Munich. Autumn 2025 adds revised powertrains, new features and practical details to the current BMW model range. The entry-level models into the world of BMW M – the BMW M240i xDrive Coupé as well as the corresponding models in the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series – will in future have more powerful and fuel-efficient petrol engines. In the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé and the BMW i4, the optional Adaptive LED Headlights will now also include laser rear lights.

More power, reduced consumption for BMW M240i xDrive Coupé and the entry-level models into the world of BMW M in the BMW 3 Series and BMW 4 Series.

Autumn 2025 will see both the BMW M340i xDrive Sedan (WLTP combined (EnVKV): fuel consumption 7.5 litres/100 km; CO₂ emissions 172 g/km; CO₂ class F) and the BMW M340i xDrive Touring (WLTP combined (EnVKV): fuel consumption 7.9 litres/100 km; CO₂ emissions 181 g/km; CO₂ class G) fitted with a more powerful variant of the 3.0-litre six-cylinder in-line petrol engine. It now has an output of 288 kW/392 hp, with the mild hybrid system contributing 9 kW/12 hp. The overall increase in power over the previous model is 13 kW/18 hp. Maximum torque has also increased by 40 Nm, to 540 Nm.

This revised powertrain will in future also be fitted in the BMW M440i xDrive Coupé (WLTP combined (EnVKV): fuel consumption 7.7 litres/100 km; CO₂ emissions 175 g/km; CO₂ class F), the BMW M440i xDrive Convertible (WLTP combined (EnVKV): fuel consumption 7.7 litres/100 km; CO₂ emissions 176 g/km; CO₂ class G) and the BMW M440i xDrive Gran Coupé (WLTP combined (EnVKV): fuel consumption 7.8 litres/100 km; CO₂ emissions 179 g/km; CO₂ class G).

The output increase makes for even more dynamic performance in the BMW 3 Series and BMW 4 Series models mentioned above. It shaves 0.1 seconds off the time it takes each model to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h. As a result, the BMW M340i xDrive Sedan can now perform this sprint in just 4.3 seconds. The BMW M240i xDrive Coupé (WLTP combined (EnVKV): fuel consumption 8.0 litres/100 km; CO₂ emissions 183 g/km; CO₂ class G) now also comes fitted with this more powerful engine.

In addition to the output boost, all models benefit from a significant increase in engine efficiency. As a result, the WLTP fuel consumption of the BMW M240i xDrive Coupé, for example, drops from 8.8–8.7 litres/100 km to 8.0 litres/100 km. CO₂ emissions were likewise reduced, from the previous 200–199 g/km to 183 g/km (see table below for all fuel consumption and emissions figures of the new powertrains).

New exterior colours for the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé, Adaptive LED headlights available for more BMW 4 Series models, practical addition for the BMW 5 Series family.
From autumn 2025, an additional exterior colour will be available as an option for all versions of the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé with the M Sport design or the M Sport package. Cape York Green can be ordered for the first time in conjunction with these trim levels.

The optional Adaptive LED Headlights for the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé and BMW i4 will also benefit from a significant upgrade. In addition to headlights that will illuminate the road evenly in every situation, this option will now also include laser rear lights. Moreover, Adaptive LED Headlights are also available as an individual option without the M Sport package Pro for the BMW 420i, BMW 420d and BMW 420d xDrive.

In conjunction with Veganza and Merino upholstery, the comprehensive standard equipment in the BMW X3 now also includes rear headrests and side sections of the second row of seats in the upholstery colour. This further enhances the premium appeal of the BMW X3 interior.

All BMW 5 Series, BMW i5 and BMW M5 Sedan and Touring models will in future offer a very handy feature. A coat hook on the B-pillar trim, provided as standard, makes transporting jackets and coats particularly easy.

Improvements related to BMW Connected Drive.
From autumn 2025, the Charging Guide in the Explore tab of the My BMW app will offer relevant help on all aspects of charging – e.g., “How do I charge?”, or “How do I optimise charging?” This helps to make charging stops as convenient and efficient as possible.

BMW Maps charge-optimised route planning for all-electric vehicles is now also available in BMW vehicles with Operating System 8 and 8.5 in Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Romania, Serbia and Singapore.

