Less emissions. More driving pleasure.
JOY RAISES
THE BAR.
What elicits joy in driving? At BMW, it’s about raising bars – as we have with the new Series Coupe for . To turn heads
in traffic, the new Series Coupe sports bold, new styling. To our lineup of high-performance powerplants we offer the
push-you-back-in-the-seat thrill of not one, but two advanced, fast-response dual-scroll TwinPower Turbo engines. And to
our acclaimed -speed manual and STEPTRONIC automatic transmissions we’ve added a -speed, paddle-shifting Double
Clutch Transmission that changes gears in a flash, with no interruption in power. Why all these enhancements to a car that
has been selected among Car and Driver’s “Best” Cars for a record years running? Our joy – and yours – is born of
striving for perfection. Not resting on laurels.
Editorial
A BREED APART.
Is it surprising that we sell a lot of manual transmissions to Series
Coupe drivers? For them, it isn’t about Point A to Point B. Pavement
is their playground. It’s not uncommon for a Coupe driver to hop in
and just… drive.
There are also not one, but two dynamic TwinPower Turbo inline six
.-liter engines with High Precision fuel injection. Both give Coupe
drivers what they crave: more power with increased fuel efficiency
and virtually no fun-robbing “turbo lag.” And, of course, for all Series

Joy loves the environment. That’s the idea behind
BMW EfficientDynamics: more driving pleasure with
minimized fuel consumption and less emissions.
On the outside, all BMWs are wind-tunnel tested to
optimize a body shape that minimizes fuel-wasting
aerodynamic drag. Under the hood, BMW engines
continue to win awards for ever-more powerful output
along with advanced fuel-extending technologies,
such as the unique Valvetronic engine breathing

NEW LIGHTING – THE BETTER
TO SEE AND BE SEEN.
Joy is brilliant. Consider the new lighting for the Series Coupe.
At the front, circling the daylight-bright Xenon headlights are four Corona
headlight-rings, now powered by bright LED lights. Also used as Daytime
Running Lights, the headlight-rings’ distinctive look announces your
presence to other drivers. The far edge of each headlight fixture is illum-
inated with a daring LED “string” array; above, a new light trim bar gives
the Series Coupe a focused look. Moving to the rear, new long-lasting
LED tail- and brakelights are arrayed in horizontal tubes that illuminate
simultaneously, creating a unique, eye-catching design with depth and
dimension. And inside the cabin, the drama of warm Ambiance interior
lighting, streaming down from under the ledge on the door and side
panels, puts you and your passengers at ease. It’s easy to see: your
BMW Series Coupe will own the night.
Joy is confident – whether you’re turning into a tight country-road bend, accelerating onto
the busy Interstate, or twisting through hectic city streets. The BMW Series Coupe
puts you in firm command with intelligent vehicle technology like Active Steering, which
matches steering response and feel to your driving demands. For instance, at low speeds
the steering wheel needs only two turns lock-to-lock, making parking gymnastics a breeze.
As you accelerate, it actively adapts the steering ratio to maintain a consistent, razor-sharp
feel. Meanwhile, Dynamic Stability Control and Dynamic Traction Control help prevent driving
problems before you notice them. And, of course, like all BMWs, the Series Coupe is
balanced with near-perfect / weight distribution and a race-proven suspension, engi-
neered to provide the pinnacle of driving performance – all of which can be experienced
on a stretch of blacktop near your BMW center.
NO MATTER WHERE,
THE BLACKTOP BELONGS TO YOU.
ADVANCED DESIGN.
YET ONE GLANCE SAYS “BMW.”
Joy is timeless. That’s why BMWs produced , or even years ago still look current. This is not by
chance. Our spirited designers ceaselessly innovate to advance the BMW look into one that is of its time
– yet timeless. The BMW Series Coupe is no exception. Its iconic BMW kidney grille is now wider
and integrated into the Series’ athletic shape, with an eager stance and new, longer hood. These work in
perfect harmony with the sporty low roofline, distinctive shoulder line, crisp new hood creases and the tail’s
elegant short overhang. Even the sleek new side-view mirrors were created to blend effortlessly into this
powerfully sculpted design. It’s the newest expression of the classic BMW Series allure.

CLOSE THE DOOR.
RELAX – YOU’RE PROTECTED.
In this virtual world, designers and engineers can view the future vehicle
and even move around in it. In the so-called CAVE (Cave Automated
Virtual Environment), the observer, sitting in a car seat, is surrounded
by walls that have real-time moving images projected onto them. In
this way, the viewer gains the realistic impression of a cockpit with all
its switches, displays and a natural landscape surrounding the vehicle.
A radio signal provided by special -D glasses tells the computers
what the “driver” is currently looking at, and a data glove enables him
or her to operate the vehicle’s controls. This allows verification of the
cockpit’s layout and ergonomics. The software is so clever, it displays
light reflections in the vehicle’s windows, and even shows the quality
of the materials. In this way, designers can enjoy their first “test drive”
before the first prototype is built.
Despite its amazing degree of realism, virtual reality is only one tool in
the design and development of a new vehicle. It is no substitute for
creativity, experience and intuition. Even today, every vehicle design
begins with a sketch – still the quickest way to visualize an idea. And of
course, the designer also has to be able to see and work on a full-scale
clay model, to get a sense for the feel of the design, and to be able to
develop and perfect the unmistakable character of every new BMW.
EXPERIENCE
TOMORROW,
TODAY.
To create the perfect vehicle, BMW designers and engineers
do much of their work in a computer-generated virtual reality.
This enables early design verification, shortening development
cycles and saving resources.
The future vehicle can be viewed from any perspective. You can zoom
in and out, and turn it in any direction. You can open the doors, or look
under the hood. You can even get in and take a seat. But this vehicle,
as convincing as it may look, is not made of metal and plastic. It consists
of data – an unimaginably huge amount of data, converted into spatial
images by high-performance computers. The images feel as real as
reality, even though they are only a simulation. Virtual Reality (VR) is the
watchword of today’s automotive engineers. In the past, it was necessary
to create several prototypes in order to test various modules. Today,
designers, developers and product engineers in the BMW Research
and Innovation Center work on a single digital model that they optimize
on-screen. This protects the environment, lowers costs and shortens

look like. Details can be enlarged to any desired magnification.
SCENERY CAN BE TOUCHING.
SO CAN INTERIORS.
Joy is tactile. Come, sit and feel the difference. It’s in the premium
materials we use throughout the cabin, and the expert care with which
they are crafted. The surfaces of the comfortable, ergonomically designed
seats are wrapped in supple yet durable Dakota Leather. The steering
wheel and shift lever are covered in hand-stitched leather, ready for action
with a racing-inspired feel. Instrument rings, interior door handles and
more are finished in a pearl-gray brushed metal with a satiny feel. All other
surfaces are invitingly soft, yet firm, to the touch. Please visit your BMW
center for a test touch.
