Munich. New items of optional equipment and
additional engine variants will increase the appeal and variety of the
BMW model line-up in autumn 2018. A new variant powered by a
four-cylinder diesel engine will be added to the BMW X1 and BMW X2
ranges from November 2018. And there will also be newcomers to the
drive system portfolio for the BMW X3. A large number of additional
BMW models will meet the Euro 6d-TEMP exhaust standard from autumn
2018. This means more than 190 BMW models will now conform with the
emissions regulations not due to come into force for all newly
registered cars until September 2019.
The Edition M Sport Shadow available for the BMW 1 Series range from
November 2018 exudes a particularly dynamic allure. Also in November
2018, the Advantage Plus model will be added to the BMW X2 range. The
functionality of the optional Comfort Access will be optimised for
many current BMW models. And from autumn 2018 there will be more ways
to use the BMW Digital Key. Keyless access to the car will be possible
not only using a compatible mobile phone, but also with the new Key
Card from BMW.
New model variants for the BMW X1 and BMW X2.
A
new variant with a four-cylinder diesel engine and front-wheel drive
will be added to both the BMW X1 and BMW X2 model ranges from November
2018. The new BMW X1 sDrive20d (fuel consumption combined: 4.6 l/100
km [61.4 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined: 122 g/km) and
BMW X2 sDrive20d (fuel consumption combined: 4.7 – 4.4 l/100 km [60.1
– 64.2 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined: 123 – 115 g/km) will be
powered by a 2.0-litre diesel engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo
technology, whose 140 kW/190 hp is channelled to the front wheels via
an eight-speed Steptronic transmission. Both models accelerate from 0
to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 7.9 seconds.
Added to which, from autumn 2018 the 110 kW/150 hp four-cylinder
diesel engine in the BMW X2 xDrive18d can also link up as an option
with an eight-speed Steptronic transmission. In this configuration,
the BMW X2 xDrive18d will sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in
9.4 seconds, and post combined fuel consumption of 4.9 – 4.7 litres
per 100 kilometres (57.7 – 60.1 mpg imp) and CO2 emissions of
130 – 123 grams per kilometre
More than 190 BMW models now meet the Euro 6d-TEMP exhaust standard.
Around 190 BMW models have met the requirements of the exacting
Euro 6d-TEMP exhaust standard – which comes into force for all newly
registered cars in September 2019 – since July 2018. The cars
concerned range from conventionally powered models with petrol or
diesel engines to BMW i and BMW iPerformance models and the
high-performance sports cars from BMW M GmbH. The petrol-engined
models are fitted with a gasoline particulate filter to minimise their
emissions, while exhaust gas treatment for the diesel models comprises
a diesel particulate filter, a NOx storage catalyst and an SCR
catalyst with AdBlue injection to reduce nitric oxide emissions.
In autumn 2018 the line-up of models equipped to meet the future
emissions standard will expand once again. The BMW 530d Sedan (fuel
consumption combined: 5.2 – 5.1l/100 km [54.3 – 55.4 mpg imp]; CO2
emissions combined: 138 – 134 g/km) and BMW 530d Touring (fuel
consumption combined: 5.5 – 5.3 l/100 km [51.4 – 53.3 mpg imp]; CO2
emissions combined: 144 – 140 g/km), the BMW 530d xDrive Sedan (fuel
consumption combined: 5.6 – 5.4 l/100 km [50.4 – 52.3 mpg imp]; CO2
emissions combined: 146 – 143 g/km) and BMW 530d xDrive Touring (fuel
consumption combined: 5.9 – 5.8 l/100 km [47.9 – 48.7 mpg imp]; CO2
emissions combined: 156 – 153 g/km), the BMW 540d xDrive Sedan (fuel
consumption combined: 5.7 – 5.6 l/100 km [49.6 – 50.4 mpg imp]; CO2
emissions combined: 149 – 147 g/km) and BMW 540d xDrive Touring (fuel
consumption combined: 6.0 – 5.9 l/100 km [47.1 – 47.9 mpg imp]; CO2
emissions combined: 159 – 156 g/km), the BMW M550d xDrive Sedan (fuel
consumption combined: 6.4 – 6.3 l/100 km [44.1 – 44.8 mpg imp]; CO2
emissions combined: 168 – 166 g/km) and BMW M550d xDrive Touring (fuel
consumption combined: 6.6 – 6.5 l/100 km [42.8 – 43.5 mpg imp]; CO2
emissions combined: 174 – 172 g/km) will now also meet the tougher
regulations. The BMW 630d Gran Turismo (fuel consumption combined:
5.5 – 5.3 l/100 km [51.4 – 53.3 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined:
145 – 139 g/km), the BMW 630d xDrive Gran Turismo (fuel consumption
combined: 5.9 – 5.6 l/100 km [47.9 – 50.4 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions
combined: 155 – 141 g/km) and the BMW 640d xDrive Gran Turismo (fuel
consumption combined: 6.2 – 5.9 l/100 km [45.6 – 47.9 mpg imp]; CO2
emissions combined: 162 – 157 g/km) also fulfil the Euro 6d-TEMP
emissions standard.
