New design accentuations for a sporty, elegant appearance. With striking design accentuations to the front section, the side perspective and the rear, the dynamic character of the new BMW 3 Series Saloon has been given additional emphasis, while the new BMW 3 Series Touring enhances its sporty, elegant profile with new visual features which are recognisable from all perspectives. Front section with bold shapes and an emphasis of width. The front view of the Saloon and Touring models of the new BMW 3 Series is characterised by a clear emphasis of vehicle width. The characteristic brand look of the double circular headlights is underscored by means of chrome tubes, and their corona rings can now also be used in the BMW 3 Series Saloon and the Touring model with optional bi-xenon headlamps as daytime running lights. The light sources of the direction indicators have a ribbed structure and LED direction indicator lights are installed in conjunction with the optional bi-xenon headlamps. Side view with elegantly elongated lines. Powerfully taut surfaces and striking character lines dominate the side view of the new BMW 3 Series. The contour edges of the side skirts have been set higher and modelled in a more distinctive fashion. Another new feature is the exterior mirrors with two distinctive character lines, echoing the interplay between the convex and concave shaping of the surfaces. The mirrors also offer an enlarged field of vision. The rear: sporty and tight with a new lighting design. Greater emphasis of the vehicles power and sporty character likewise characterises the rear view of the new BMW 3 Series. To achieve this effect, the rear bumpers, rear lights and luggage compartment handle have been completely redesigned. The dual section rear lights are now structured according to the characteristic BMW L shape. The two LED rear light clusters and the direction indicators in LED technology are designed to create a striking, high-quality appearance. The widened track of the new BMW 3 Series especially contributes to its powerful appearance. Depending on the model, the track of the rear axle has been widened by up to 24 millimetres by means of a new wheel carrier and other modified details.

High-quality materials and optimised ergonomics in the interior. The modern, high-quality interior of the BMW 3 Series has been further enhanced by means of specific modifications in the selection of materials and surface design. Here the modern design concept is also applied, with its convex-concave surfaces, sporty elegance and technology-oriented aesthetic style. Premiere for the new generation of the operating concept BMW iDrive. The operating system BMW iDrive is optionally available in the new BMW 3 Series for the activation and control of entertainment, information, navigation and telecommunications functions, whether standard or optional. The new generation of iDrive is available in conjunction with the optional navigation system Professional. What is more, the new iDrive supports multi-mode operation by voice entry. With the new iDrive generation, BMW extends its lead over comparable systems made by other manufacturers in terms of display quality and intuitive operation. Using the four direct selection buttons grouped around the Controller, it is especially easy to switch spontaneously between CD, radio, telephone and navigation functions. The functional bookmarks are supplemented with three control buttons. Control Display with high-resolution graphics and variable layout. The new iDrive in the BMW 3 Series is presented with a 8.8 inch Control Display whose dimensions surpass all graphic displays available to date in the automobile field. With its high image resolution it offers significant improvement in the display of detailed graphics. The structure of the user menu also makes it easier to locate desired functions. All functions controllable by iDrive are listed in the starter menu. Hard drive for audio files and navigation system. The features of the navigation system Professional include a hard drive integrated in the vehicle. The storage medium with a capacity of 80 GB provides outstandingly fast access to digital maps for navigation purposes and can also be used for an extensive collection of music files. The system enables music files to be transferred to the hard drive from a CD, MP3 player or USB stick. World premiere for unlimited internet use inside the vehicle. BMW ConnectedDrive makes BMW the first automobile manufacturer in the world to enable unlimited use of the internet inside the vehicle when stationary. Internet access is available for the new BMW 3 Series as a special equipment option at attractive flat-rate conditions. The transfer of data is based on EDGE technology (Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution), which unlike UMTS offers full geographical coverage and is three to four times faster than

