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.

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.
BMW Media Information 7/2008 Page 13
Superior chassis technology, Active Steering as an option. The new BMW 3 Series has the most sophisticated chassis technology in its segment. At the rear axle there is a five-link construction which is adapted to the needs of the especially high-power and high-torque engines. The front axle of the BMW 3 Series also reflects a unique standard of engineering. The dual-arm tension strut axle with stabiliser is largely made of aluminium. The standard equipment also includes an electro-mechanical steering system with integrated Servotronic function for speed-related steering support. Active Steering is also optionally available: here, steering transmission is adapted to road speed. Optimised occupant protection with crash-active headrests. The safety concept of the new BMW 3 Series is based on a solid body structure, the selective application of high-strength steel types and special deformation elements which divert and absorb impact energy. In addition there are six airbags, 3-point automatic belts and headrests on all seats to offer occupants optimum protection. What is more, ISOFIX childrens seat mounts on the rear seats are a standard feature. The front seats of the new BMW 3 Series are fitted as standard with crash-active headrests which significantly reduce the risk of injury to the cervical spine in the event of an impact. Controlled by the vehicles safety electronics system, this feature ensures that in the event of a rear-on collision the front section of the headrest is moved forward by up to 60 millimetres and upwards by as much as 40 millimetres. This reduces the distance between headrest and head, thus increasing the stabilising and securing function of the headrest. A contribution to active safety is made by the new generation of adaptive headlight, optionally available in conjunction with bi-xenon headlamps. It guarantees illumination of the road surface when taking a corner. Here the swivel direction of the headlamps is derived from the steering angle, the yaw rate and the road speed of the vehicle. At low speeds the turning light is activated. This function is performed by one of the two inside headlamps, depending on the direction. Before each turning manoeuvre, the light cone is turned specifically in the appropriate direction to illuminate the road ahead. Best heating and climate comfort in the segment. In the area of comfort fittings, too, the new BMW 3 Series has a range of optimised features to offer. The further developed heating and air conditioning technology ensures that the interior maintains the desired temperature throughout the year. The new BMW 3 Series has the most high-performance heating and cooling system in its category. Within one minute the entire interior air volume can be completely exchanged three times. In spite of the

BMW EfficientDynamics in the new BMW 3 Series: Prepared for the EU 6 exhaust gas norm with BluePerformance.
New in-line 6-cylinder diesel engine in the BMW 330d. Exhaust emissions reduction in accordance with EU 5, also EU 6 as an optional extra. A wide range of BMW EfficientDynamics measures in the BMW 3 Series achieve maximum breadth of effect in CO2 reduction.
The engine versions of the new BMW 3 Series have the lowest fuel consumption and exhaust emission levels as compared to their respective competitors. Frequently this leading position in the area of efficiency goes hand in hand with a significantly higher level of driving dynamics, too. The latest example of this is the newly developed in-line 6-cylinder diesel engine. The power unit of the new BMW 330d has an output of 80 kW/245 bhp, 10 kW more than its predecessor engine, not only with a seven per cent reduction in fuel consumption at the same time but also offering the option of BMW BluePerformance technology with no impact on output and fuel consumption to meet the requirements for the exhaust gas norm EU 6 which will does come into force until 2014. As usual with BMW, Brake Energy Regeneration, Shift Point Display, active aerodynamics and needs-related control of the auxiliary units are also part of the standard equipment of the new BMW 330d. In the BMW 3 Series the most successful BMW model series in terms of numbers of vehicles sold a particularly large number of customers benefit from these and other current BMW EfficientDynamics measures. In this way, the extensive introduction of efficiency-enhancing technology in the BMW 3 Series reaches the widest number of customers. The new BMW 330d: increased output, reduced fuel consumption, lower levels of exhaust emissions. With the new BMW 330d the benchmark in this segment has been raised even higher. Its 3.0 litre all-aluminium engine has common rail injection of the third generation whose piezo injectors operate at a pressure of up to 1,800 bar, and a turbocharger with variable turbine geometry. It is fitted as standard with a diesel particulate filter and an oxidation catalytic converter. The new diesel power unit reaches its maximum output of 180 kW/245 bhp at an engine speed of 4,000 rpm, its maximum torque of 520 Nm is available

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.