Flying the flag for driving pleasure: the Edition M Sport
Shadow for the BMW 1 Series range.
With their powerful engines and either the brand’s customary
rear-wheel-drive or intelligent all-wheel drive, the BMW 1 Series
models exude a level of sporting prowess unrivalled in the premium
compact segment. And the new Edition M Sport Shadow available from
November 2018 will highlight the unmistakeable driving pleasure served
up by the BMW 1 Series 3-door and BMW 1 Series 5-door to particularly
striking effect. The Edition M Sport Shadow replaces the M Sport
variant in the line-up and adds a host of new and distinctive features
to the outgoing model’s specific design and equipment items for the
interior and exterior. These include LED headlights with black
inserts, LED front foglamps, dark rear lights, a BMW kidney grille
frame in High-gloss Black and exhaust tailpipes in Black Chrome. The
Edition M Sport Shadow variant for the BMW 1 Series also includes Jet
Black 18-inch M light-alloy wheels in twin-spoke design. Inside the
car, the aura of sporting flair is accentuated by a BMW Individual
headliner in Anthracite and exclusive sports seats in textile Corner
Anthracite with grey accents.
New equipment line for the BMW X2: the Advantage Plus model.
Eye-catching individuality is a signature character trait of the BMW
X2. And the variety of equipment and appointments available for the
compact Sports Activity Coupe will expand once again in autumn 2018
with the arrival of the Advantage Plus model. The new equipment line
adds the lighting package, sports seats for the driver and front
passenger, a BMW Individual headliner in Anthracite and interior trim
strips in High-gloss Black with accent strips in Pearl-effect Chrome
to the otherwise optional automatic climate control, Cruise Control
with braking function, Park Distance Control with rear-mounted sensors
and automatic boot lid operation already offered by the Advantage
model. Meanwhile, the particularly alluring looks of the new model
variant are accentuated by Ferric Grey 18-inch light-alloy wheels in
Y-spoke design with polished finish, BMW Individual High-gloss Shadow
Line trim, LED headlights with extended features and LED front foglamps.
From November 2018, M sports seats and M seat belts will be available
as additional options for BMW X2 models specified with the M Sport or
M Sport X equipment line.
BMW Digital Key and BMW Key Card for keyless vehicle access
and engine ignition.
The BMW Digital Key available for the new BMW 8 Series Coupe and new
BMW X5 (if Comfort Access is specified) allows the car to be unlocked
and locked using the customer’s smartphone. Once inside, the engine
can be started as soon as the phone has been placed in the wireless
charging or smartphone tray. The Digital Key is available as part of
the BMW Connected app, can be shared with up to five people and can be
used with selected Near Field Communication (NFC)-compatible
smartphones. Alternatively, the new BMW Key Card will be available
from November 2018. This sophisticated key card likewise has NFC
technology and therefore offers the same functionality as a similarly
equipped smartphone. The BMW Key Card can also be passed on to the
relevant parties if the car is at the workshop, has broken down or the
customer is using a valet parking service.
* All new models available from the start of production in November
2018 / January 2019
The fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and electric power
consumption figures were determined according to the European
Regulation (EC) 715/2007 in the version applicable. The figures refer
to a vehicle with basic configuration in Germany. The range shown
considers the different sizes of the selected wheels/tyres and the
selected items of optional equipment, and may vary during configuration.
The values are already based on the new WLTP test cycle and are
translated back into NEDC-equivalent values in order to ensure
comparability between the vehicles. With respect to these vehicles,
for vehicle-related taxes or other duties based (at least inter alia)
on CO2 emissions, the CO2 values may differ from
the values stated here (depending on national legislation).
Further information on official fuel consumption figures and specific
CO2 emission values of new passenger cars is included in
the following guideline: ‘Leitfaden über den Kraftstoffverbrauch, die
CO2-Emissionen und den Stromverbrauch neuer
Personenkraftwagen’ (Guide to the fuel economy, CO2
emissions and electric power consumption of new passenger cars), which
can be obtained free of charge from all dealerships, from Deutsche
Automobil Treuhand GmbH (DAT), Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, 73760
Ostfildern-Scharnhausen and at https://www.dat.de/co2/.
