Performance-model en een BMW iPerformance-model met plug-in
    hybride aandrijving.</li>
<li>Nog meer rijdynamiek dankzij verbeterde wielophanging, nieuwe
    dempertechnologie, stijvere carrosseriestructuur en bevestiging van
    wielophanging, toegenomen spoorbreedtes, gewichtsoptimalisatie, een
    laag zwaartepunt en een ideale gewichtsverdeling van 50:50.</li>

    sportonderstel met verlaagde ophanging, adaptief M chassis,
    variabele sportsturing, M sportremsysteem, elektronisch aangestuurd
    M Sport differentieel met volledig variabele sperwerking, tot
    19-inch lichtmetalen wielen.</li>
<li>Herinterpretatie van iconisch ontwerp van BMW-sportberline in de
    nieuwe designtaal van het merk. Strakke lijnen en strak
    gemodelleerde oppervlakken stralen moderne esthetiek, sportiviteit
    en emotie uit. Keuze uit diverse uitvoeringen: Advantage, Sport
    Line, Luxury Line en M Sport.</li>
<li>Geoptimaliseerde aerodynamica, onder meer dankzij Active Air
    Damper Control, luchtgordijnen en bijna volledig vlakke onderzijde.
    Luchtweerstandscoëfficiënt (CW-waarde) is verlaagd van 0,26 naar
    0,23 (BMW 320d).</li>
<li>Uitbreiding van de standaarduitrusting met Full LED-koplampen en
    stijlvol verduisterde LED-achterlichten. LED-koplampen met
    uitgebreid lichtbereik, Adaptieve LED-koplampen met BMW-laserlicht

<li>Interieur met sterk verfijnde premium ambiance is nog meer op
    bestuurder gericht. Overzichtelijk ingedeelde bedieningselementen,
    een nauwkeurige ontwerptaal en hoogwaardige details zorgen voor
    ruimtelijk comfort, moderne dynamiek en exclusiviteit.</li>
<li>Meer schouder- en elleboogvrijheid voorin, zicht achteruit sterk
    verbeterd, meer comfort en beenruimte achterin en een bagageruimte
    van 480 liter met nog betere bruikbaarheid in vergelijking met het
    vorige model. De rugleuning van de achterbank is standaard
    neerklapbaar in een verhouding van 40:20:40.</li>
<li>Uitgebreide standaarduitrusting en innovatieve opties resulteren
    in nog meer comfort, een sfeervol interieur en meer
    individualiseringsmogelijkheden. Nieuwe BMW 3 Reeks Berline beschikt
    over een nieuw met leder afgewerkt sportstuurwiel met
    multifunctionele knoppen en een nieuw bedieningselement voor de
    verlichtingsfuncties. Meer gebruiksgemak is bereikt dankzij een
    nieuw ontworpen transmissiepook en omringend bedieningspaneel op de
    middenconsole met iDrive-controller, start/stop-knop en
    rijmoditoetsen en de schakelaar van de voortaan elektrisch bediende parkeerrem.</li>
<li>LED-binnenverlichting is standaard. Sfeerverlichting met Welcome
    Light Carpet is optioneel leverbaar. Radio Professional met zes

    autonoom rijden: Driving Assistant Professional met verder
    ontwikkelde Active Cruise Control met Stop & Go functie,
    Steering and Lane Control Assistant, Lane Change Warning en Lane

    aanrijdingen, ontwijkassistentie, Crossing Traffic Warning, Priority
    Warning en Wrong-Way Warning. Bovendien is de nieuwe generatie van
    het BMW Head-Up Display beschikbaar.</li>
<li>Parkeren en manoeuvreren nog eenvoudiger dankzij systemen als
    Parking Assistant met automatische geleiding in lengte- en
    dwarsrichting bij het in- en uitrijden van parkeerplaatsen, Park
    Distance Control, een omkeerassistent en een achteruitrijcamera.</li>

    tot 5,7-inch vergroot display en een Control Display met een
    schermdiagonaal van 6,5-inch tot 8,8-inch. Een BMW Live Cockpit

    touchscreenfunctie van het Control Display, via de
    iDrive-controller, met knoppen op het stuurwiel, met BMW Gesture
    Control of via stembesturing.</li>
<li>De nieuwe intelligente Personal Assistent maakt communicatie
    tussen bestuurder en voertuig op het hoogste niveau mogelijk. Het