the vehicle power supply is focused on coasting and braking phases. In this way, the generator is relieved during acceleration phases so as to provide more drive power. Auto Start/Stop Function and Shift Point Display. In the manual transmission version of the BMW 3 Series with 4-cylinder engine, Auto Start/Stop Function enhances efficiency in urban traffic particularly. When the driver puts the gear lever into neutral and removes his foot from the clutch, the engine management system automatically shuts down the engine. When stopping at a set of traffic lights, for example, fuel consumption drops to zero. To restart the engine, it is sufficient to activate the clutch pedal the engine is instantly reactivated without any further intervention on the part of the driver. During travel, too, the engine management system provides support in using fuel as efficiently as possibly. By means of Shift Point Display, an arrow symbol which lights up in the instrument panel and indicates the optimum gear, the driver is shown the ideal moment to change gear from the point of view of fuel economy. Reducing fuel consumption by controlling the auxiliary units. Additional model-specific measures to save fuel are put into effect without the drivers influence. These include active control of the air intake flaps in the radiator grille. When the engine has lower cooling requirements, the flaps are closed: this results in a measurable improvement in aerodynamics and therefore a further reduction in fuel consumption. What is more, numerous auxiliary units are operated on a needs only basis so as to save energy. For example, the electro-mechanical power steering system EPS with integrated Servotronic function is only supplied with energy when steering power support is actually required or desired. The electrical coolant pump is likewise only powered when it is actually needed, depending on engine speed and temperature. With a power consumption of 200 watts it only uses about a tenth of the energy required by conventional pumps. Efficiency is further enhanced by means of the air conditioning belt drive which is fitted with a coupling device. When the air conditioning is switched off, the compressor is automatically decoupled. In this way the drag torque of the compressor is reduced to a minimum, thereby further increasing the efficiency of the engine. What is more, all versions of the new BMW 3 Series are fitted as standard with Runflat tyres which have reduced rolling resistance.

Including the models BMW 320d Coup and BMW 320d Convertible, six models of the BMW 3 Series have a maximum CO2 output level of 140 g/km. Their unique character derives from the fact that this exemplary fuel economy and reduction of exhaust emissions is combined with superior driving dynamics.

BMW Media Information 7/2008 Page 26
The engine: A wide range of engines with top figures for performance and efficiency.
Five petrol engines and five diesel engines to choose from. Superior dynamic performance and the highest level of efficiency in the segment. 6-speed automatic transmission now also available for the BMW 318d.
With five petrol engines and five diesel engines, the new BMW 3 Series Saloon and the new BMW 3 Series Touring offer the most extensive range of engines in the segment. Both with the petrol and diesel versions, customers can choose between two 4-cylinder and three 6-cylinder engines. The output spectrum ranges from 105 kW/143 bhp in the 4-cylinder-models BMW 318i and BMW 318d to 225 kW/306 bhp in the in-line 6-cylindere engine of the BMW 335i. All engines are available for both the BMW 3 Series Saloon and the Touring model and are combined with the latest BMW EfficientDynamics measures in a model-specific configuration in each case. All petrol engines with High Precision Injection. The range of petrol engines for the new BMW 3 Series includes three in-line 6-cylinder power units with a capacity of 3.0 litres and two 2-litre 4-cylinder engines. The most important feature these five engines have in common is petrol direct injection of the second generation. In contrast to direct injection of the first generation, High Precision Injection provides clearly measurable fuel consumption benefits in everyday driving, too. This is achieved by means of new injectors which are located between the valves and inject the fuel immediately adjacent to the spark plug. This positioning which was realised by BMW engine developers in spite of limited space is the requirement for the new jet-guided combustion process. This results in an especially precise injection process without the fuel loss associated with wall sprinkling which is typical of conventional processes. The piezo injectors carry the fuel at a pressure of up to 200 bar into the cylinders, guaranteeing an especially fine carburetion process. The injection quantities are precisely adapted to power requirements, including optimised pre-injection and post-injection. With this innovation, the engineers have not only successfully increased the efficiency of the engine, they have also improved its response.

