Update for French market.
Munich. The market launch of the BMW M5 CS is the
absolute highlight among the innovations that will enrich the BMW
model range in spring 2021. The first special model based on the BMW
M5 Competition takes on the top position in the BMW M GmbH range in
terms of engine power, performance and exclusivity, underlining the
brand's close ties with racing. Model diversity in the premium segment
of the compact and mid-size class will be expanded from March 2021
with additional drive variants for the BMW 4 Series Coupé. What is
more, attractive additions to the standard or optionally available
equipment in numerous BMW model series enhance driving pleasure,
comfort, individuality and safety.
A feature previously only available for high-performance BMW M
GmbH automobiles will also be featured on the most powerful variants
of the BMW 3 Series Sedan and BMW 4 Series Coupé from March 2021. For
the first time, an M carbon fibre roof will be offered for the top
models of both model series. Exclusive lightweight components also
optimise the driving experience in the BMW M8. Newly developed M
Carbon bucket seats will be available as an optional extra for the
three high-performance models in the luxury segment from March 2021.
The luxury sedans of the BMW 7 Series will be equipped with Integral
Active Steering as standard. In addition, a nanoparticle filter will
now be a new component of the standard or optional 4-zone automatic
air conditioning in the BMW 7 Series and BMW 8 Series as well as in
the BMW X5, BMW X6 and BMW X7 models. BMW Individual Shadow Line
lights complement the equipment range for the BMW X5 and BMW X6. The
BMW News app will be added to the range of digital services for
selected BMW models from April 2021.
High-performance sedan with exclusive racing characteristics:
The BMW M5 CS.
Following the BMW M3 CS, the BMW M4 CS and the BMW M2 CS, a
special model of the BMW M5 will be launched for the first time in
March 2021. The most powerful and exclusive version of the
high-performance sedan bears the name BMW M5 CS (combined fuel
consumption: 11.3 - 11.3 l/100 km (WLTP), combined CO2 emissions: 256
- 256 g/km (WLTP).The special model is powered by the most powerful
engine ever to be used in a BMW M GmbH production vehicle. The V8
engine with BMW M TwinPower Turbo technology generates a maximum
output of 467 kW/635 hp and is thus 7 kW/10 hp more powerful than the
drive unit in the BMW M5 Competition. Weighing in with 70 kilograms
less weight, the BMW M5 CS completes the sprint from a standstill to
100 km/h in 3.0 seconds, beating the BMW M5 Competition by 0.3
seconds. The racetrack potential of the BMW M5 CS also goes hand in
hand with unrestricted suitability for everyday use. In addition to
design elements for the exterior in Gold Bronze, standard equipment
also features M Carbon seats for the driver and front passenger. In
the rear of the BMW M5 CS, two passengers can be seated on individual
seats and enjoy the outstanding driving experience.
New in the BMW 4 Series: Inline 6-cylinder diesel engines and
exclusive optional extras.
The sporty character of the new BMW 4 Series Coupé will be
underlined by an additional BMW M automobile and a further model
variant with a particularly powerful engine from March 2021. In both
cases, an inline 6-cylinder diesel engine and intelligent all-wheel
drive provide efficient driving pleasure. The new BMW M440d xDrive
Coupé (combined fuel consumption: 6.3 – 5.7 l/100 km (WLTP); combined
CO2 emissions: 164 - 150 g/km (WLTP), with its 250 kW/340 hp drive
featuring BMW M TwinPower Turbo technology is also combined with an
8-speed Steptronic Sport transmission, an M sports package and an M
sports differential. Thanks to the outstanding performance of the
3.0-litre engine and its maximum torque of 700 Nm, the new BMW M440d
xDrive Coupé accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds. With a
maximum output of 210 kW/286 hp generated from a 3.0 litres of
capacity and a maximum torque of 650 Nm, the powerplant of the new BMW
430d xDrive Coupé (combined fuel consumption: 5.7 – 5.2 l/100 km
(WLTP); combined CO2 emissions: 149 - 137 g/km (WLTP), also enables
dynamic acceleration manoeuvres. It takes just 5.1 seconds to
accelerate from a standstill to 100 km/h. In both inline 6-cylinder
diesel models, mild hybrid technology with a 48-volt starter generator
provides a further increase in dynamics and efficiency. The system
enables particularly intensive energy recovery in braking and thrust
phases. The energy is stored in a 48-volt battery and used both for
the onboard network and to generate additional drive power. The
dynamic power delivery when starting off and accelerating is enhanced
by the additional power of 8 kW/11 hp spontaneously provided by the
48-volt starter generator. In other load ranges the electric drive can
relieve the combustion engine and thus increase its efficiency. For
both the new BMW 4 Series Coupé and the new BMW 4 Series Convertible,
the BMW Individual Brilliant White metallic, BMW Individual Frozen
Portimao Blue metallic and BMW Individual Frozen Deep Grey metallic
exterior paint finishes will also be available from March 2021.
