Style. Space. Surprising versatility. Introducing the  Series Gran Turismo. It is in the imagination of BMW engineers and designers where advanced new vehicle concepts first take shape. When they become reality, they then reshape the entire automotive industry. Enter the  Series Gran Turismo, created to address an audience seeking an entirely new kind of vehicle – one that embodies the elegance of a sedan, the performance of a coupe, and the versatility of a Sports Activity Vehicle.® Offering visionary driving technologies and unparalleled levels of luxury, even storage convenience is raised to all-new levels. It’s time to reimagine firstclass travel – and the  Series Gran Turismo is your vehicle of change. Exterior Totally different. Yet totally BMW. As the first vehicle of its kind, the  Series Gran Turismo has its share of expectations to fulfill. A classic coupe roofline and dynamic front end both reveal its sporty personality – an attitude enhanced by the aggressive stance and large wheels. Yet unlike a sports car, the  Series Gran Turismo displays an impressive, elongated silhouette more in keeping with the finest luxury sedans. Then there is the extensive interior space and dualaccess tailgate for improved storage capabilities and easier loading. As a result, the exterior borrows from all three categories – coupe, sedan, SAV® – yet still defies classification. All of which make the  Series Gran Turismo the type of vehicle BMW has always created: an industry leader.  |  Exterior The measure of any BMW is its ability to inspire joy – not only for drivers but for passengers, as well. In this respect, the  Series Gran Turismo excels. With an elongated platform that hearkens to BMW’s most luxurious, class-leading sedans, you’ll find no shortage of legroom throughout the cabin. Likewise, headroom is generous, the comfort amplified by the two-piece Panoramic moonroof that opens up to offer an invigorating dose of fresh air and sunlight while driving. And for maximum traveling flexibility, multiple rear-seat folding and sliding combinations give you new levels of convenience when it comes to both passengers and cargo.  |  Exterior An open invitation to escape mediocrity.  |  The exterior of the  Series Gran Turismo is an outstanding interpretation of BMW styling, from its muscular contours to the freely interpreted L-shaped rear taillight clusters. The phrase “gran turismo” denotes a high-performance vehicle with far more interior space than a pure-bred sports car. Adhering to this concept, the  Series Gran Turismo balances its impressive performance with an emphasis on passenger comfort – especially luxurious appointments, roominess and flexibility of space. When you enter the cabin, you encounter a world of choice leather upholstery, exquisite trims and the plentiful natural light of a Panoramic moonroof as well as large frameless rear windows – a BMW design first. Interior  |  . inches The raised seating position makes for easy entry and exit. It also noticeably improves visibility, giving you an enhanced feeling of driving confidence. A clear outward view is key to any BMW vehicle – and the  Series Gran Turismo offers one of the most stunning perspectives around. A “semi-command” seating position is a great way to start: slightly elevated, supported by power Multi-contour front seats, and surrounded by a wealth of elegant leather. All instrumentation is gently tilted towards you; touch the Start button, and the Black Panel technology on the dashboard awakens, illuminating driving data at just the right eye level. Also within easy view is BMW’s iDrive and Navigation system display. A host of entertainment, communication and navigation menus can all be easily seen on the ." iDrive monitor screen. You can also add Head-up Display to your view – a feature that projects your speed and other information discreetly onto the windshield. For details on the availability of standard and optional features, please refer to the Standard equipment | Optional equipment charts at the back of this brochure. Interior  |  Second row. First class. A world away from conventional rear-seat passenger space, the  Series Gran Turismo rear cabin brings unparalleled luxury to a place where it’s rarely seen. Split-folding rear seats fit three adults, or can be folded for a flexible combination of passengers and cargo. The backrests can recline as much as  degrees, and the already copious amount of legroom is further boosted by up to ." of fore-to-aft adjustment. The Rear-seat entertainment feature lets passengers enjoy separate movies or games on two high-resolution screens built into the front-seat backrests. When you opt for the Luxury Rear Seating Package with two individual rear Comfort seats, ventilation and heating, your passengers will find a level of seating support and adjustment on a par with the front seats. The center console extends from the front cabin through to the rear, offering rear passengers an armrest, storage space and cupholders; four-zone climate control allows specific, customizable levels of temperature settings. A removable