3.0-liter, TwinPower Turbocharged 6-cylinder engine, 300 hp
Generating 300 hp and 300 lb.-ft. of torque at 1400-1500 rpms, this advanced inline six is our first turbocharged engine offered in the U.S. in decades. Turbo lag has been virtually eliminated, thanks to Double-VANOS "steplessly" variable valve timing, direct fuel injection, and BMW’s inspired use of the latest TwinPower Turbo technology. By using direct fuel injection - a high precision fuel injection system - we have overcome the traditionally poor gas mileage of turbocharging. The engine's innovative design includes an all-aluminum engine block with cast iron sleeves for durability, and a direct fuel injection system that also cools the engine. A cooler engine allows for a higher compression ratio (10.2:1 vs. 6:1 and 7:1 in other turbos), which translates into superior emission control, greater fuel efficiency and, most importantly, a thrilling performance.





xDrive, intelligent all-wheel-drive system
Unlike other all-wheel-drive systems, we've built ours with rear wheel bias for surefooted grip on slick roads, without sacrificing the feel of rear wheel drive. It smartly sends power to the wheel or wheels with the surest footing - and it does so in milliseconds. That means under normal conditions, drive forces are spread out with a rear-wheel bias. But the moment the system senses excessive wheel slip, it subtly shifts torque to meet the changing conditions, offering maximum available traction and superior handling on all surfaces.



Near-Perfect 50/50 balance
What enthusiasts recognize as BMW's signature driving feel is the result of near-perfect weight distribution. Balancing the weight over the front and rear axels allows for exceptional agility, enhanced safety and greater predictability, which means more control. Building a vehicle with near 50/50 balance is a difficult proposition, but it's one that our engineers succeed at time and time again by finding innovative ways to save weight.




Active Steering
When BMW first introduced Active Steering to the market in 2003, our drivers weren't the only ones who were impressed. It received the Innovation Award of German Industry, too. The technology allows for a variable steering ratio based on your speed. At low speeds, steering is nimble (10:1) for easy navigation in tight spaces. At high speeds, greater movement of the steering wheel is required to turn the front wheels the same amount (18:1), for increased stability. Most car companies split the difference with a constant 14:1 ratio, but we're not ones to compromise - even with our steering ratio.





Direct Injection Technology
At the heart of our 300-horsepower, 3.0-liter, inline six turbocharged engine is our direct fuel injection system with advanced piezo injector technology.

Unlike traditional fuel injection, which calls for fuel to be injected before the intake valves, BMW's Direct Fuel Injection feeds fuel directly into each cylinder, increasing fuel economy, power, torque and emissions control.

It also rewards the driver with greater torque for quick response, low speed acceleration and power on demand in all driving conditions.




Run-Flat Tires
These self-supporting tires with integrated reinforcements allow tires that have experienced a loss of air pressure to maintain their shape and full use. In fact, you can drive on a flat for up to 150 miles at reduced speeds, so you don't have to stop in an unsafe area to change a tire or wait for roadside assistance.*

* Driving over rough or damaged road surfaces, as well as debris, curbs and other obstacles can cause serious damage to wheels, tires and suspension parts. This is more likely to occur with low-profile tires, which provide less cushioning between the wheel and the road. Be careful to avoid road hazards and reduce your speed, especially if your vehicle is equipped with low-profile tires.



Enhanced Braking System
We believe being able to stop quickly is even more important than being able to drive fast. Thats why our enhanced braking system does more than just brake. If its raining, it will dry off the rotors. If you're stopped on a hill, it'll keep you from rolling. If you quickly pull your foot off the accelerator, it prepares to brake just as quickly. And, if you're braking repeatedly, it knows you need more force.



Dynamic Stability Control
Nasty weather. Terrible road conditions. A deer crossing. When a driver loses control, there's usually more than one factor involved. Using built-in sensors to continually monitor multiple variables - such as speed, steering angle, yaw, brake pressure and traction - our Dynamic Stability Control system can detect and, more importantly, help correct the loss of wheel traction immediately. All of which helps to keep you in control, no matter what the circumstances.



BMW Assist™ with Bluetooth® Wireless Technology
Enjoy added safety, security and convenience with BMW Assist™ services.

