It is in the imagination of BMW engineers and designers where advanced new vehicle concepts 񃀓 rst take shape. When they become reality, they then reshape the entire automotive industry. Enter the fi 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 񃀓 rstclass travel – and the fi Series Gran Turismo is your vehicle of change. Exterior TOTALLY DIFFERENT. YET TOTALLY BMW. As the fi rst vehicle of its kind, the  Series Gran Turismo has its share of expectations to fulfi ll. A classic coupe roofl ine 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 fi nest luxury sedans. Then there is the extensive interior space and dual-access tailgate for improved storage capabilities and easier loading. As a result, the exterior borrows from all three categories – coupe, sedan, SAV® – yet still defi es classifi cation. 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 fi nd no shortage of legroom throughout the cabin. Likewise, headroom is generous, the comfort amplifi ed 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 fl exibility, 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-shape 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 fl exibility 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 fi rst.

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. 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 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.

An innovative 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 Effi cientDynamics philosophy. The idea is simple: combine maximum output with maximum effi ciency. 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 EFFICIENT DYNAMICS: VEHICLES THAT REQUIRE LITTLE AND GIVE A LOT. THE BMW 񂌕 SERIES GRAN TURISMO’S EFFICIENT DYNAMICS INITIATIVE AT A GLANCE. BMW was one of the fi rst automotive manufacturers to pursue effi cient driving technologies – one part of our award-winning sustainability strategy. Our commitment to Effi cientDynamics means we are continuously developing innovative systems that bring us closer to our long-term goal of emissions-free mobility. However, we remain equally committed to driving pleasure, which is being pursued in different ways. First, there is the continuing optimization of conventional diesel- and gasoline-powered models. Second, BMW hybrid vehicles are already on the road. Third, the fi rst    % electrically powered BMW – the BMW ActiveE – is being distributed in a fi eld trial to customers. And fourth, the fl eet of BMW Hydrogen  vehicles impressively demonstrated the potential for combining hydrogen drive with a combustion engine. Since     BMW has been able to reduce the CO emissions of its entire fl eet by approximately   percent. BMW has rolled out more than two million vehicles equipped with Effi cientDynamics:   models already produce less than    g of CO per mile, and BMW intends to achieve a further   percent reduction by     . BMW Effi cientDynamics represents the most comprehensive package of innovative technologies currently in production, for reducing fuel consumption and emissions while simultaneously creating The Ultimate Driving Machine.® Different paths to the same destination: unmistakable BMW driving pleasure. In early     BMW launched its fi rst production models with hybrid drive: the BMW ActiveHybrid  and the BMW ActiveHybrid X . Both models offer an unparalleled combination of increased fuel effi ciency, reduced emissions and thrilling performance. The BMW ActiveE, with its innovative    % electric drive system, will introduce a whole new form of dynamic performance, paving the way for the future of emissions-free mobility. Finally, a completely new vehicle concept targeted at meeting the need for sustainable mobility in fast-growing metropolitan areas will soon become reality: the BMW i . BMW Vision Effi cientDynamics: Vision becomes reality. In     BMW plans to  debut the BMW Vision Effi cientDynamics test model – a  + sports car featuring groundbreaking plug-in hybrid technology that combines sports-car performance with compactclass consumption. Powered by the latest-generation, full-hybrid system, the vehicle – in concept form – generates a total of    hp through a    -hp, three-cylinder turbo diesel engine with    lb-ft of torque, as well as a hybrid synchronous engine on the front axle and fully hybrid drive system on the rear axle. With a range of up to    miles, its ratio of performance to fuel consumption is without equal, positioning BMW as the world’s leading manufacturer of exceptionally effi cient, sporty vehicles. bmwusa.com/Effi cientDynamics High Precision Injection Turbocharging is traditionally known for boosting power at the expense of fuel ef񃀓 ciency. BMW TwinPower 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 񃀔 exible 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 excellent fuel ef񃀓 ciency. Aerodynamics The more smoothly that air 񃀔 ows over a vehicle, the more ef񃀓 ciently it can operate. All BMWs are designed for a low coef񃀓 cient of aerodynamic drag, which translates into quicker acceleration, more stable handling, quieter operation and greater fuel ef񃀓 ciency. A BMW’s integrated front spoilers reduce the amount of air 񃀔 owing underneath, minimizing front-end lift. This allows a BMW to hug the road at higher speeds for excellent stability. TwinPower Turbo engines Bene񃀓 ting from BMW’s TwinPower Turbo technology, both 񂢔 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. Brake Energy Regeneration To supply a battery with electrical energy, the generator (alternator) usually needs engine power, which requires fuel. With Brake Energy Regeneration, the generator produces electricity when the driver brakes or takes a foot off the accelerator. Previously unharnessed, kinetic energy is transformed into electrical energy then fed into the battery, generating electricity without using fuel. 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 ef񃀓 ciency. 񂌘 -speed STEPTRONIC automatic transmission The particularly smooth gear shifts of the new 񂢗 -speed automatic transmission produce greater engine ef񃀓 ciency at every engine speed. The smoother shifts result in reduced fuel consumption. Lightweight construction Our engineers use lightweight aluminum throughout our vehicles – in the doors, for example, or for the suspension. BMW’s inline six-cylinder and V-񂢗 TwinPower 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 EfficientDynamics Less emissions. More driving pleasure.