Munich. Electric drivetrain upgrades, new engine variants, as well as additional standard and optional equipment features will make the current BMW model range even more attractive and versatile in spring 2025. The use of new components for the power electronics and other measures designed to optimise efficiency have resulted in a considerably increased range for the all-electric BMW i5. Standard equipment on all BMW 5 Series models will soon include ambient lighting complete with a BMW Interaction Bar featuring a crystalline surface, lumbar support for both front seats as well as the Harman Kardon HiFi loudspeaker system. 

Two new variants of the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé will become available in April 2025. The BMW X3 model range will likewise be expanded, with a powerful six-cylinder in-line diesel engine. Almost 50 per cent higher charging rates – that’s the news for the plug-in hybrid variants of the BMW X1, BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, BMW 7 Series and the BMW XM models. With the BMW Digital Key Plus, owners can, depending on the type of mobile device, activate up to 18 digital vehicle keys with individually configured access permissions. The new tyre repair kit Plus will become part of the standard equipment for selected BMW models from March 2025. It enables owners to continue their journey even with a tyre puncture. Adaptive LED Headlights will become part of the standard equipment for the BMW X5 and BMW X6 models in spring 2025. 

BMW i5 and BMW i5 Touring now even more energy-efficient.

From March 2025 the all-electric models of the BMW 5 Series Sedan and BMW 5 Series Touring will benefit from a number of technical advances that reduce their energy consumption. The result is a noticeably greater range, with an increase of up to 47 kilometres (depending on the model and equipment installed as part of an individual vehicle configuration). This owes much to the first ever use of silicon carbide semiconductor components in the power electronics (SiC converter) of the BMW i5 and to particularly low-rolling-resistance tyres fitted to aerodynamic alloy wheels. The optimised wheel bearings will also help save power.

19" aerodynamic wheels 1056 bi-colour are available for the first time as an option for the BMW i5 eDrive40 (combined, WLTP (EnVKV): energy consumption 18.0–17.9 kWh/100 km; CO₂ emissions 0 g/km; CO₂ class A) and the BMW i5 xDrive40 (combined, WLTP (EnVKV): energy consumption 18.9–18.8 kWh/100 km; CO₂ emissions 0 g/km; CO₂ class A).

The optimisations for the new BMW i5 xDrive40 Touring (combined, WLTP (EnVKV): energy consumption 19.5–19.4 kWh/100 km; CO₂ emissions 0 g/km; CO₂ class A) lower WLTP energy consumption by up to 9 per cent (depending on model and equipment installed as part of an individual vehicle configuration), while the new BMW i5 eDrive40 saves up to 8 per cent. 

Standard equipment on the BMW i5 M60 xDrive (combined, WLTP (EnVKV): energy consumption 19.5 kWh/100 km; CO₂ emissions 0 g/km; CO₂ class A) now includes the M Sport package Pro. In addition, the BMW 5 Series models benefit from further interior upgrades. From now on, all models include the previously optional ambient lighting with the BMW Interaction Bar featuring a crystalline surface as standard. In addition, they now come with lumbar support for both front seats, as well as the Harman Kardon HiFi loudspeaker system. The switchgear in the doors has also been upgraded and is now finished in high-gloss Black. BMW Individual Merino Leather in Black/Dark Violet is available as a new option for customising the interior.

BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé: Two additional powertrain variants.
The new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé model range available from March 2025 will include a new entry-level variant. The new BMW 216 Gran Coupé (combined, WLTP (EnVKV): fuel consumption 6.4 l/100 km; CO₂ emissions 145 g/km; CO₂ class E) offers a particularly attractive introduction to the world of hallmark BMW driving pleasure. Its 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol engine has 90 kW/122 hp of power and a peak torque of 230 Nm. The standard seven-speed double-clutch Steptronic transmission directs engine power to the front wheels. Accelerating the new BMW 216 Gran Coupé from 0 to 100 km/h takes 9.9 seconds.