Dynamic charisma increased, centre of gravity lowered: M
Carbon roof in the BMW 3 Series and BMW 4 Series.
The new BMW M440d xDrive Coupé, just like the BMW M440i xDrive
Coupé and the two corresponding top models of the BMW 3 Series Sedan,
will add further touches of sporty flair by means of an exclusive
lightweight construction feature. The M Carbon roof, available for
these four models from March 2021, emphasises dynamic charisma and at
the same time lowers the vehicle's centre of gravity further to make
it even more agile. In future, the new interior trims will be
available in the M Carbon Fibre version to match. They will also be
available for the BMW M440i xDrive Convertible and for all other model
variants of the new BMW 3 Series and BMW 4 Series, in each case in
conjunction with the M Sport Model equipment.
Additional all-wheel drive model variant for the BMW 2 Series
Gran Coupé.
Not sold in France.
BMW 7 Series now features Integral Active Steering as
standard. The superior ride comfort, cornering dynamics and
agility of the BMW 7 Series luxury sedans will be enhanced from March
2021 with the help of Integral Active Steering as standard. This
system optimises both agility and superior handling at higher speeds
as well as comfort when manoeuvring through precisely controlled
steering of the rear wheels. The latest version of the Integral Active
Steering system triggers counter-steering of the rear wheels even at a
particularly low speed of less than 3 km/h. This further enhances the
manoeuvrability of the luxury sedans when parking and backing out, as
well as when passing slowly through narrow spaces.
Nanoparticle filter as a new component of the 4-zone automatic
air conditioning.
In many current BMW models, a nanoparticle filter will be part
of the range of functions of the 4-zone automatic air conditioning.
The system, which is unique in the competitive environment, is able to
remove tiny impurities from the air flowing into the interior. The
4-zone automatic air conditioning with nanoparticle filter is part of
the standard equipment in the BMW X7 and is offered as an option for
the BMW 7 Series luxury sedans, the BMW 8 Series luxury sports cars
and the BMW X5 and BMW X6 models.
BMW Individual Shadow Line lights for the BMW X5 and BMW X6.
The range of optional equipment for the BMW X5 and BMW X6 models
is supplemented by the BMW Individual Shadow Line lights. They are
available in conjunction with the optional BMW laser light and feature
black inlays on the upper edge of the headlights ensuring a
particularly expressive front view.
A particularly attractive addition to the range of optional extras for the BMW M8 models allows customers to experience the fascinating performance characteristics of the high-performance sports cars even more intensively. M Carbon bucket seats will be available for the BMW M8 Competition Coupé, the BMW M8 Competition Convertible and the BMW M8 Competition Gran Coupé from March 2021. With their novel, structure-based design, visible carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) surfaces, integrated headrests, openings in the backrests and side sections as well as guides for multi-point seat belts, they combine racing functionality with long-distance comfort and luxurious quality of workmanship.
The range of optional extras available for numerous other BMW M automobiles will also be expanded in spring 2021. For the BMW M3 Sedan and the BMW M4 Coupé, the new Skyscraper Grey metallic exterior paint finish and the extended BMW Merino leather upholstery are available in a choice of five additional colour variants. The BMW X5 M Competition and BMW X6 M Competition models can also be equipped with BMW Individual Shadow Line lights in conjunction with the optional BMW laser light from April 2021. In addition, the optional 4-zone automatic air conditioning will also include a nanoparticle filter in the BMW M8 models.
The BMW Operating System 7, which is available in conjunction with BMW Live Cockpit, BMW Live Cockpit Navigation Plus or BMW Live Cockpit Navigation Pro in numerous current BMW models, enables the use of a growing number of digital services. The latest innovations in this area include the BMW News app, which will be available from April 2021 as part of BMW Connected and provides the driver with selected audio content. This is precisely tailored to the wishes and needs of the driver. Based on the driver’s individual interests, current online news is selected from publisher offerings and broadcast in the form of naturally spoken language via the vehicle's audio system.