    systeem leert de voorkeuren van individuele voertuiginstellingen van
    de bestuurder en diens mobiliteitsagenda kennen. De bediening
    verloopt via natuurlijke spraakbediening. Integratie van extra
    digitale diensten is mogelijk.</li>

  work. The new generation of the sports sedan is entering the final
  phase of an extensive programme of testing that every new BMW model
  must go through as part of its pre-production development. Here, the
  full range of stresses and strains a car will encounter over many
  years of everyday driving are reproduced in concentrated form. From
  extended periods driving flat out to endless stop-start traffic,
  sub-zero temperatures to searing heat, twisty country roads and
  high-speed autobahns to pothole-infested tracks, ice and snow to
  gravel and desert sand – the prototypes sent through the test
  programme for the new BMW 3 Series Sedan have experienced everything
  their production equivalents will come across in everyday life. Only
  they have done so at a much higher level of intensity and with
  seasoned developed engineers on board to record in detail the
  pre-production model’s every response to the various weather and road
  conditions and countless other influencing factors. In short, the
  testers ensure there are no circumstances – however unusual – which
  might compromise driving pleasure in the final production car.</p>
<p>Welcome to Death Valley, in the US state of Nevada. Here, it is not
  only the automatic climate control system of the new BMW 3 Series
  Sedan that can expect a taxing work-out. The multi-day heat tests see
  the cars fried repeatedly in the sun for several hours, then cooled
  and thoroughly checked over. Everything has to work, there can be no
  squeaks or creaks – even when the temperature tops 50 degrees Celsius
  in the shade outside the car and 60 degrees inside, and the interior
  is then cooled again as quickly as possible.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Heat, dust, hill climbs and electromagnetism – ideal
    conditions for informative testing.<br /></strong>The heat certainly
  gives the electronics something to think about, but that’s not the
  whole story: the electromagnetic rays emitted by the hydroelectric
  plant at the Hoover Dam represent the ultimate test of strength for
  the functional reliability of the electronic systems on board the new
  3 Series. This is why all the car’s functions – from the digital
  instrument cluster to the tyre pressure indicator – are tested
  extensively in the shadows of the huge forest of electricity pylons on
  the banks of Lake Mead. At the same time, another development team is
  putting engines, transmissions and brakes through their paces. They
  are even given police protection for their runs up and down the
  4,000-metre-high Mount Whitney. While law enforcement secures the test
  route at the top and bottom of the climb, the testers hustle the
  prototypes time and again up the snaking roads and back down –
  accelerating hard and braking suddenly to a standstill with crushing
  frequency. The bone-dry desert roads of Death Valley and beyond also
  provide an ideal place to find out how effective the cars’ flaps,
  doors, bonnets and lids are at keeping out dust. In their test drives
  around the gambling hot-spot of Las Vegas, the engineers leave nothing
  to chance.</p>
<p>There could be few greater contrasts with the hot-weather testing in
  the USA than what goes on at the BMW Group’s winter testing centre not
  far from the Arctic Circle. Arjeplog in Sweden offers the perfect
  conditions for a testing programme that eclipses anything day-to-day
  driving in central Europe, North America or Asia can throw at a car.