The new BMW 223 xDrive Gran Coupé (combined, WLTP (EnVKV): fuel consumption 6.4–6.3 litres/100 km; CO₂ emissions 144 g/km; CO₂ class E) adds an all-wheel drive variant with 48-volt mild-hybrid technology to the range. Its four-cylinder petrol engine and integrated electric motor deliver a total system output of 160 kW/218 hp. This powertrain adds to the car’s efficiency and is capable of particularly fast responses. The new BMW 223 xDrive Gran Coupé accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.4 seconds. Production of the two new
BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé models will start in March 2025 at the BMW Group plant in Leipzig, Germany. The BMW kidney Iconic Glow is available as part of the Innovation package and enables a purposeful customisation of the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé’s exterior. It provides unique visuals, especially after dark. This option can also be ordered for the BMW 1 Series.

BMW X3 40d xDrive: Especially powerful six-cylinder diesel.
A 3.0-litre six-cylinder in-line diesel from the latest BMW Group engine generation will complement the BMW X3 powertrain range from May 2025. It will make the new BMW X3 40d xDrive (combined, WLTP (EnVKV): fuel consumption 6.7 l/100 km; CO₂ emissions 177 g/km; CO₂ class G) the most powerful diesel variant of this premium executive Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV). Its highly efficient powertrain offers 48-volt mild-hybrid technology, a combined output of 223 kW/303 hp and 670 Nm of peak torque. The system’s electric motor is integrated into the eight‑speed Steptronic transmission. The new BMW X3 40d xDrive takes 5.4 seconds to get to 100 km/h from a standing start; its top speed is 245 km/h. It is produced at the BMW Group Plant Rosslyn in South Africa.

Higher charging rates for everyday driving without generating local emissions.
A faster AC charging rate, increased from 7.4 kW to 11 kW, will result in significantly reduced charging times for various BMW plug-in hybrid models from March 2025. This will benefit the plug-in hybrid variants of the BMW X1, BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, BMW 7 Series and all BMW XM models.

BMW Digital Key Plus as standard in the new BMW iX.

In the new BMW iX, the BMW Digital Key Plus will become the driver’s first choice for vehicle access from March 2025. The package also includes a physical key, a Setup Card and a Service Card. The new Setup Card makes installing the Digital Key Plus on a smartphone easier than ever. Users can simply hold the card close to their mobile device or scan the QR code on the back. Once activated, drivers can safely share the Digital Key Plus with others, using a simple text message. Depending on the mobile device, up to 18 digital keys can be activated soon. Different roles and permissions can be set for the vehicle when sharing the keys. For example, the vehicle’s acceleration and top speed can be limited – a particularly useful feature for novice drivers. Moreover, the BMW Digital Key Plus enables additional control functions from the vehicle’s vicinity, such as having the BMW iX enter or exit a parking space via the My BMW app. And if there ever is a need to hand over a physical key, for example for service visits or in the event of a breakdown, the new Service Card can be activated as a full-fledged key with a single click.

Other digital improvements and enhancements.
The popular YouTube* video app has been available for vehicles with BMW Operating System 9 since January 2025, provided the customer has activated BMW Digital Premium. Furthermore, the Personal eSIM in BMW Operating System 9 can now be activated for improved telephony and a WiFi hotspot in the vehicle. Vehicles with BMW Operating System 8.5 benefit from a more intuitive BMW Maps interface.

Tyre repair kit Plus: Remaining mobile the easy way.

The new tyre repair kit Plus, part of the standard equipment for selected BMW models from March 2025, enables customers to continue their journey even with a tyre puncture. This requires just a few simple steps that are explained in the vehicle’s Integrated Owner’s Handbook. The one-piece tyre repair kit includes a magnet and connector pin to secure it to the hub of the affected wheel. A hose then fills the tyre with air and aerosol sealant using an integrated compressor. Once a sufficient tyre pressure above 1.5 bar has been achieved, the journey can be continued, with the device safely attached to the wheel hub. Drivers can now

cover a range of up to 200 kilometres at a top speed of 80 km/h. This should easily get them to the nearest service centre. From spring 2025 the BMW X1, BMW X2, BMW iX and various models of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer will come with this equipment feature. The tyre repair kit Plus is also included with the models of the BMW 5 Series Sedan (except for models with standard 19-inch light alloy wheels Triplex-spoke style 933 Silver).

