DRIVER ASSISTANCE FEATURES: DESIGNED TO
ENHANCE YOUR BMW DRIVING EXPERIENCE.
Driving a BMW isnt always the thrill of taking tight corners and accelerating onto a highway. There are the more mundane tasks of, say, finding
and maneuvering into a parking space, or exiting an indoor garage onto a busy street and avoiding pedestrians you cannot see. For those times,
innovative BMW ConnectedDrive driver assistance features make every moment behind the wheel as effortless and enjoyable as possible.
HEAD-UP DISPLAY.
The BMW Head-up Display uses a multi-color TFT to project the image
toward the windshield more in your line of vision, so you can easily
keep your eyes on the road while checking important travel information,
such as your current speed, Check Control data and Navigation system
directional arrows.
PARKING ASSISTANT.
This driver assistance system searches for suitable parking spots and
then steers your vehicle into them. Simply press the Park Assistant
button, then drive along potential parking spaces on either side of the
road, staying below mph and no more than ve feet away. Using
ultrasonic sensors integrated into the side indicators, the system
searches for and measures parking spaces. When a space at least
four feet longer than your vehicle is spotted, it is shown on your Control
Display. Shift into reverse and Parking Assistant takes control of steering
your vehicle into the selected space; you operate the accelerator and
brake pedals. The acoustic and visual warnings of Park Distance Control
provide assistance.
DRIVING ASSISTANCE FEATURES.
Numerous BMW ConnectedDrive features help enhance active safety.
For example, when your vehicle crosses over lane markings without
signaling, Lane Departure Warning, a component of Active Driving
Assistant, warns you by sending a mild vibration through the steering
wheel. Active Blind Spot Detection, activated when you use the turn-
signal indicator before changing lanes, warns if a vehicle is in your blind
spot or approaching at a high speed in the passing lane.
BMW NIGHT VISION WITH PEDESTRIAN DETECTION.
This feature can scan up to feet ahead using an infrared camera
in the front bumper. It can detect people, as well as the direction of
their movement, up to approximately feet away and displays their
presence on the iDrive screen and Head-up Display. The system gives
a visual warning when pedestrians move toward the road, alerting you
to potential dangers signicantly earlier so you can react more quickly.
Note: Illumination of pedestrians not available in the US.

BMW EfficientDynamics
Less emissions. More driving pleasure.
BMW EFFICIENT DYNAMICS:
MAKING A LITTLE GO A LONG WAY.
BMW was one of the rst automotive manufacturers to pursue efcient driving technologies one part of our award-winning sustainability strategy.
BMW EfcientDynamics represents the most comprehensive package of innovative technologies currently in production for reducing fuel consumption
and emissions. Our commitment to EfcientDynamics means we are continuously developing innovative systems that bring us closer to our long-term
goal of emissions-free mobility. Since BMW has been able to reduce the CO emissions of its entire eet by approximately percent, and
intends to achieve a further percent reduction by . However, we remain committed to driving pleasure, which is being pursued in different ways.

Eco-friendly technology. The development of more efcient vehicles powered by conventional gasoline and diesel engines are continuing
challenges. A comprehensive technology directive enables the reduction of fuel consumption and emissions, while at the same time increasing power
output and driving enjoyment. These advances are based on innovations such as BMW TwinPower Turbo technology, Brake Energy Regeneration,
Air Curtain front apron design, and many others.

BMW ActiveHybrid. With the BMW ActiveHybrid , BMW ActiveHybrid and BMW ActiveHybrid , BMW has impressive hybrid production models
in its line. All combine outstanding efciency with superlative dynamic ability.

BMW i. The all-new BMW i brand is launching two completely new vehicle concepts for sustainable mobility in an urban environment; both are an
important part of BMW EfcientDynamics technologies. Key features of the BMW i and BMW i include the use of lightweight materials such as
carbon-ber-reinforced plastic (CFRP), electric drive systems, powerful battery technology and eco-friendly production methods.

THE BMW EFFICIENT DYNAMICS FEATURES

IN THE NEW BMW X AT A GLANCE.
Aerodynamics.
Carefully optimized aerodynamics ensure a low drag coefcient and,
therefore, a positive effect on overall efciency. The new X features a
host of aerodynamic features, like drag-reducing Air Curtains in front
and, in back, Aero Blades air-channeling elements that work in concert
with the roof spoiler as well as the at underbody paneling, and
optimized design of the front air dam and air intakes.
Auto Start-Stop function.
Even when idling, such as at a stop sign, an engine burns fuel. The
BMW Auto Start-Stop function enhances fuel efciency by switching off
the engine. (The intelligent electronics system rst checks the battery
charge level and calculates if other electric systems, like the rear-window
defroster, need more energy.) Once the brake pedal is released, the
engine starts up again almost instantly. A Start-Stop signal in the Display
indicates the function is active.
BMW Advanced Diesel with BluePerformance Technology.
BMW vehicles with this technology, like the BMW X xDrived, emit
percent less CO than conventional vehicles, and reduce nitric oxide
(NOx) to a minimum. It has no impact on the actual combustion process
in fact, BMW diesel-powered vehicles post powerful - mph numbers.
BMW TwinPower Turbo technology.
This innovative turbocharging technology efciently reclaims the energy
contained in exhaust gases by using a twin-scroll charger.
Brake Energy Regeneration.
In Brake Energy Regeneration, the alternator generates electricity only
when the driver takes his or her foot off the accelerator. Kinetic energy
that was previously unharnessed is transformed into electrical energy,
then fed into the battery. In this way, electricity is generated without
consuming fuel.
ECO PRO mode.
Fuel-consumption-friendly ECO PRO mode adapts accelerator pedal and
gearbox responses while also moderating the heating/air conditioning
systems to maximize efciency. The new ECO PRO Route function takes
trafc density, individual driving style and local conditions into account,
then offers directions optimized for efciency while adding minimal travel
time. The displayed fuel consumption benet lets you decide whether or
not to follow this recommendation.
Electric Power Steering.
Unlike conventional, hydraulic steering systems, electric power steering
draws power only during actual steering movements. When the steering
wheel position is constant, the electric motor is inactive.
-speed STEPTRONIC automatic transmission.
The close spacing of gear ratios in this -speed automatic transmission
makes maximum use of the optimum rev range, reducing fuel consump-
tion and allowing smoother shifts.