1,800 bar. The turbocharger with variable turbine geometry has also been optimised, as has the exhaust gas recycling system. What is more, the weight of the engine has been reduced by an additional five kilograms. From a capacity of 3.0 litres, the engine of the new BMW 330d delivers an output of 180 kW/245 bhp at an engine speed of 4,000 rpm, its maximum torque of 520 Nm is available from 1,750 to 3,000 rpm. In the Saloon version, the new BMW 330d accelerates in 6.1 seconds from zero to 100 km/h (Touring: 6.2 seconds), its maximum speed is electronically cut off at 250 km/h. In the EU test cycle the Saloon version of the new BMW 330d achieves an average fuel consumption of 5.7 litres per 100 kilometres (Touring: 5.9 litres). The CO2 levels are 152 grams and 155 grams per kilometre respectively. BMW 335d: maximum diesel power due to Variable Twin Turbo. The top diesel engine among the diesel power units available for the new BMW 3 Series moves into an even higher power range. The 3.0 litre in-line 6-cylinder with common rail direct injection of the third generation and Variable Twin Turbo in the BMW 335d delivers 210 kW/286 bhp at an engine speed of 4,400 rpm and provides its maximum torque of 580 Nm between 1,750 and 2,250 rpm. The output and pulling power of the most powerful 6-cylinder BMW diesel reach the levels of 8-cylinder power units, while its weight is significantly less. This impressive power delivery is especially due to the use of two turbochargers of differing sizes. With Variable Twin Turbo, a small turbocharger is initially activated at low engine speeds. Due to its low moment of inertia, it develops its power-enhancing effect spontaneously and without any delay even responding to the slightest movement of the accelerator pedal. As the engine speed increases, the second and larger turbocharger comes into play, allowing the engine to reach its highest output levels. The BMW 335d spurts in 6.0 seconds from zero to 100 km/h (Touring: 6.1 seconds). The maximum speed is electronically cut off at 250 km/h. The average fuel consumption of the new BMW 335d determined according to the EU test cycle is 6.7 litres per 100 kilometres (Touring: 6.8 litres). Spontaneous power, a high degree of efficiency: 3-litre diesel in the BMW 325d. The third generation of common rail injection, an all-aluminium crankcase and turbocharging are likewise characteristic of the third in-line 6-cylinder diesel engine for the new BMW 3 Series. In the BMW 325d this version of the 3-litre power unit provides a maximum output of 145 kW/197 bhp at an engine speed of 4,000 rpm.
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.

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.

The history: From pioneer to role model for dynamic performance in the medium category.
1975: premiere for a new vehicle category. Ongoing progress: the BMW 3 Series as a bearer of innovation. Setting the benchmark in the segment over five model generations.
To be exact, the history of the BMW 3 Series began in March 1966 with the presentation of the BMW 1600-2 at the Geneva Salon. This was the starting signal for what was then the smallest BMW model series: a 2-door Saloon with a sports-style design and an engine with a slightly coup-like character as well as the classic engineering features of the engine at the front and rearwheel drive. The BMW 3 Series has always remained faithful to this fundamental principle and acquired its new designation at its premiere in 1975 as a new vehicle category within the BMW model architecture. Over five model generations, the BMW 3 Series has always remained faithful to its character as an agile, smart automobile with an engine of excellent quality and indeed went on to become the original role model for this type of vehicle. But it has also repeatedly been a pioneer of technological progress and has set the benchmark in its segment. The first generation: the 3 Series BMW instantly becomes an original. While the first generation of the BMW 3 Series (1975 to 1983) had a single body shape and initially four later five engine types with up to 143 bhp in the BMW 323i, the number of versions and engine types was to multiply significantly over the next 30 years. The second generation: variety of versions. The second generation (1982 to 1994) brought with it a second body version with the first four-door model, a third body version with the Convertible and a fourth with the Touring (at the time deliberately spelt in lowercase letters), as well as the first all-wheel drive version. In addition to powerful 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder petrol engines with up to 171 bhp, an 86 bhp diesel engine was also offered for the first time. As a high-performance version, BMW Motorsport GmbH contributed the M3 initially with 200 bhp, later 238 bhp. The third generation: the advance in design. The third generation (1990 to 2000) started out with a completely new styling, the body also increasing notably in size to allow for a more comfortable and safer passenger cell. In the engine area the use of 4-valve technology brought