  However, Arjeplog doesn’t only give the prototypes the chance to
  demonstrate their imperviousness to extreme cold – it also provides
  the stage for the new model’s chassis controls systems to show off
  their full range of abilities. The closed-off expanses of ice offered
  by Lake Kakel and the “Mellanström-Runde”, one of the most popular
  test routes around Arjeplog, couldn’t be better suited for fine-tuning
  the DSC stability system and its myriad functions. Indeed, on this
  glassy surface you don’t need to drive quickly to provoke the control
  systems into action and therefore analyse their responses. All of
  which allows the link-up between DSC and the xDrive all-wheel-drive
  system and the interplay with the new BMW 3 Series Sedan’s M Sport
  differential to be refined down to the last detail under constant conditions.</p>
<p>Here again, cutting-edge technology helps to identify and
  consistently eliminate weak points. If an inconsistency crops up
  during testing, the engineer presses a button on the small testing
  screen next to the transmission’s selector lever to log it for
  subsequent analysis. For the problem to be solved, the relevant
  situation has to be reproduced exactly. The vehicle data is stored on
  a large hard drive in the car’s boot, pored over every day and reworked.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Dressed to test – in tailored camouflage
  suits</strong>.<br />In the north of Sweden, as in the west of the
  USA, the test drives carried out by the BMW development teams rarely
  go unnoticed. Which means that, to prevent curious onlookers from
  clocking too many details of the new BMW 3 Series Sedan’s design,
  every prototype is carefully clad in a disguise before it heads out
  onto public roads. In the basement of BMW’s Research and Innovation
  Centre (FIZ) in Munich, pre-production vehicles are kitted out with a
  made-to-measure and confusingly patterned cloak of camouflage.
  Applying the black-and-white wrap requires an expert hand and takes a
  whole working day to complete. Then comes the plastic cladding, which
  distorts the lines and surfaces of the car. The light units, sections
  of the window surfaces and, of course, the brand badges also get a
  layer of sticky camouflage. The interior needs to be hidden from sight
  as well. To this end, the cockpit is “curtained off” with black
  matting, which the test engineers partially remove at the start of
  testing and then painstakingly replace at every pause in proceedings –
  so that no prying eyes can spot or even get a photograph of the
  displays and controls.</p>
<p>
  <strong>From a computer model via a test bench to the road.</strong>
  <br />Long before the first test runs on public roads, the development
  process sees each new model taken into the company’s own testing
  facilities. In the initial phase of the programme, computer
  simulations help to set important areas of the car off on the right
  path. Here, the testing programme – which is still purely digital at
  this stage – involves simulating more than 12,000 driving manoeuvres
  (from lane changes to cornering and roundabout driving to dynamic
  acceleration and braking) using a computer-generated vehicle model,
  with the sole aim of determining and optimising its dynamic
  properties. On the basis of the knowledge gained here, development
  mules are made consisting of just a body and chassis. On the
  kinematics compliance test bench they are fixed into a test assembly
  and sent on virtual test drives. A variety of road conditions can be
  faithfully reproduced on this test rig, from cobblestones to the
  Nürburgring’s Nordschleife circuit, so the rigidity of the body
  structure or the susceptibility to vibrations of axle constructions
  can be properly inspected. This intensive development work is
  essential in enabling the first full prototypes to already display the
  target driving characteristics. However, they still have to prove they
  can do it on the road. In normal traffic, on BMW proving grounds and
  on the race track they undergo a detailed tuning process, which gives
  the eventual production cars their inimitable driving pleasure.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Wind tunnel for detailed touches, crash tests for controlled
  deformation.<br /></strong>Optimisation of aerodynamics and passive
  safety also takes place largely behind closed doors. At the BMW
  Group’s Aerodynamic Test Centre in Munich, full-size vehicle models,
  prototypes and production vehicles are tested using precise
  reproduction of real-life airflow conditions on the road. At the
  centre’s wind tunnel, the new BMW 3 Series Sedan has been given the
  detailed touches required to bring its drag coefficient down to 0.23.
