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.

in-line 6-cylinder engine in the BMW 335i. All engines are available for both the BMW 3 Series Saloon and the Touring model, and all are combined with the latest BMW EfficientDynamics measures in the environment of the engine, as suits the specific model configuration. Each of the ten engine types thus has a more favourable relationship between driving dynamics and economy as compared to competitor vehicles of similar output. As one of a number of features which are unique within the competitive field, all petrol engines are fitted with High Precision Injection and all diesel engines combine an all-aluminium crankcase, turbo charging and common rail direct injection of the third generation. The BMW 335i is especially dynamic, accelerating in just 5.6 seconds from zero to 100 km/h. The outright leader in terms of efficiency in the entire vehicle segment is the BMW 318d with an average fuel consumption in the EU test cycle of 4.7 litres per 100 kilometres and a CO2 emission level of 123 grams per kilometre. Optimised all-wheel drive system BMW xDrive now for the BMW 320d xDrive too. The new BMW 3 Series also presents a further expanded selection of engine types for combination with the intelligent all-wheel drive system BMW xDrive. For the first time it is possible to fit 4-cylinder models of this series with xDrive. The new BMW 320d xDrive combines outstanding efficiency with superior properties in terms of driving dynamics and traction. Both for the Saloon and the Touring of the new BMW 3 Series it is now possible to combine three petrol engines and two diesel engines with the intelligent all-wheel drive system BMW xDrive. The models in question now bear the designations BMW 335i xDrive, BMW 330i xDrive, BMW 325i xDrive, BMW 330d xDrive and BMW 320d xDrive. The electronically controlled permanent all-wheel drive system BMW xDrive offers an incomparable level of comfort, traction and agility over all surfaces due to its flexible distribution of drive torque between the front and rear axles. In order to ensure especially precise control, the computer unit of the drive stability regulation system Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and that of xDrive are networked with each other in the Integrated Chassis Management (ICM). With these capabilities, xDrive supports driving dynamics because it identifies any tendency to oversteer or understeer early on and counteracts effectively.

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 27
The top model: BMW 335i with 6-cylinder and Twin Turbo. In the top model of the BMW 3 Series, the BMW 335i, High Precision Injection is combined with an aluminium crankcase and Twin Turbo charging. The combination of two turbochargers, each supplying three cylinders with compressed air, results in a level of spontaneity which is exemplary among turbo engines. The key advantages of these comparatively small turbines is the low level of drag torque when accelerating. The turbo lag typical of conventional engines of this kind is thus eliminated entirely. The output curve of this turbo engine is the same as the power delivery of a naturally aspirated engine of significantly higher capacity, though avoiding the drawback of increased weight. This engine already three times winner of the international Engine of the Year award, including once again in 2008 generates an output of 225 kW/306 bhp at an engine speed of 5,800 rpm from a capacity of 2,979 cubic centimetres. The maximum torque of 400 Nm is available between 1,300 and 5,000 rpm. Thanks to this power delivery, both the BMW 335i Saloon and the BMW 335i Touring move into the sports car domain of 5.6 and 5.7 seconds respectively for the acceleration from zero to 100 km/h. The maximum speed of both models is electronically cut off at 250 km/h. The engines fuel consumption level of 9.1 litres per 100 kilometres in the EU test cycle (BMW 335i Touring: 9.3 litres) moderate for this performance class also makes the engine an especially fascinating example of efficient dynamics. Even more economical: petrol direct injection in lean operation mode. Another special feature of High Precision Injection is the fact that it enables the highly economical lean operation mode, with a reduced proportion of fuel in the fuel-air mixture across a broad engine speed range. This possibility is made use of in the 6-cylinder petrol engines of the BMW 330i and the BMW 325i as well as the two 4-cylinder versions, the BMW 320i and the BMW 318i. The lean injection mode, also known as stratified injection, makes it possible to achieve a high engine output with small quantities of fuel. In lean operation mode, differently composed layers of the fuel-air mixture form in the combustion chamber. Only directly in the area of the spark plug is there a layer which is sufficiently rich and therefore ignitable. As soon as it is ignited, the lean layers located further away from the spark plug are also combusted. This new technology reduces fuel consumption in the EU test cycle by around ten per cent as compared to the already very efficient predecessor engine with fully variable valve drive. In addition to High Precision Injection in lean operation mode, the 6-cylinder engines of the models BMW 330i and BMW 325i are also fitted with a magnesium-aluminium compound crankcase. This construction, which

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.