BMW Media Information 7/2008 Page 45
about a significant increase in output: the range now went from 100 bhp in the BMW 316i to 193 bhp in the BMW 328i Coup. As a fifth body version alongside the Saloon, Coup, Touring and Convertible the BMW 3 Series compact was now introduced which for the first time offered an 87 bhp engine running on CNG gas in addition to petrol and diesel versions. The fourth generation: a firework display of innovations. In May 1998 the fourth BMW 3 Series was launched initially as a 4-door Saloon once again, with increased comfort, safety and performance. And it did so with a bang: the BMW 320d was the first BMW with a direct injection engine, overshadowing everything else in its category with an output of 100 kW/136 bhp, a top speed of 207 km/h and a fuel consumption of 5.7 litres. The other engine versions were equally groundbreaking: the basic model was the BMW 318i with 118 bhp, followed by the BMW 320i with 150 bhp and six cylinders, the BMW 323i with 170 bhp and finally the BMW 328 with 193 bhp. And these engines had many new features to offer: inside the 1.8-litre 4-cylinder engine there were two balancing shafts which improved the noise level inside the car by up to 10 dBA as compared to the predecessor model. The technologically most prominent measure in the 6-cylinder engines was the introduction of Double Vanos to provide a fuller torque curve and further reduce the level of pollutants in the exhaust gas. With the combination of rear-wheel drive, an ideal weight distribution of 50:50, the electronic regulation systems ABS, ASC+T and the dynamic stability control system DSC III, the chassis of the BMW 3 Series moved the benchmark up to a new level. A highlight in this package was the ITS head airbag, a tube-like structure hidden in the door frame next to the driver and front passenger ensuring significantly improved head protection over previous systems. But it was not only these spectacular new features which allowed the 3 Series to advance into regions otherwise reserved for the luxury performance segment. BMW also introduced the new Car Memory and Key Memory as standard features, as well as offering the multifunction steering wheel, rain sensor and Steptronic as optional extras. From autumn 1998 there followed integrated childrens seats, RDC, xenon light, on-board monitor with navigation system, TV and extended on-board computer. In addition to the Saloon, the highlights in the model range of the fourth generation were the new versions of the Coup, Touring, Convertible and compact, with the BMW 330d as a special highlight. With a rated torque of 390 Nm from 1,750 rpm, the 6-cylinder diesel was a sheer power package with extreme

BMW Media Information 7/2008 Page 51
Before setting off, the driver must select first gear in manual mode. After releasing the brake pedal and with maximum pressure on the accelerator pedal (kick-down) the vehicle then accelerates in optimum fashion at full throttle with rear wheel slip regulated by DSC up to maximum speed if desired. Here the double clutch transmission automatically sets the shift points without intervention by the driver so that the optimum follow-up engine speed is always available when shifting up. Once the acceleration manoeuvre is complete, the driver takes control of the gears once more. Functional principle adapted from motor racing. The principle of the double clutch transmission has its roots in motor racing. It has become well established on the race track, where even a tenth of a second can decide victory or defeat, as with sequential shifting familiar from Formula 1. Shifting up at full throttle without interruption of traction even makes a professional driver a few valuable fractions of a second faster. For serial production vehicles, the appropriate shift comfort was only possible in combination with engines offering a significantly lower level of output and torque. For the first time it is now possible to make the benefits of the double clutch transmission available at high levels of output and in combination with rear-wheel drive and engines with increased engine speeds. The sports automatic transmission with double clutch is designed for engine speeds of up to 9,000 rpm and torque levels of up to 600 Nm and is therefore ideally suited to the character of the high-revving in-line 6-cylinder engines of BMW. The sports automatic transmission with double clutch combines two partial gearboxes in one casing, whose compact dimensions are the same as those of a conventional manual transmission. The technical core of the system is provided by two oil-cooled wet clutches. One of the two clutches is for the even transmission stages (2, 4, 6), the other is for the uneven transmission stages (1, 3, 5, 7) and the reverse gear. While the vehicle is moving, one of the two clutches is closed and the other open. During an acceleration manoeuvre also when shifting down they thus operate in alternation. At every gearshift, the opening of the first clutch happens simultaneously with the closing of the second. The transmission control system identifies the next gear with a transmission ratio which is ideally suited to the relevant engine speed and road speed, selecting it in advance and holding it in readiness. For example, if the vehicle is accelerating in third gear the power transmission is effected through the relevant clutch and partial gearbox with the uneven gears. In the partial gearbox responsible for the even transmission stages, the gear required to continue the acceleration process in this case the fourth