partition separates the cargo area from the rear cabin, helping to keep out road noise; when opening the rear trunk lid, it helps protect rear passengers from outside wind, heat and cold. And when it’s time for increased cargo-carrying capacity, the rear seats can be folded down individually at the touch of a button, to create  cu. ft. of space. Individual comfort seats are available in the rear. Adjustable in a myriad of different ways, these seats provide an even more relaxing ride for rear passengers – the backrests can even be reclined as much as  degrees. For details on the availability of standard and optional features, please refer to the Standard equipment | Optional equipment charts at the back of this brochure. With rear seats all the way back, passengers enjoy the generous legroom typical of BMW’s long-wheelbase luxury sedans, along with a . cu. ft. cargo capacity. The seats can also be moved forward by .", increasing cargo compartment volume to almost  cu. ft. A separate partition wall behind the seats insulates passengers from the luggage compartment and any outside noise, cold or heat when the trunk lid is opened. When the partition wall is unlocked, its position readjusts to align with the position of the rear seats. Rear seats can be individually folded all the way down at the touch of a button. With both seats folded, cargo capacity grows to a generous  cu. ft. Tailor the configuration to suit your cargoand passenger-carrying needs. Individual Comfort seats can be electrically controlled; the partition wall, backrests and seats themselves can be separately adjusted. Flights of fancy are no longer restricted to the skies.

Exterior Good things come in groundbreaking packages. Judging by the  Series Gran Turismo’s stunning exterior, you’d expect nothing less than BMW’s most advanced engineering. One of our latest technologies to be found on board is Brake Energy Regeneration, available on BMWs in the U.S. for the very first time. To save energy and reduce fuel consumption, an electronically controlled clutch engages and disengages the alternator, allowing it to charge the battery only when the vehicle is decelerating or braking. Otherwise, it freewheels, drawing virtually no power from the engine. Other advances include a self-leveling rear suspension that automatically detects changes in ride height at the rear, and uses an electrically powered air compressor to rebalance the vehicle. And a new multi-link front suspension keeps the handling tight and sporty, letting you tackle each joyful mile with precision and grace.  |  Exterior  |  Versatility The  Series Gran Turismo provides closure to the space-versus-sportiness debate.  |  Versatility As a driver, your needs vary from day to day – especially when it comes to hauling varying amounts of passengers and cargo. You need to be ready to handle either. The  Series Gran Turismo was designed to accommodate both, with an innovative dual-access tailgate. In the trunk lid mode, access to a smaller trunk area is provided at the touch of a button, while a rear partition keeps rear-seat passengers separated from any items in the trunk. With maximum legroom and locked partition wall, the BMW  Series Gran Turismo has a storage capacity of . cu. ft. When the rear seats are moved forward and the partition wall is unlocked, the capacity increases to . cu. ft.  |  Versatility The striking contours of the new BMW  Series Gran Turismo are equalled only by its impressive capacity. Under its dynamic, elegant silhouette is a massive storage space with variably adjustable rear seats and backrests, a movable partition wall between the luggage compartment and rear seats, and numerous fastening and storage options. When it’s time to use the  Series Gran Turismo for its maximum hauling capacity, you’re just the press of a button away: the tailgate opens up to the rear cargo area, which provides additional room when the rear seats are folded down. You can vary which seats fold, along with the partition; numerous fastening options make it easier to stow virtually any object. The rear cargo area functions as both a trunk and a tailgate, addressing all your needs perfectly. Never compromise on comfort – even with three passengers on board. Both the rear backrests and the partition wall can be folded forward in a -- split. Fold down the rear backrests to achieve a maximum storage area of  cu. ft.  |  Passion creates its own energy. With Brake Energy Regeneration, so does the  Series Gran Turismo. Introduction Discover an automobile that’s driven by ideas and innovations. A new class of vehicle created from seemingly disparate objectives, BMW’s  Series Gran Turismo does what few other vehicles can do. From under the hood to beneath the tailgate, it delivers many of BMW’s most inspired technologies. Yet with all its exciting features, every part of this vehicle is a product of the BMW EfficientDynamics philosophy. The idea is simple: combine maximum output with maximum efficiency. It’s respect for the driver – and responsibility to the environment. BMW’s execution of this concept has led to major advancements throughout the automotive industry. It’s the pursuit of this idea that serves as the catalyst for every vehicle we make. It’s how we fuel our passion. And yours.  |  BMW EfficientDynamics This is how much has gone in. And this is what comes out. At BMW, we create dynamic vehicles that thrill you with quick acceleration, predictable handling and unshakable control. We are also busy finding ways to sustain this level of performance while incorporating innovative fuels and technologies to help preserve the environment. This is what we refer to as “EfficientDynamics.” This goal has led to the visionary CleanEnergy hydrogen-powered engine, which is currently used in the emission-free BMW Hydrogen  Sedan. BMW Advanced Diesel with BluePerformance, which offers diesel power with quick acceleration, increased fuel efficiency and reduced emissions, was introduced to the U.S. in select models in . In fact, every BMW on the road today comes standard with technology that boosts performance while simultaneously reducing fuel consumption and CO emissions. High Precision Injection Turbocharging is traditionally known for boosting power at the expense of fuel efficiency. BMW Advanced Turbo engines with piezo direct fuel injection, however, inject gasoline at high pressure and with extreme precision into each cylinder. And, thanks to BMW’s fast and flexible electronic control system, both the timing and quantity of the fuel injections can be precisely adjusted to driving conditions. As a result, BMW vehicles achieve greater power with excellent fuel efficiency. Advanced Turbo engines Benefiting from BMW’s Advanced Turbo technology, both 5 Series Gran Turismo engines deliver quick acceleration while virtually eliminating turbo lag. Fuel economy is strong, as well, thanks to precise piezo direct fuel injection. -speed automatic transmission The particularly smooth gear shifts of the new -speed automatic transmission produce greater engine efficiency at every engine speed. The result: a reduction in fuel consumption and more comfortable gear changes. Lightweight construction Our engineers use lightweight aluminum throughout our vehicles – in the front section, for example, or for the suspension. BMW’s inline six-cylinder and V-8 Advanced Turbo engines are all aluminum. Taken together, these weight savings lead to lower fuel consumption and better axle load distribution for more agility – especially in curves. BMW models have low CO emissions today. But that’s just for starters. We’re carrying on our research in the quest to bring you greater driving pleasure, with fewer emissions and decreased fuel consumption. Double-VANOS VANOS is BMW’s valve timing system that can “steplessly” vary the points in the combustion cycle when valves open and close. Double-VANOS refers to the fact that it operates on both the intake and exhaust camshafts. Electronically controlled in response to engine speed, load and temperature, VANOS reduces emissions, and enhances low- to medium-speed torque, as well as fuel efficiency. Aerodynamics The more smoothly that air flows over a vehicle, the more efficiently it can operate. All BMWs are designed for a low coefficient of aerodynamic drag, which translates into quicker acceleration, more stable handling, quieter operation and greater fuel efficiency. A BMW’s integrated front spoilers reduce the amount of air flowing underneath, minimizing front-end lift. This allows a BMW to hug the road at higher speeds for excellent stability. Brake Energy Regeneration To supply a battery with electrical energy, the generator (alternator) is usually driven using engine power, which requires fuel. With Brake Energy Regeneration, the generator produces electricity when the driver brakes or takes a foot off the accelerator. Kinetic energy that was previously unharnessed is transformed into electrical energy, then fed into the battery. In this way, electricity is generated without consuming fuel. BMW EfficientDynamics Less emissions. More driving pleasure.  |  Engines  |        Torque (lb-ft)                 Engine speed (rpm)       The Advanced Turbo V- engine in the i Gran Turismo develops breathtaking torque early on, and a power curve that grows all the way to  rpm. Along with smooth and quiet running in any rev range, it delivers total comfort and control. High performance is the product of higher standards. The V- Advanced Turbo engine in the i Gran Turismo makes full use of its  hp and  lb-ft of torque for astonishingly quick yet silky-smooth acceleration. BMW EfficientDynamics Less emissions. More driving pleasure. At BMW, just as there’s no such thing as striving for second place, there’s also no room for less-than-inspiring power. Take, for example, the powerplant under the hood of the i Gran Turismo. Designed for reliably smooth and quick acceleration, this Advanced Turbo V- serves up  hp of pure exhilaration, with a wide power band and truly inspiring top speed. The  lb-ft of maximum torque is available over an extremely broad range – from  to  rpm. With a standstill to  time of . seconds, it’s