![]() Eight Cylinder EnginesPassion meets intelligence. The BMW eight-cylinder engines impress with high performance and spontaneous power delivery; and all this with low weight, fuel efficiency and unparalleled smooth running. |
||
![]() Electric Power SteeringElectric Power Steering is a technology from BMW EfficientDynamics. It enables precise and comfortable control of the vehicle in every situation and helps to noticeably reduce fuel consumption. |
||
![]() Electromechanical Parking BrakeStarting off on a slope, in stop-and-go traffic or whenever the engine is turned off: the Electromechanical Parking Brake ensures your BMW stays comfortably and reliably at a standstill whenever required. |
||
![]() Electronic Damper ControlElectronic Damper Control (EDC) automatically or manually adjusts each damper to suit the driving conditions meaning you enjoy outstanding comfort along with the best in BMW on-road safety. EDC reduces variations in wheel load, ensures tyres have excellent traction and counteracts bodyshell movement regardless of the weight your automobile may be carrying or the state of the road's surface. |
||
![]() Electronic ImmobiliserBetter protection against theft: the electronic immobiliser prevents unauthorized entry into your BMW and prevents it being started, unless your correct individual key code is properly provided. Whenever the ignition is switched on, the immobiliser first reads the personal code and then asks for the changing code. If both answers are correct, the immobiliser will send another coded signal to the Digital Motor Electronics (DME) to unlock the engine. Without which the engine cannot be started - not even by short-circuiting it. This data is transmitted wirelessly via an aerial in the steering wheel lock and the key with integrated remote control. The key is equipped with a maintenance-free battery which recharges automatically while driving. And should you ever lose your key, you can have it deactivated by your authorised BMW dealer and receive a replacement key without delay. |
||
![]() Electronic Seat Adjustment MemoryFeel at home instantly: the memory function of the electronically-adjustable driver's seat enables you to save your settings for the position of the seat, backrest, steering column and exterior mirrors, and return them to your preferred positions by pressing a button. The memory function also enables you to save different settings for different types of driving - city driving or freeway driving, for example. On some BMW models, the seat memory setting can be changed while driving. |
||
![]() Electronic Throttle Butterfly ControlHigh-precision power control - the electronic throttle butterfly control system ensures precise control of engine output by converting the movement of the accelerator pedal to a digital signal that is sent to the engine management system. This results in smoother, steadier power delivery, plus lower emissions and improved fuel efficiency. The system requires a mere 120 milliseconds to fully open the throttle butterflies, about the same time it takes a skilled driver to fully apply the accelerator pedal. This allows the driver to apply engine power with greater precision and ensures particularly smooth, shudder-free motoring, above all at low engine speeds. Optimally-timed ignition and valve opening, the ideal throttle butterfly position and volume of injected fuel also serves to optimise consumption and emissions control. A further important point is that electronic throttle butterfly control enhances driving safety by automatically applying a program in the event of a dangerous mechanical defect, such as the throttle butterflies inadvertently being placed in the full load setting. In addition, the driver can, at the press of a button, activate an extra sports setting of the electronic throttle butterfly control system. |