BMW X5, BMW X6, BMW X7 and BMW M5: Added equipment.
The comprehensive standard equipment on the BMW X5 and BMW X6 will from spring 2025 include adaptive matrix LED headlights. The BMW X7 will always come with the Parking Assistant Professional. Standard equipment for the M60i xDrive powertrain version of all three model series will also include the M Sport package Pro, the Harman Kardon surround sound system and sun protection glazing.

The BMW M5 will also benefit from more comprehensive equipment. Two new upholstery options are available to add special accents to the interior. In addition to BMW Individual Taupe Grey/Deep Lagoon Merino Leather, BMW Individual Black/Dark Violet Merino Leather is available as a new colourway. In all BMW M5 variants, as well as in all BMW 5 Series Sedan and BMW 5 Series Touring models, the trim and switches for the power windows, mirror adjustment and tailgate button are finished in high-gloss Black with a 3D effect as standard.

New light alloy wheels for BMW 2 Series Active Tourer and BMW X1.

17-inch light alloy wheels Star-spoke style 875 will be available for various BMW 2 Series Active Tourer and BMW X1 models from March 2025.

Munich. The new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé has made its first public appearance in a highly exclusive setting. BMW presented the new edition of its elegantly sporty four-door model at ApeFest 2024 in Lisbon just two days after the official start of communication. The car’s world premiere was one of the highlights of the event, which is staged annually by the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC). BAYC is one of the best-known non-fungible token (NFT) collections from American company Yuga Labs and comprises a total of 10,000 unique digital collector’s items featuring pictures of cartoon apes. ApeFest is primarily put on for the holders of these digital goods – a Web3 community boasting high levels of technological affinity, remarkable creative powers and strong innovative spirit, making its members a perfect match for the BMW brand. At ApeFest they come together to connect, shape the future of Web3 technology and enjoy access to exclusive digital content and experiences that allow them to come up with new business ideas too, among other things. BMW once again partnered the event this year.

“We are delighted that ApeFest has provided us with the ideal setting for presenting the progressive character of the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé to a tech-loving audience made up of digital enthusiasts and early adopters,” explained Stefan Ponikva, Vice President BMW Group Customer Formats and BMW Brand Experience. “The community’s response to the digital innovations is phenomenal. Not only did we manage to bring the Dookey Dash: Unclogged game – a community favourite – into the vehicle, we also managed to bring the vehicle into the game as an in-game car.”

New BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé starred in art contest for the BAYC community: one-off model unveiled at ApeFest 2024.

The ApeFest community had a unique opportunity to experience the second-generation BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé up close ahead of its official launch. Two specimens of the compact four-door model – both featuring an in-car gaming experience – were on show, together with a concept car in a unique design that was the product of an online art contest.

In the run-up to ApeFest, Yuga Labs launched an online art contest within the community with the assistance of BMW. Rida, an artist and 3D graphics expert from Dubai, came out on top in the contest against four other contenders.

With its clean lines, golden accents and rich textures, the exterior of the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé he designed in the ApeCar look emphasises the vehicle’s elegant sportiness and premium appeal, while a mosaic pattern made up of cartoon ape silhouettes delivers a message of community. BMW added bespoke BMW M Performance Parts to give the one-off model a sharper appearance for an even more dynamic and progressive feel.

Following the spectacular reveal at this year’s ApeFest, Bored Ape or Mutant Ape NFT holders had the opportunity to register their interest in buying the unique model. Once the future owner of the ApeCar has been chosen from all the prospective buyers, BMW will build the customised BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé in a configuration adapted to the buyer’s home market and will also equip it with a selection of exclusive digital features.

New title for action-packed in-car gaming – “Dookey Dash: Unclogged”.

BMW capitalised on the avant-garde mood at ApeFest to present a beta version of the new title “Dookey Dash: Unclogged” in collaboration with the game’s creator Yuga Labs. The updated version of this action-packed endless runner game can now also be played on iOS and Android mobile devices and will be rolled out in the coming months as part of the BMW Digital Premium package for all vehicles with BMW Operating System 9. A special gimmick has been included that allows players to select a 3D model of the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé as a speedy underwater car and then race though a fictional underworld with it. Players chasing the high score have to avoid obstacles, break through barriers and collect boosters and power-ups.