just the kind of track-inspired muscle that built BMW’s formidable reputation. No less impressive is the -hp inline six-cylinder Advanced Turbo engine in the i Gran Turismo. With  lb-ft of torque that kicks in at just  rpm, hit the throttle and in just . seconds you’re sailing past  mph. Yet, like the V- engine in the i Gran Turismo, it’s also one of the most fuel-efficient turbocharged powerplants available. For details on the availability of standard and optional features, please refer to the Standard equipment | Optional equipment charts at the back of this brochure. What makes these engines so revolutionary is BMW’s EfficientDynamics mandate. For all its daunting power, the i Gran Turismo’s V- is incredibly fuel efficient, owing to its unique turbocharger construction and placement. Another contributing factor: the High Precision direct injection regulates fuel usage so precisely, it actually lowers the vehicle’s emissions by up to  percent, meeting U.S. Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV) limits. Both engines are paired with a groundbreaking new -speed automatic transmission. Smooth-shifting and sporty, this transmission features taller cruising gears and a unique gear arrangement for an unusually high efficiency of  percent in all eight gears. A faster shift time also improves fuel efficiency – that’s BMW’s EfficientDynamics in action.  BMW AG test results. BMW urges you to obey all posted speed laws and always wear safety belts. Output (horsepower) Torque (lb-ft) Output (horsepower) Suspension | Driving technology Integral Active Steering. With Integral Active Steering, at speeds up to  mph, a small turn of the steering wheel yields a greater turn of the front wheels for more direct response. It also steers the rear wheels up to three degrees in the opposite direction, giving the effect of a shortened wheelbase for enhanced maneuverability. When changing lanes at speeds over  mph, both front and rear wheels turn in the same direction, giving the feel of an extended wheelbase. While you experience greater responsiveness and directional stability, your passengers enjoy greater ride comfort from reduced body roll. Designed to deliver one overriding sensation: driving pleasure. When BMW engineers develop the suspension and steering systems of any new vehicle, they pursue two seemingly contradictory goals: the driver must be able to feel a direct contact with the road, while passengers are buffered from rough road surfaces. It’s this delicate balance that produces the unparalleled BMW driving feel, and why we use proven design concepts, such as rear-wheel drive and near-perfect / weight distribution. All-new suspension technology in the  Series Gran Turismo adds to both its exceptional level of ride comfort and its uniquely agile handling for a luxury vehicle. In front, multi-link, double-pivot spring-strut technology reduces damaging longitudinal and lateral forces, while simultaneously increasing contact with the road. The integral, multi-link self-leveling rear suspension uses air pressure to maintain a comfortable ride whenever sensors recognize changes in vehicle load or ride height, or if one of the rear tires suffers a loss of pressure. Adaptive Drive. Adaptive Drive combines performance-elevating Active Roll Stabilization (ARS) and ride-enhancing Dynamic Damping Control (DDC). The vehicle’s body tends to roll in corners, affecting handling. ARS twists special two-piece anti-roll bars to generate stronger resistance to body roll, keeping the vehicle more level and providing maximum stability and agility. DDC, on the other hand, instantly adjusts shock absorbers from the softest to the firmest settings. The result is exceptional ride comfort and fluid handling at all times – during changes in vehicle speed, load or road and driving conditions. Driving Dynamics Control. Give the  Series Gran Turismo a handling and performance attitude adjustment at the push of a button on the console. Choose from three settings, NORMAL, SPORT and SPORT+, to adjust shockabsorber firmness, engine-throttle response, transmission shift characteristics and powersteering assist. In addition, the traction control feature can be disengaged when driving on sand, gravel, or deep or packed snow. When equipped with Adaptive Drive, the damper settings can also be individually selected, for total comfort on longer journeys. |  Up to  mph  mph and above Safety  |  A BMW helps you extend your senses – and your defenses. At BMW, there are two types of safety engineering. There are active safety features, like a BMW’s quick acceleration, agile handling and massive fade-resistant brakes, which help you avoid accidents. Driving aids, such as Night Vision with Pedestrian Detection, and Active Blind Spot Detection, also help alert you to potential dangers that you might not otherwise see. BMWs also offer passive safety features, like safety belts, airbags and Active Head Restraints, which help protect you in case an accident cannot be avoided. And it’s reassuring to know that, should an impact occur, your BMW can even summon assistance and provide easy access to emergency aid workers. At BMW, safety engineering also comes under the category of “high performance.” Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go. BMW Night Vision with Pedestrian Detection. Confidence is an integral ingredient in driving enjoyment. That’s why BMW offers an impressive array of driving aids designed to help reduce the strain of driving – helping to keep you informed without distracting you from the job at hand. Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go uses radar measurements to automatically maintain a preset speed and distance between your vehicle and the one ahead – even in heavy rush-hour traffic. Lane Departure Warning uses a camera near the rear-view mirror to monitor road lane markings. If you begin to change lanes without first using the turn signal – a possible indicator of drowsiness – the steering wheel discreetly vibrates as a reminder. Active Blind Spot Detection uses radar sensors at the rear to monitor traffic in adjacent lanes, covering an area from your blind spot rearward for nearly  feet. If you activate the turn signal when there is another vehicle in that lane, the LED blinks and the steering wheel vibrates as a warning not to change lanes. Head-up Display is designed to give you important driving information at a glance. Projected clearly onto the windshield in your line of sight are important travel data, such as speed, Check Control warnings, directional arrows from the Navigation system and cruise control information. BMW Night Vision with Pedestrian Recognition provides an increased margin of safety at night. An infrared camera in the front bumper scans up to  feet ahead, detecting people as well as the direction of their movement up to  feet away. This is displayed on the iDrive screen – and, if so equipped, on the Head-up Display. Active Head Restraints. Head-up Display. In case of an accident, the  Series Gran Turismo is equipped with a comprehensive passive safety system. First and foremost is the passenger cell: a highly rigid hybrid construction of high-strength steel and aluminum. In a high-speed collision, it is designed to direct crash forces around the passenger cabin, while deforming in a predetermined pattern. In a fraction of a second, a sophisticated network of sensors throughout the vehicle determines the type of accident, and is designed to trigger the appropriate safety feature(s). These may include safety belt pretensioners, front-seat Active Head Restraints, dual-stage front airbags, seatmounted side-impact airbags, and curtain-type, front-to-rear Head Protection System. BMW’s attention to passenger safety doesn’t end after an accident has occurred. Hazard lights are automatically activated, interior lights turned on, and doors unlocked to facilitate rescue operations. The fuel pump and battery are disconnected. In addition, the BMW Assist™ system will automatically transmit your vehicle’s location and crash information, such as airbag deployment, seat occupation or the side of impact, to a response specialist, who will then speak to you to determine if you are alright. Even if you cannot respond to their call, a second response specialist will request dispatch of appropriate emergency services to your location.  Cruise Control is not a substitute for the driver’s own responsibility in adjusting speed and otherwise controlling the vehicle. After evaluating the road, traffic and visibility conditions, the driver must decide whether and how the system is used. Requires clearly definable lane markings that are not obscured by rain, snow, etc. Lane Departure Warning feature is not a substitute for the driver’s own responsibility in maintaining control of the vehicle.  Under optimal road conditions. Night Vision performance is also limited by rain, fog, humidity and other weather conditions.  For details on the availability of standard and optional features, please refer to the Standard equipment | Optional equipment charts at the back of this brochure.

BMW is a strong proponent of the environment and social responsibility. It is important to manage the earth’s resources responsibly, and not jeopardize the needs of future generations. That is why BMW makes vehicles that minimize adverse environmental impact, from production (pollution prevention and waste minimization at the plant) through owner use (low emissions) to eventual disposal (easy drainability of all fluid-related components and easy neutralization of all pyrotechnic devices). This effort has been recognized worldwide and, as a result, we are pleased to have received numerous environmental honors. In the U.S., for example, the Environmental Protection Agency accepted BMW’s Spartanburg, SC production and manufacturing facility as a charter member of the agency’s National Environmental Performance Track. Internationally, BMW AG – the parent company of both BMW of North America and BMW Manufacturing Co., Spartanburg, SC – was the first automotive company to be represented on the Dow Jones Sustainability Group Index, and has remained on the Index ever since.