  The key factors here are not only how the car manipulates the airflow,
  the ideal channelling of air around the underbody and the optimisation
  of the spoiler lip at the rear of the body, but also details such as
  combinations of wheels and tyres. The introduction of the WLTP fuel
  consumption testing procedure has meant all the wheel variants
  available for a particular model have to be put through an extensive
  aerodynamics test. Every variant is checked to establish how the wheel
  design and tyre size impact on the aerodynamic characteristics of the
  new BMW 3 Series Sedan and therefore its fuel consumption and emissions. </p>
<p>Differences in the stipulations for occupant protection applicable in
  different continents mean that several pre-production examples of a
  new model have to be deformed in a controlled process as part of crash
  testing at BMW’s Safety Centre. As a result, the new BMW 3 Series
  Sedan not only provides driving pleasure to customers around the
  globe, it also meets the full set of safety requirements to score top
  marks in all the relevant crash tests worldwide.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Driving pleasure made in Aschheim, at Miramas and on the Nürburgring.</strong>
  <br />The proving grounds at Aschheim, a few miles north-east of the
  development centre in Munich, provides the venue for undisturbed
  dynamic testing. It was here, at an early stage of the development
  process, where the first steps were taken in imbuing the new BMW 3
  Series Sedan with its impressive dynamic potential. The testing
  programmes at the BMW Group’s test facility in Miramas, southern
  France are even more extensive. Used by BMW for the development and
  testing of new models for over 30 years, Miramas has a long asphalt
  oval, a motorway “ring” for high-speed testing, slalom, twisty and
  spherical tracks, plus several handling courses and circuits with
  surfaces of every kind. Detailed analysis and optimisation of the new
  BMW 3 Series Sedan’s acceleration, steering and braking responses was
  also carried out here.</p>
<p>The acid test for a vehicle’s driving dynamics remains the
  Nürburgring’s Nordschleife circuit. Precise tuning of all powertrain
  and chassis systems is carried out at the legendary venue in Germany’s
  Eifel mountains. Here, too, every lap of testing with the new BMW 3
  Series Sedan carries far more weight than the number of miles notched
  up might suggest. After all, if a car gets the thumbs up from the BMW
  test engineers at the Nordschleife, you can be confident it will
  provide driving pleasure in everyday conditions throughout its lifetime.</p><div class="import-contacts-wrapper"><div class="import-contact">Press Contact: Christophe Weerts<br>Tel: +32-3-890-9708<br>e-mailadres: <a href="mailto:christophe.weerts@bmw.be">christophe.weerts@bmw.be</a></div></div></div>]]></description><category><![CDATA[Press Release,Sedan,3 Series,G20]]></category>

<strong>Munich.</strong> The next generation of the BMW 3 Series
  Limousine is just completing the crucial stages on the way to serial
  production maturity. There was only one possible setting when it came
  to driving dynamics testing and set-up runs: the legendary
  Nordschleife at Nürburgring. Test runs at the "Green Hell"
  traditionally serve as an endurance test for the drive and suspension
  technology of newly developed BMW models. A particularly extensive
  testing programme was developed for the camouflaged prototypes of the
  new BMW 3 Sedan. After all, the comprehensive renewal of the wheel
  suspension, steering, damping/suspension and brakes provided the
  developers with a broad range of opportunities to optimise ride
  comfort and dynamic performance, enabling the ultimate sports sedan
  for the mid-range premium segment to mature lap by lap.</p>
<p>The underlying concept of the four-door model shows just how much the
  development process for the new BMW 3 Series Sedan is geared towards
  enhanced sporty flair. The centre of gravity is some 10 millimetres
  lower than in the predecessor model, axle load distribution is
  balanced at a harmonious 50 : 50 and the total weight adjusted for
  fittings is as much as 55 kilograms less. Meanwhile the rigidity
  levels of the body structure and suspension attachment – so crucial to
  the steering set-up and ride acoustics – have been significantly
  enhanced. The car's agility and steering precision benefit from much
  expanded track widths, while increased wheel camber levels offer
  additional potential for maximum transverse dynamics.</p>
<p>In terms of the engine portfolio, one particularly striking feature
  is a thoroughly revised 4-cylinder petrol engine. It is the most
  powerful 4-cylinder engine ever to be fitted in a BMW series
  production model. Yet its fuel consumption figures are still some 5
  per cent below those of the predecessor engine: one contributing
  factor here is the further developed 8-speed Steptronic transmission.