With BMW Assist™, you have a direct connection to the BMW Assist Response Center, any time, day or night. If you're in an accident, need roadside assistance or have a customer service question, just push a button from within your vehicle to speak with a response specialist. If you're in a serious accident, crash sensors will trigger the system for you. And, if your car is stolen, you can access stolen vehicle recovery services by phone.

In addition, BMW Assist™ includes: TeleService, an exclusive BMW feature that allows your car to communicate its service needs directly to your preferred BMW Center. 





Harman Kardon Surround Sound
It's a sound experience as remarkable as the BMW driving experience. Unlike traditional stereo systems, the optional Harman Kardon surround sound audio System uses vehicle-specific equalizing, and a powerful 420W amplifier, to deliver powerful, high-current, ultrawide-bandwidth. The result: a scintillating audio performance that pumps the highest definition soundtrack to the open road. The 11-speaker system also includes four tweeters, four mid-range speakers, two bass speakers located under the front seats and one mid-range speaker in the top of the dashboard.


HD Radio™
Over 2,000 radio stations throughout the United States are currently broadcasting with advanced HD Radio technology. FM stations now have CD-quality sound and AM stations now have FM-quality sound. What's more, many stations multicast up to 3 different formats over the same frequency.

SIRIUS Satellite Radio
Always appreciative of unconventional thinking, we thought satellite radio was a natural fit with BMW. Add SIRIUS Satellite Radio with a one-year subscription as a standalone option. Enjoy over 130 channels of your favorite programming, 24/7, including 100% commercial-free, plus sports, news, talk and entertainment from the best names in the business.

* Requires a monthly subscription service to SIRIUS Satellite Radio. Check with your authorized BMW center for complete information and details.


i
iPod/iPhone USB Integrated System
When we wanted to connect an MP3 player directly to our vehicle's sound system, we went straight to the experts at Apple. Together, we created the world's first seamless integrated system of iPod and automobile. Just plug your iPod or iPhone into the adapter accessory. Control the volume and your playlists through the multifunction steering wheel, while your iPod or iPhone stays out of view with a constant flow of power. There's also a convenient, standard auxiliary input jack, which allows you to play any MP3 through the audio system.

Onboard Navigation System with RTTI
With the route taken care of, you can concentrate on more important things - like enjoying every twist and turn along the way. Our optional onboard navigation system, controlled via iDrive, uses GPS satellites, a digital map and, where available, Real Time Traffic Information (RTTI) to guide you to your destination. Choose the fastest route, the shortest route or the one that avoids traffic. Where available, traffic information is received by a separate radio tuner and then displayed on the navigation system. You don't have to listen to a specific radio station, or even have the radio on, to receive updates every few minutes. And you can see everything clearly on the large, high-resolution screen.







Four seater
Here's an idea: a performance coupe that comfortably seats four. A newly designed release and power-seat sliding feature allows your passengers easier access to the rear seats, where they'll have spacious head- and legroom. The new rear cabin also offers cup holders in the padded armrest, climate control and standard rear-head air bags. For added storage, there's a hidden compartment in the center console, and both seats fold forward to expand the trunk's storage capacity.



BMW Ultimate Service™
BMW Ultimate Service is included at no charge with all new BMWs for the first four years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. It includes the BMW Maintenance Program, which covers all factory-recommended maintenance and items that need replacement due to normal wear and tear; a New Vehicle Limited Warranty; four-year, unlimited-mileage Roadside Assistance, and, if the vehicle is equipped, a four-year, unlimited mileage subscription to the BMW Assist™ Safety Plan.







Bluetooth® Wireless Technology
Bluetooth wireless technology connects mobile phones enabled with Bluetooth to a vehicle for hands-free calling. With the use of a compatible Bluetooth enabled mobile phone, a driver can place and answer calls, and browse and select phonebook contacts from their phone, simply by using the multifunction steering wheel controls and radio keys.

Vehicles equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology are shipped fully activated, and only require the new owner to complete a simple one-time pairing procedure with a compatible Bluetooth phone. Up to four paired phones can be stored in the car's memory system. 





Ambient Lighting
For an added touch of refinement, as well as convenience, our designers have added a warm glow to the interior cabin. In the evening, you"ll notice a subtle light gently cascading down from the inside panel and alongside the front and rear seats.