This innovative form of in-car gaming offered in current BMW models allows the occupants to pass the time by playing casual games on the control display while the vehicle is parked. Dookey Dash: Unclogged is available as part of the BMW Digital Premium package along with a dozen other video games and is imported over the air from the BMW ConnectedDrive Store. ApeFest attendees had the opportunity to test out the hit game ahead of its official release.

BMW Lifestyle with exclusive, customised ApeFest collection.

Customisation means a lot to the BAYC community, so BMW Lifestyle came up with a special design for selected products from the current collection. This cult BMW Mechanics Jacket, which serves as a club jacket, is a particularly noteworthy highlight. Members get an interactive patch for the jacket allowing selected interaction with BMW. This smart fashion piece also includes a built-in NFC chip that enables the members to connect with one another.

The exclusive articles were available to buy from the BMW Lifestyle pop-up store at the event. The products could also be personalised with a print gun to make them truly unique.

BMW M Driving Experience scores a hit with specially developed version of BMW M Mixed Reality (MMR).

ApeFest 2024 also provided the venue for the premiere of a new and innovative version of BMW M Mixed Reality – a one-of-a-kind driving experience in which the physical and virtual worlds merge into one for the driver. Thanks to the very latest VR and GPS technology, the vehicle itself becomes the controller and can be guided through a virtual world by the driver.

The existing MMR was further refined for ApeFest and augmented with 3D elements from a partner for the first time. BAYC-specific content, such as apes, unicorns and crocodiles, was added to the mixed-reality experience with the help of the software specialists from Yuga Labs.

The ApeFest attendees set off on a captivating phygital tour through the pulsating cityscape of Lisbon in BMW M models that had been specially designed for the event. The experience allowed them to enjoy pushing the BMW M2 (fuel consumption, combined in the WLTP cycle: 9.8 – 9.6 litres/100 km [28.8 – 29.4 mpg imp]; CO₂ emissions, combined in the WLTP cycle: 223 – 218 g/km; fuel consumption, combined according to Pkw-EnVKV: 10.2 – 9.8 litres/100 km [27.7 – 28.8 mpg imp]; CO₂ emissions, combined according to Pkw-EnVKV: 231 – 222 g/km; CO₂ class according to Pkw-EnVKV: G) and BMW M4 Competition Coupé (fuel consumption, combined in the WLTP cycle: 9.9 – 9.7 litres/100 km [28.5 – 29.1 mpg imp]; CO₂ emissions, combined in the WLTP cycle: 223 – 219 g/km; fuel consumption, combined according to Pkw-EnVKV: 9.9 – 9.8 litres/100 km [28.5 – 28.8 mpg imp]; CO₂ emissions, combined according to Pkw-EnVKV: 223 – 221 g/km; CO₂ class according to Pkw-EnVKV: G) models to their limits in the virtual world.

ApeFest attendees were also treated to the sight of a heavily modified BMW M2 Ice Racer. It was on display in the Convento Do Beato, the main exhibition area of ApeFest, where this ambassador of the BMW M Driving Experience’s ultra-exclusive winter programme attracted a great deal of attention. The highlight event at the BMW Group’s winter test centre in Arjeplog, Sweden combines drift training on ice with an individually tailored programme of accompanying activities and can be booked exclusively by members of the BAYC community.

The fuel consumption, CO₂ emissions, electric power consumption and operating range figures are determined according to the European Regulation (EC) 715/2007 in the version applicable. They refer to vehicles in the German market. Where a range is shown, the figures take into account the impact of any optional extras.

All values were calculated based on the new WLTP test cycle. WLTP values are taken as the basis for determining vehicle-related taxes or other duties based (at least inter alia) on CO₂ emissions as well as eligibility for any applicable vehicle-specific subsidies. Further information on the WLTP measurement procedure can also be found at www.bmw.de/wltp.