Not all BMW EfcientDynamics features are available on all models.

 THE BEST FOUNDATION FOR DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE:
A SUPERIOR CHASSIS.
The BMW X can be equipped with a whole host of innovative technologies to help you get the most out of each drive. Many of these systems
are intelligently networked with each other, maximizing your active safety quotient and your driving pleasure.
xDrive intelligent all-wheel-drive system
in the BMW X xDrivei, X xDrived and steering ratio and steering force in relation to
X xDrivei provides maximum traction, even
in the most slippery conditions. The system
monitors data such as engine speed, steering
angle, wheel speeds and acceleration. On
smooth, dry roads, more power is normally
sent to the rear axle, giving vehicles with xDrive
the feel of their rear-wheel-drive counterparts.
But hit a wet uphill curve, for instance, and
even before wheelspin can occur, the system
immediately recognizes any need for a change
in power distribution. Using a controlled clutch,
it sends more torque to the front axle to enhance
stability and achieve greater traction.
-speed Sport Automatic transmission
adjusts to your style from comfortable
cruising to very dynamic driving. To change
gears, you can use the selector lever or
steering wheel-mounted gear shift paddles.
In Sport mode, modied clutch settings allow
very quick adjustments in engine speed, for
minimal shift times. The close spacing of the
eight gears optimizes acceleration, while also
maximizing efciency and comfortable shifting.

Active steering. This system adjusts both
most innovative BMW suspension-modifying
driving speed. At low to medium speeds, a
small turn of the steering wheel translates into
a big turn of the front wheels. You enjoy more
agility in city driving, quicker turns on twisting
roads, and easier parking maneuvers. At higher
speeds, a larger turn of the steering wheel is
needed to turn the front wheels, resulting in
greater straight-line stability.
Servotronic adjusts the power steering to suit
your current speed, and ensures a direct, precise
steering response at high speeds. It minimizes
the physical effort required when steering, and
increases the Xs agility when navigating
narrow or twisting roads.
Adaptive M Suspension incorporates
electronically controlled dampers that adapt to
your driving style and road conditions. Settings
can be designated via the Driving Dynamics
Control button. The Adaptive M Suspension
also lowers the X approximately . inch
without sacricing ride comfort. Stiffer, more
dynamic system settings can be selected by
activating the SPORT or SPORT+ mode.
Dynamic Handling Package combines the
systems. Rear-axle air suspension ensures
the most comfortable ride possible under all
road conditions. Dynamic Damper Control
instantly adjusts shock absorbers from the
softest to the rmest settings. The result is
exceptional ride comfort and uid handling at
all times during changes in vehicle speed,
load or road and driving conditions. Active
Roll Stabilization helps keep the X body
level when cornering, while providing maximum
stability and agility. As opposed to xDrive,
which can send available power from the rear
to the front, Dynamic Performance Control
smoothly apportions available power between
the rear wheels. When cornering, Dynamic
Performance Control sends more power to
the outside rear wheel, enabling the vehicle to
turn in with less understeer, letting you make
tight turns and corner with condence.

Xenon Adaptive Headlights, powerful engines and large brakes, help you see and respond to potentially dangerous situations. Should an accident prove
unavoidable, passive safety features, such as airbags and reinforcing bars that hook the doors to the body, are designed to help protect you and your
passengers. After a severe impact, a host of features spring into action: the doors automatically unlock, headlights and taillights flash, the starter cable is
disconnected from the battery and the fuel supply is cut off. Should any airbags deploy, BMW Assist eCall response specialists are automatically
alerted and notified of your location along with the type of assistance you and any passengers will probably need, based on sensor readings.

also includes Brake Fade Compensation, which lets you use the same
amount of pedal force, even when the brakes are heated; Brake Stand-by,
which pre-tenses the brakes for quicker action if you suddenly remove
your foot from the accelerator pedal; and Brake Drying, which periodically
brings the brake pads into contact with the rotors to eliminate accumulated
moisture when it rains.

BMW and the environment.

BMW is a strong proponent of the environment and social responsibility. We launched
BMW EfcientDynamics back in 2000 the philosophy of providing greater power with
increased efciency and fewer emissions. This has resulted in signicant benets today
for our customers, the climate and the environment.

That year, ecological sustainability was also declared one of BMWs core strategic principles;
it is now rmly anchored in our entire production chain. It starts with the development of
fuel-saving and alternative vehicle concepts, continues with environmentally friendly
production processes, and ends with innovative recycling methods. This effort has been
recognized worldwide; in 1999, BMW AG the parent company of BMW of North America
and BMW Manufacturing Co. in Spartanburg, SC was the rst automotive company to be
represented on the Dow Jones Sustainability Group Index. It has remained on the Index ever
since; moreover, since 2005, BMW has been voted the worlds most sustainable automobile
manufacturer. At BMW, we strive for and achieve high performance in all we do.