The new generation of the operating concept BMW iDrive: Simply fascinating.
Newly designed Controller, 8.8 inch Control Display. Optimised menu structure, high-resolution graphic display, extended range of functions. Additional comfort with direct selection buttons at the Controller and freely programmable functional bookmarks.
The pioneering operating system BMW iDrive is optionally available in the new BMW 3 Series for the activation and control of all standard and optional entertainment, information, navigation and telecommunications functions. The new generation of iDrive featured in conjunction with the optional navigation system Professional. In addition to a newly designed Controller in the central console there is an 8.8 inch Control Display with optimised high-resolution graphic display and freely programmable functional bookmarks below the DVD insert as well as additional direct selection buttons grouped around the Controller. In the new BMW iDrive, the operating element, i.e. the Controller in the central console, and the display element the central Control Display remain consistently separated. This ensures optimum ergonomic positioning of the controls and presentation of information with limited distraction of view from the road. The extremely large 8.8 inch display integrated in the instrument panel sets the benchmark in the competitive field with its clearly structured display and easily comprehensible, visually attractive graphics. It is at the same height as the instrument panel and is at optimum viewing distance for both the driver and the front passenger. Inviting functionality and excellent long-term benefits: Controller with direct selection buttons. The new iDrive Controller is now more effective to operate. The benefits of the controls, the menu structure and the graphics of the Control Display are revealed both on first contact and in the course of long-term use of the system. An image of the Controller shown in the Control Display facilitates orientation in selecting the next operating step. The operating steps activated by turning or pressing the Controller are very similar to mouse-clicks or wheel movements performed at a computer: turning the knob takes the user through a list of selectable menu items, while pressing it confirms the desired selection.

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

running smoothness. The enormous pulling power was also reflected in the vehicles impressive elasticity. The cars average fuel consumption of 7.0 litres diesel to 100 kilometres with a rated output of 135 kW/184 bhp and a maxi-mum speed of 225 km/h gave a whole new dimension to the idea of efficiency. The technological concept of the DI 6-cylinder engine was largely that of the 4-cylinder, with 4-valve technology, VNT turbocharger and charge-air cooling, though there was one crucial difference: instead of a distributor injection pump, a common rail system performed the function of supplying fuel to the cylinders. One of the last new models of this fourth generation of the BMW 3 Series was by no means a latecomer but a pioneer. In the BMW 330Cd, BMW offered a diesel engine in a Coup for the first time. The 204 bhp power package by that time the DI 6-cylinder had been given a power boost drove just as one would expect of a BMW Coup but was still a diesel with all the associated benefits: 410 Nm of torque at 1,500 rpm and an average fuel consumption of 6.6 litres. The fifth generation: BMW EfficientDynamics and much more besides. The fifth generation of the BMW 3 Series celebrated its world premiere at the Geneva International Automobile Salon in 2005. As usual, the Saloon model was launched first. Its striking appearance with short body overhangs, dynamic lines and a progressive shaping style instantly gave it a distinctive character. A stir was caused by the new in-line 6-cylinder, the first engine in the world to be fitted with a magnesium-aluminium compound crankcase. In addition, the variable valve control system Valvetronic was applied to the 6-cylinder engine for the first time. In combination with the variable camshaft control Double Vanos, this led to an even more spontaneous and more efficient fuel supply. The new BMW 330i delivered 190 kW/258 bhp from a capacity of 3.0 litres and generated a maximum torque of 300 Nm. 6.3 seconds were sufficient for the spurt to 100 km/h, while its average fuel consumption was 8.7 litres per 100 kilometres. The two 4-cylinder engines each had a capacity of 2.0 litres: the diesel engine in the BMW 320d delivered 120 kW/163 bhp, the petrol engine in the BMW 320i managed 110 kW/150 bhp. The engineers had completely redeveloped the chassis of the BMW 3 Series. Its double joint spring strut front suspension was made entirely of aluminium, the five-link rear axle was a lightweight steel construction. The driving stability regulation function DSC was fitted as standard with the addition of functions such as brake readiness and hill start assist. The BMW 3 Series was also the first vehicle in its segment to be fitted with Active Steering. Another new

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.

gear is already engaged. It is then sufficient for the clutch responsible for the fourth gear to close while the clutch for the third gear simultaneously opens: within milliseconds the engine power is transferred to the wheels at the new gear transmission ratio. This enables a jerk-free, comfortable gearshift which is also incomparably fast and without any interruption of traction whatsoever. The electronic control system detects the drivers wishes. When selecting the next gear ahead of time, the electronic control system always takes account of the current situation on the road. Based on the accelerator pedal position, the engine speed, road speed and shift program selected, the system identifies the level of intensity of an acceleration manoeuvre as desired by the driver or any intended reduction of speed, for example. The transmission control always provides for as harmonious a continuation of the manoeuvre initiated by the driver as possible. Even in the event of an extremely abrupt change of driving style, any required change of gear is effected with high speed and precision. If for example an initiated acceleration manoeuvre has to be interrupted unexpectedly, the sports automatic transmission with double clutch instantly provides a transmission ratio which is appropriate to the new situation. Safety and comfort functions supplement sporty character. The sports automatic transmission with double clutch not only supports the driver in terms of a sporty driving style, it also offers a wide range of safety and comfort functions. The automatic engine speed increase causes a regulation of engine drag torque appropriate to the situation at hand when shifting down at critical moments, thereby preventing the rear of the vehicle from swerving. For especially slow vehicle movements for example parking manoeuvres or in stop-and-go traffic the new sports automatic transmission with double clutch also has a crawl function as familiar from conventional automatic transmissions. Setting off gently without activating the accelerator is thus possible at a maximum level of comfort and regardless of the operating state of the transmission. What is more, hill detection ensures that shift timing is oriented towards the route profile. On uphill and downhill slopes, gearshifts are set differently to when driving on the level roads. In combination with top-of-the-range engine of the BMW 3 Series, the sports automatic transmission with double clutch offers an experience of driving dynamics which was previously only provided by high-performance sports cars.

