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 and the BMW 2 Series Gran 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 - 10.9 l/100 km (WLTP), 11.3 - 11. 1 l/100 km
(NEDC); combined CO2 emissions: 257 - 248 g/km (WLTP), 258 - 253 g/km (NEDC).
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), 5.7 - 5.3 l/100 km (NEDC); combined CO2
emissions: 164 - 150 g/km (WLTP), 149 - 140 g/km (NEDC), 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: 5.9 – 5.2 l/100 km (WLTP), 5.1 - 4.8 l/100 km (NEDC); combined CO2 emissions: 155 - 137 g/km (WLTP), 134 - 126 g/km (NEDC) 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. The extended BMW Individual Merino leather upholstery or the BMW Individual Merino full leather upholstery will be available in six or four colour variants respectively to ensure exclusive flair in the interior.
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.
The added traction, driving stability and
sportiness associated with intelligent all-wheel drive can be
experienced in a further model variant of the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé
from March 2021. The new BMW 220i xDrive Gran Coupé (combined fuel
consumption: 7.3 - 6.5 l/100 km (WLTP), 6.4 - 6.1 l/100 km (NEDC);
combined CO2 emissions: 165 - 149 g/km (WLTP, 147 - 139 g/km (NEDC),
generates 131 kW/178 hp from a 4-cylinder petrol engine, the power
being distributed between the front and rear wheels as required. The
7-speed Steptronic transmission with double clutch is in charge of
power transmission. With this drive technology, the new BMW 220i
xDrive Gran Coupé accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 7.1 seconds.
The range of optional extras for the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé will be supplemented by additional light-alloy wheels in spring 2021. 18-inch M light-alloy wheels in Y-spoke design and bicolour finish are new to the range.
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.
Pure race-track feeling: M Carbon bucket seats in the BMW
M8.
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 M Carbon bucket seats for the driver and front passenger are electrically adjustable for height, tilt and forward/back positioning. In addition, the inclination and width of their backrests can be adjusted at the touch of a button. They feature leather and alcantara seat surfaces and are also heated. Illuminated "M8" lettering on the headrests and a memory function on the driver's side are also part of the equipment package of the M Carbon bucket seats. Their lightweight construction concept leads to a significant weight reduction compared to the standard M sports seats.
Exclusive special equipment for other BMW M
automobiles.
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.
New addition to the range of digital services: BMW News
app.
The BMW Operating System 7, which is available in
conjunction with BMW Live Cockpit, BMW Live Cockpit Plus or BMW Live
Cockpit Professional 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.