  What is more, a particulate filter optimises the emissions response of
  the new engine, enabling it to meet the Euro 6d-TEMP exhaust standard.</p>
<p><img src="https://content.presspage.com/uploads/3240/7b107804-0479-4395-89e7-4a4868486f43/P90317733_highRes_testing-at-the-nuerb.jpg"/> Not only is the body lighter and more rigid in
  design than that of the predecessor model, the same is also true of
  the front and rear axle in the new BMW 3 Series Sedan. The result is a
  specific orientation of the axle kinematics and elastokinematics
  towards supreme yet sporty drive properties. The key feature in terms
  of suspension development in the new BMW 3 Series Sedan is its
  innovative damping system. The first ever lift-related dampers ever to
  be fitted in a BMW model function continuously and progressively in
  relation to the respective spring travel. As such, the vibrations that
  occur when compensating for bumps on the road and during dynamic
  cornering can be neutralised especially gently and precisely – the
  perfect basis for striking a unique balance between sporty flair and
  ride comfort, which is very much a defining characteristic of the new
  BMW 3 Series Sedan.</p>
<p>Long known for its diversity, the track layout of the Nürburgring
  Nordschleife quickly transpired as the perfect setting for selective
  refinement of the interaction between the new damping technology and
  the other suspension components. "We're using the lift-related
  dampers as an active set-up element so as to create supreme driving
  properties in all conditions," explains Peter Langen, Head of
  Driving Dynamics. "With short spring travel, a sensitive damping
  response ensures comfortable vibration compensation. When the car
  passes over large bumps, the body movements are controlled by
  increased damping forces."</p>
<p>The lift-related dampers are a standard feature of the suspension
  technology in the new BMW 3 Series Sedan. In a specific set-up they
  also form part of the M sports suspension, which additionally includes
  a lowering of 10 millimetres, 18-inch light alloy wheels and mixed
  tyres. This provides a boost to driving dynamics – something that can
  be experienced more intensely than ever before. The increased damping
  forces can be felt on the Nordschleife in particular: in the M sports
  suspension these are some 20 per cent higher than in the standard
  suspension. "This means the difference from the standard
  suspension is much more perceptible than before," says Peter
  Langen. "We've also made the M sports suspension much sportier,
  with more rigid bearings and stabilisers, harder springs and
  additional body struts."</p>
<p>In order to further reinforce the car's dynamic characteristics, the
  new M sports suspension is offered solely in combination with the
  Variable Sports Steering. In addition to the speed-related steering
  assistance Servotronic, this also provides a variable steering ratio.
  Variable Sports Steering has also been specially reconfigured for the
  new BMW 3 Series Sedan. It already responds with much greater
  precision to slight steering movements, without seeming nervous in
  central position. The harmonious set-up of the steering system can be
  felt on long bends as well as when changing direction several times in
  rapid succession. A linear build-up of steering forces and optimised
  feedback increase precision when cornering in dynamic style.</p>
<p><img src="https://content.presspage.com/uploads/3240/3b25c6ab-8bae-4ef1-a023-b5b68dc0683b/P90317718_highRes_testing-at-the-nuerb.jpg"/> The M sports differential is able to perfectly
  demonstrate its qualities on both the Nordschleife and the Grand Prix
  circuit. The electronically controlled locking function in the rear
  axle differential of the new BMW 3 Series Sedan is linked to Dynamic
  Stability Control DSC, ensuring needs-oriented limitation of rotation
  speed compensation between the rear wheels on the inside and on the
  outside of the bend. Depending on the situation on the road therefore,
  it is possible to pre-emptively influence both understeering and
  oversteering without brake intervention. The active differential lock
  distributes drive torque selectively between the rear wheels. In this
  way, it prevents slip on a wheel with reduced surface grip while
  ensuring that the engine power can be used unrestrictedly to generate
  sporty driving pleasure. "Unlike conventional mechanical locks,
  the regulated M sports differential can optimise so much more than
  just traction," says Peter Langen. "In addition to cornering
  dynamics, there is a particularly tangible increase in drive stability
  in the event of load changes, for example. This allows the new BMW 3
  Series Sedan to be driven remarkably confidently and effortlessly even
  when travelling in dynamic style." For sporty driving, the active
  differential lock provides much higher levels of transverse
  acceleration as well as a perceptible boost in dynamic performance
  when accelerating out of bends. It also supports optimised stability,
  precision and cornering predictability in the new BMW 3 Series Sedan –
  without brake intervention.</p><div class="import-contacts-wrapper"><div class="import-contact">Press Contact: Pieter De Wit<br/>Tel: +32-3-890-9738<br/>e-mailadres: <a href="mailto:pieter.de-wit@bmw.be">pieter.de-wit@bmw.be</a></div></div></div>]]></description><category><![CDATA[Press Release,Sedan,3 Series,G20]]></category>