The progressive character of the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé is evident in the area of digitalisation, too. The user experience in the redesigned interior is defined by the new BMW iDrive with QuickSelect and a wide range of digital services and in-car gaming based on BMW Operating System 9.

The new BMW 2 Series Coupé will be produced at the BMW Group’s plant in Leipzig, with the market launch starting in March 2025.

Sporty elegance in the hallmark style of the BMW brand.

The exterior design of the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé is defined by an expressive front section, a dynamically elongated silhouette and a powerfully designed rear. This conveys even more clearly the sporty elegance that is so characteristic of a BMW Gran Coupé.

The wide BMW radiator grille positioned below the headlights featuring an innovative structure of vertical and diagonal bars inside and the large lower air inlet give the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé a low-slung, road-hugging appearance.

The standard LED headlights comprise vertical elements for the daytime running lights and turn indicators. Adaptive LED headlights with glare-free matrix high beam, cornering light function and blue accentuations are available as an option. The BMW Iconic Glow option including contour line lighting for the BMW radiator grille will be available from March 2025.

The side view is defined by the long bonnet, short overhangs and a gently flowing roofline. A pronounced indentation in the transition to the rear emphasises the athletically shaped shoulder section. At the rear of the elegantly elongated side window graphic, a discreetly embossed number 2 highlights the characteristic Hofmeister kink. The rear derives its powerful, modern appearance from an especially ample surface structure broken up by just a few lines, flat lights with a striking notch, and invisibly integrated exhaust tailpipes (exception: BMW M235 xDrive Gran Coupé). Further accentuations for refined dynamic performance are provided by the M Sport package and the M Sport package Pro.

The range of exterior finishes includes two solid and seven metallic finishes, along with four BMW Individual finishes and a choice of numerous BMW Individual special finishes. A contrasting high-gloss black finish is available for the roof.

The new edition of the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé has been increased in length by 20 millimetres to 4 546 millimetres, while the wheelbase measures 2 670 millimetres. The width of the vehicle is 1 800 millimetres, and the height has been increased by 25 millimetres to 1 445 millimetres.

Leather-free interior in a high-class premium ambience.

The newly designed interior of the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé is entirely leather-free as standard. The Veganza/Alcantara trim is available as an option, combined with hand-sewn contrasting seams for the instrument panel. The dynamically backlit interior trims made of milled aluminium likewise contribute to the car’s refined and athletic premium ambience. BMW Curved Display and the newly designed gear selector underline the progressive character of the interior.

Newly designed seats provide a high level of comfort on long journeys. Optional sports seats are offered in Econeer, while M sports seats are also available. There are seat heating and electrically operated adjustment options for all versions. The sports seats can also be optionally combined with a massage function, while a lumbar support is available for the M Sport seats. The standard sports steering wheel can be exchanged for an M leather steering wheel, which has also been redesigned. This is part of the M Sport package and features shift paddles for manual gear changes. An interaction airbag between the driver and front passenger now contributes to optimised occupant protection as standard. The rear seat backrest offers a 40: 20: 40 split as standard, while the storage volume is 430 litres (BMW 220 Gran Coupé, BMW 220d Gran Coupé: 360 litres).

Top model with racing DNA and outstanding performance.

The BMW M235 xDrive Gran Coupé (combined fuel consumption according to WLTP: 8.2 l/100 km (62 miles); combined CO₂ emissions according to WLTP: 185 g/km; CO₂ class: G) is at the top of the model range and features significantly enhanced performance characteristics. Powered by a 221 kW/300 hp 4-cylinder engine, the BMW M performance automobile accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.9 seconds. An M Technology package for racetrack-oriented performance, including additional lightweight construction measures, 19-inch forged M light-alloy wheels and an M compound brake system offering particularly high deceleration performance, is also offered exclusively for the new BMW M235 xDrive Gran Coupé.

M Sport Package with adaptive M suspension and sport steering.

A standard feature of the new BMW M235 xDrive Gran Coupé offered as part of the optional M Sport package for all other model variants, the adaptive M suspension enhances both agility and long-distance comfort by means of variable, mechanically controlled and frequency-selective shock absorbers. Pressure peaks within the shock absorbers are smoothed out by means of additional valves acting on the traction side.