BMW Media Information 7/2008 Page 31
The engine of the new BMW 325d provides its maximum torque of 400 Nm early on at an engine speed of just 1,300 rpm and maintains this over a broad range, up to 3,250 rpm. Thanks to this excellent pulling power, sporty performance figures are guaranteed even in the entry-level version of the 6-cylinder. The Saloon accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 7.4 seconds, the Touring in 7.6 seconds. The maximum speeds of the new BMW 325d models are 235 km/h and 233 km/h respectively. Its average fuel consumption according to the EU norm of 5.7 litres (Touring: 5.9 litres) per 100 kilometres shows the efficiency of this engine. Light, compact, high-torque and efficient: 4-cylinder diesel in the BMW 3 Series. The power units of the BMW 320d and the BMW 318d are lighter, more efficient and more powerful than comparable 4-cylinder diesel engines in the competitive environment. In addition to the capacity of 2.0 litres, the aluminium crankcase, turbocharging with variable turbine geometry and common rail direct injection of the third generation are among the features shared by the two 4-cylinder diesel engines. One difference between the two lies in the fuel supply. In the BMW 318d, magnet valves with a maximum injection pressure of 1,600 bar perform this function, while in the more powerful engine of the BMW 320d the diesel fuel is fed in by four piezo injectors at a pressure of up to 1,800 bar. With an output of 130 kW/177 bhp at an engine speed of 4,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 350 Nm between 1,750 and 3,000 rpm the engine of the new BMW 320d is not only among the most efficient but also the sportiest representatives of the class of 4-cylinder diesel engines. The Saloon accelerates in just 7.9 seconds, the Touring in 8.1 seconds from standing to 100 km/h, the top speeds are 230 and 228 km/h respectively. Especially in combination with these performance figures, the average fuel consumption according to the EU test cycle of just 4.8 litres per 100 kilometres (BMW 320d Touring: 4.9 litres) is an outstanding figure. The CO2 emission level of the BMW 320d amounts to 128 grams per kilometre (Touring: 130 g/km). Maximum efficiency in the segment of the BMW 3 Series is embodied by the new BMW 318d. Its 4-cylinder diesel engine delivers 105 kW/143 bhp at an engine speed of 4,000 rpm and generates a maximum torque of 300 Nm between 1,750 and 2,500 rpm. This allows the new BMW 318d to pass the 100 km/h mark after just 9.3 seconds (Touring: 9.6 seconds). The maximum speed of both the Saloon and the Touring model is 210 km/h. The BMW 318d is the most economical representative of its class with an average fuel
BMW Media Information 7/2008 Page 32
consumption according to the EU test cycle of 4.7 litres per 100 kilometres (Touring: 4.8 litres). Another outstanding figure is its CO2 emission level of just 123 grams per kilometre (Touring: 125 g/km). The most efficient vehicle in the segment now also with 6-speed-automatic transmission. All versions of the new BMW 3 Series are fitted as standard with 6-speed manual transmission. In the BMW 335d, the drive power is transferred to the rear wheels by means of a 6-speed automatic transmission as standard. A 6-speed automatic transmission is optionally available for all other versions of the BMW 3 Series. For the first time it is also available for the new BMW 318d. The 6-speed-automatic transmission not only enhances driving comfort, it also fulfils the desire for a dynamic conversion of engine power into driving pleasure. Its sporty characteristics are especially due to a direct link with the engine. This results from modern torque converter technology with an integrated torsion damper which avoids unnecessary slip and therefore power loss. The converter clutch is closed immediately after the vehicle sets off. In this way, the impression created is the same as that of power transmission in a manual transmission vehicle. With short response and shift times, every movement of the accelerator pedal is spontaneously implemented. Even shifting down by more than one level does not require any additional time, due to direct determination of the appropriate gearshift lane. With its precise control and the low level of converter slip, the 6-speed automatic transmission also enhances the fuel economy of all models of the new BMW 3 Series.

BMW Media Information 7/2008 Page 35
Maps and symbols can also be display three-dimensionally. The use of the navigation system Professional is also simpler and more attractive now thanks to the optimised technical functions of BMW iDrive. The full-screen map display function offers an incomparably detailed overview of the region currently being visited. As an addition to the perspective display already provided, it is now also possible to have an altitude map displayed. Selected places of interest along the route are highlighted in the form of photographically realistic graphics. The special map view under the menu item Highlight traffic situation provides an up-to-date convenience not just in urban traffic. In this view, current tailback information is marked in red on the display. On the motorway, this system ensures the driver always has a helpful overview when it comes to route changes due to traffic jams. Operation by voice and Controller can be conveniently combined. Another innovation of the iDrive system is that of multi-mode operation by voice and Controller. The customer can switch easily between each mode while performing a single task, and if necessary the voice control function can remain active during Controller entry, to be used at the same time. It is activated by pressing the relevant button on the multifunction steering wheel. Hard drive for audio files and navigation system. The features of the navigation system Professional also includes a hard drive integrated in the vehicle. This data medium has a capacity of 80 GB and enables exceptionally rapid access to digital navigation maps thereby setting a new benchmark. The hard drive can also be used for an extensive collection of music files. The system enables music files to be transferred to the hard drive from a CD, MP3 player or USB stick. The iDrive system can be used to access a personal music collection, a CD, another external player or the radio. The memory capacity available for music files is equivalent to about 100 audio CDs. In the vehicle database the individual music files are stored along with title and details of the artist.