Editorial

A MODEL ATHLETE.
Speed, dynamism and stamina the Coup is the athlete within the BMW Series family. In athletics, it is not the strongest, biggest and heaviest competitor who wins. To reach the top, you need a combination of technique, power and endurance. This is where the BMW Series Coup excels. BMW engineers scrutinise its body-mass index more than that of any other BMW Series. A balanced front-rear weight distribution and powerful engines are equally high priorities. Having an equal amount of weight on the front and rear axles ensures precise cornering. Powerful, responsive engines make for exhilarating acceleration. In the BMW i Coup, drivers can experience a state-of-the-art engine. Despite having the same power output as its predecessor, the BMW TwinPower Turbo six-cylinder in-line petrol unit with petrol direct injection now consumes up to. litres less per km. The two diesel engines available for the BMW Series Coup the d and d do not just consume less fuel, they also offer increased power. The engine is the heart of every BMW. Engine design is at the centre of the entire BMW EfcientDynamics strategy, optimising the transformation of fuel into driving enjoyment. This is an experience that can be savoured every day in the BMW Series Coup.

The BMW Series Coup features a whole host of innovative technologies to help you get the most out of each drive. Together, they ensure that you enjoy maximum driving pleasure, in maximum safety.
THE FEELING OF DRIVING THE BMW SERIES COUP IS BEYOND DESCRIPTION. ITS TECHNOLOGY ISNT.
Active Steering. Every bend is different. That is why the Active Steering system, available as an option for the six-cylinder models, adjusts both steering ratio and steering force as a function of road speed. At low speeds for example when parking two turns of the steering wheel are enough to go from lock to lock. At higher speeds, the steering wheel must be turned further to achieve the same effect, enhancing stability.
xDrive. The intelligent all-wheel drive in the premium segment: whatever you encounter on the road leaves, wetness or snow with the optional and intelligent xDrive all-wheel drive system and Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), your BMW remains stable and safely on track. As soon as xDrive detects any tendency towards understeer or oversteer, based on data such as steering wheel angle and wheel speeds, the system responds with lightning speed. Using an electronically controlled www.bmw.com/SeriesCoupe/ multi-plate clutch, it redistributes speedtransmission drive torque between the front and rear wheels within fractions of a second in order to ensure optimum traction at all times. -speed sport automatic transmission with double clutch. This innovative transmission (optionally available for the BMW i Coup) has two separate clutches for the odd and even gears. When one gear is disengaged, the next one is already engaged minimising shift times, and maximising precision. So you can accelerate without any interruption of power, just like in a sports car.

The BMW Individual High-End Audio System creates a listening experience on a par with a concert hall, using exceptionally powerful speakers with extremely stiff Hexacone membranes. Optimum positioning of the high-end speakers in the vehicle and unique signal processing thanks to the -channel amplifier with DIRAC Live technology further enhance sound quality, eliminating sound impurities and minimising sound reflections. Interior-specific equalizing and speed-dependent volume control ensure supreme HiFi enjoyment.

Car manufacturing requires a great deal of water, which is why weve developed an intelligent circulatory system for our factories that ensures water is re-used as often as possible. The dream of a manufacturing process that does not produce any waste water has already been made a reality at our engine plant in Steyr. In , , engines were manufactured without producing a single drop of waste water. Sustainability is taken very seriously at the BMW Group. For this reason, we prioritise environmentally-friendly methods of transport such as rail and shipping and work towards capacity optimisation. Each year, we cover around. billion tonne kilometres transporting materials and new vehicles. Of this, % of the total transported volume is delivered by sea which benets both road trafc and the environment.
The BMW Group has their sights set on tomorrow. Your BMW is part of a comprehensive recycling concept. Every single vehicle can be easily and economically recycled. Please contact your BMW partner on all matters regarding the return of your end-of-life vehicle. For more information visit www.bmw.com/EfcientDynamics www.bmwgroup.com/sustainability
