•Significantly improved balance
between performance and fuel consumption: acceleration 0–100
km/h (62 mph) in 4.4 seconds, 0–200 km/h (124 mph) in 13.0
seconds, top speed: 250 km/h / 155 mph (305 km/h / 190 mph with
M Driver’s Package); average fuel consumption in EU test cycle:
9.9 litres/100 km (28.5 mpg imp); engine output 10 per cent up
on predecessor model, maximum torque increased by 30 per cent,
fuel consumption cut by more than 30 per cent; extensive
Efficient Dynamics technology, including Auto Start-Stop
function and Brake Energy Regeneration.
•Power transfer to the rear wheels
via the seven-speed M Double Clutch Transmission Drivelogic;
traction-optimised automatic gear selection; Launch Control; Low
Speed Assistance; automatically activated parking mode;
M-specific gear selector; M leather steering wheel with shift
paddles.
•Hallmark M conceptual harmony
produces superior performance characteristics with precise
interplay of drive and chassis technology, aerodynamics and
weight balance; power-to-weight ratio: 3.3 kg (approx. 7 lb)/hp;
M-specific suspension (front and rear axle kinematics), M
Servotronic steering, Dynamic Damper Control, DSC stability
control system including M Dynamic Mode; bodyshell mounting
using special panels; lightweight compound high-performance
braking system.
•Outstandingly agile handling
thanks to innovative rear axle differential with Active M
Differential; electronically controlled multi-plate limited-slip
differential enables fully variable distribution of drive
between the rear wheels to optimise traction and stability in
dynamic lane change manoeuvres and acceleration out of corners;
degree of lock can be varied between 0 and 100 per cent
according to the situation; fast, precise and pre-emptive
responses thanks to constant data cross-checking between the
Active M Differential and DSC stability control system, and
monitoring of the accelerator pedal position, wheel speed and
yaw rate.
•Two individually configured
set-ups for the car can be called up using the new M Drive
buttons on the steering wheel; range of programmable parameters
unique in the segment: accelerator responses, M Servotronic
responses, Drivelogic shift program, DSC mode, Dynamic Damper
Control and information in the Head-Up Display.
•Characteristic body design with
familiar M aesthetics reflecting the car’s extremely dynamic yet
precisely controllable nature; specific design features
contributing to performance characteristics; front apron with
extremely large air intakes for the engine and brakes;
athletically flared wheel arches to emphasise wide track;
hallmark M “gills” with integrated indicator bars;
aerodynamically optimised rear apron with diffuser between the
right and left-hand pair of twin exhaust tailpipes; gurney-style
rear spoiler on the boot lid; 19-inch M light-alloy wheels in
exclusive double-spoke design.
•Unique combination of sports car
cockpit and luxurious ambience for the interior; M-specific
instrument cluster in black-panel technology; newly designed,
leather-covered centre console; M sports seats; standard
specification also includes: Merino leather upholstery with
extended features, exclusive Aluminium Trace interior trim
strips, BMW Individual roof liner in Anthracite, electrically
operated steering column adjustment, four-zone automatic climate
control and ambient light.
• Extensive range of driver
assistance systems and mobility services from BMW ConnectedDrive
unmatched by competitors in this segment and beyond: M-specific
Head-Up Display (standard), Adaptive Headlights for standard
xenon light, High-Beam Assistant, BMW Night Vision with
pedestrian recognition, Lane Change Warning System, Lane
Departure Warning System, Surround View, Speed Limit Info,
internet usage, extended integration of smartphones and music
players, real-time traffic information and apps for receiving
Web Radio and using Facebook and Twitter.
•Almost all BMW 5 Series Saloon
equipment options available, including Comfort Access, M
multifunction seats, active seats, doors with Soft Close
Automatic function, hands-free tailgate opening, electric glass
roof, trailer coupling.