of the vehicle. The special feature of this service is that the addresses located by the Call Centre can be relayed directly into the vehicle. All data transferred is easily fed into the navigation system by the driver at the press of a button, and transferred telephone numbers can also be called at the press of a button. PC interface: My Info and Send to Car functions. The BMW Assist service My Info offers the possibility of transferring entire sets of address data and messages from the PC directly to the vehicle via a personal BMW Assist Portal on the internet. This can be taken care of either by the driver himself or an authorised person. My Info is supplemented by the Send to Car functions. Addresses can be searched in Google Maps on the internet and then sent directly to the vehicle. After making a hotel reservation using the Hotel Reservation Service (HRS) on the internet, the address of the hotel in question can likewise be transferred directly to the vehicle. Remote functions provide convenience and safety. If the vehicle key has been left in the locked luggage compartment or the children have locked the car from the inside, the only solution would normally have been to call the roadside rescue service. BMW Service itself answers such calls up to 7,000 times a year in Germany alone. From now on a technology developed by the BMW Group provides rapid and convenient assistance. In future it will be possible for BMW ConnectedDrive customers worldwide to have their own vehicle unlocked or locked by a staff member at the BMW Call Centre after the appropriate identification has been secured first, of course. Like the vehicle position finder which locates the vehicle to the nearest metre, the remote control unlock and lock service is one of the new BMW remote functions. Beyond borders: BMW Assist services available abroad too. BMW drivers from Germany have access to BMW Assist services such as local travel information, emergency call and roadside assistance in German in Austria, Italy, France and Switzerland, too. This of course also applies to BMW drivers from Italy who are travelling in Germany, for example. This crossborder service will be extended to include other countries in Europe in the years to come. BMW Online already offers drivers the convenience of services in their own language in nine European countries. BMW Online: up-to-date wherever you go. (This description refers to services offered in Germany. The service portfolio differs in other countries in which BMW Online is offered.) BMW Online provides the driver with access to an internet-based portal which gives him access to exclusive and individually tailored mobility information, services

BMW Media Information 7/2008 Page 39
and office functions directly in the vehicle. BMW Online includes news (top news from all over the world, business, stock exchange and sports), weather, including ski areas, snow depths, frost forecasts and open-top weather according to season; travel information: parking info, Map on Mobile, travel, restaurant and hotel guides; telephone directory information: e.g. Google Local Search and Office (receive and send e-mails and address book). Rapid orientation: on the mobile phone too. With the service Map On Mobile, BMW Online networks the vehicle with a mobile phone, too: this enables the current location of the vehicle to be relayed to the mobile phone just before getting out of the vehicle. A section of a road map can then be accessed by mobile phone on the BMW Portal to facilitate orientation. The current position of the vehicle and the destination are marked on the map so that the driver can reach his destination quickly on foot from the parking location of the vehicle. BMW routes: discover the fascination. Whether mountain pass, coastal tour or lake circuit as of September 2008 BMW ConnectedDrive customers will be able to transfer the best routes directly to their vehicle at the press of a button via BMW Online. The navigation system then provides guidance along the selected route to the destination. Useful and interesting information relating to the route and recommended interim destinations are provided in words and pictures, always up-to-date. Alternatively, the customer can use the new Internet Route Planner to create his own personal route, save it and access it later in the vehicle. For the market launch, the Internet Route Planner will be extended to create an interactive route portal. Customers can then publish their own routes, be inspired by the favourite routes of other BMW drivers and rate these or comment on them. Information tailored to use in the automobile.

10. The new sports automatic transmission with double clutch in the BMW 3 Series Coup and the BMW 3 Series Convertible: Constant pulling power for maximum dynamic performance.
New 7-speed sports automatic transmission with double clutch, shifts without any interruption of traction. Increase in sprint capacity, reduced fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. Premiere in the BMW 335i Coup and BMW 335i Convertible.
BMW presents a enthralling alternative to the 6-speed manual transmission which fascinates drivers with sporty ambitions while at the same time providing all the convenience of an automatic transmission. The new 7-speed sports automatic transmission with double clutch (DKG) now available in the BMW 3 Series enables even more dynamic acceleration and contributes to the reduction of fuel consumption and exhaust emission levels: with these properties it represents the sportiest embodiment of the development strategy BMW EfficientDynamics. The new sports automatic transmission gives the driver the choice between automated shifting and manual gear selection. In both cases, the 7-speed double clutch transmission shifts without interruption of traction, thus enhancing both sporty drive response and shift comfort. The result is a unique combination of further increased dynamic performance when shifting manually with the comfort provided by automatic transmission and at fuel consumption and exhaust emission levels which are even lower than those of manual transmission vehicles. A newly designed shift lever is provided in the central console to operate the system. It is clearly differentiated from a conventional automatic transmission selector lever in its shape and its integrated display for the selected shift program; what is more it does not relay commands for the shift program selection or gear change by means of a mechanical connection but electronically. Alternatively, the driver can carry out manual gearshifts using so-called shift paddles which are attached to the steering wheel. The power transmission system developed for the BMW 3 Series is designed for especially powerful and high-revving engines in vehicles with rear-wheel drive. Consequently its debut is in the models BMW 335i Coup and BMW 335i Convertible, where it is featured in combination with the 225 kW/306 bhp in-line 6-cylinder engine with Twin Turbo and High Precision Injection.