Both the BMW TwinPower Turbo inline six-cylinder and V- engine (shown) are harnessed to an  -speed STEPTRONIC automatic transmission, for astonishingly smooth and rapid 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 and    i xDrive Gran Turismo. Designed for reliably smooth and quick acceleration, this TwinPower Turbo V- serves up    hp of pure exhilaration, with a wide powerband 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 TwinPower Turbo engine in the    i and    i xDrive Gran Turismo.

The result: a noticeable increase in the vehicle’s already impressive traction and road-holding capabilities, even in inclement weather or on challenging road surfaces. BMW’s xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive constantly evaluates the vehicle’s electronic data, such as wheel rotation speed, steering angle, yaw rate and engine torque, to determine whether the vehicle is accurately reproducing the directions provided by the steering wheel, or whether it is tending to oversteer or understeer. Based on this data, xDrive seamlessly divides drive power between the front and rear axles. When cornering, if the front wheels slide towards the outside of the bend – that is, if the vehicle threatens to understeer – the electronically controlled multiplate clutch transfers drive power from the front to the rear wheels in the blink of an eye, thus preventing understeering before it even happens. You can enjoy the dynamic performance of the BMW  Series Gran Turismo to the fullest, in any situation. 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  fi / fi weight distribution. The advanced 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  rmest settings. The result is exceptional ride comfort and fl uid handling at all times – during changes in vehicle speed, load or road and driving conditions. Driving Dynamics Control. Gives the  Series Gran Turismo a handling and performance attitude adjustment at the push of a button on the console. Choose from four settings, COMFORT, NORMAL, SPORT and SPORT+, to adjust 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.

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. Confi dence is an integral ingredient in driving enjoyment. That’s why BMW offers an impressive array of driving aids designed 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 traffi c; the Forward Collision Warning feature sounds an alert if you are approaching the vehicle ahead too quickly. Lane Departure Warning uses a camera near the rear-view mirror to monitor road lane markings. If you begin to change lanes without fi rst 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 traffi c 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 project important driving information – speed, Check Control warnings, directional arrows from the Navigation system, and cruise control information – onto the windshield in your line of sight. BMW Night Vision with Pedestrian Detection 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.    Cruise Control is not a substitute for the driver’s own responsibility in adjusting speed and otherwise controlling the vehicle. After evaluating the road, traffi c and visibility conditions, the driver must decide whether and how the system is used. Requires clearly defi nable 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. 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 safetybelt 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 all right. Even if you cannot respond to their call, a second response specialist will request dispatch of appropriate emergency services to your location.

Tackling mountain switchbacks, the last thing you should be thinking about is the state of your brake pads.

Condition-Based Service (CBS) measures the condition of key parts that are subject to wear and tear.

Using this data, the Info Display in the cockpit automatically alerts you in advance whenever any part of your vehicle will require servicing. You can also use the iDrive Control Display to fi nd out which components will need to be serviced, and when. When combined with TeleService – the innovative telematics service included with the BMW Assist™ Safety Plan – the CBS-collected data is automatically transmitted to your authorized BMW center, which then contacts you to set up a service appointment. And because they use only Original BMW Parts, you can rely on expert fi t and long-lasting BMW quality. GOING BEYOND ENGINEERING: THE HIGH-PERFORMANCE BMW OWNERSHIP EXPERIENCE.
