Some people are instantly likeable. Theyre easy to get to know, you
feel theyre really on your wavelength, and after theyre gone you cant
wait to see them again. And its this kind of adaptable charisma that
continually wins the new BMW X new friends.
It appeals equally to the heart and the head. Partly at least because of
its outstanding efciency: although their performance is improved,
BMW engines consume less fuel than ever and boast extra-low
emissions values. And aesthetically too it stands out from the crowd,
with an elegant chassis, high-quality interior craftsmanship and a
harmonious overall ambience. In essence, the new BMW X is just as
multifaceted as the people who drive it.
Those of a sporting nature, for example, will appreciate the generous
interior, which can be transformed in many ways to accommodate any
amount of sporting equipment, while connoisseurs will be delighted
by its exceptional comfort and all the extras that give life that extra
savour. Families will appreciate the comprehensive package of safety
technologies. Simply turn the page to start exploring the world of the

versatility of the new BMW X. Get to know the newest member of the X range family and nd
out why its the perfect car for you.
GREAT DESIGN IS CAPTIVATING AND
LIBERATING.
Which is the more fascinating an artwork whose every stroke embodies grace and elegance, or a technically perfect entity, powerful and
enthralling in its sheer functionality? Its a question answered by the BMWX in its own unique way. Its athletic front end and striking kidney
grille create a commanding appearance, while elegantly flowing lines along the side of the vehicle compliment a particularly dynamic driving
experience. Striking Xenon headlights with integrated LED daytime running light rings are optionally available and are guaranteed to light up
more than just the road ahead. But most of all its the interplay of form and function that makes it an unmistakable example of fine engineering.

THE NEW BMW X.
FORGE AHEAD.
The new BMWX wasnt designed to just drive. It was designed to live the road, to
feel every single bend and master every terrain. Numerous technologies assist the
driver, such as the optional variable sports steering and standard BMWxDrive, the
four-wheel drive system that transfers the requisite engine power to the front and
rear axles in a fraction of a second. Road holding on all surfaces is noticeably
improved and youll enjoy an even safer and more comfortable ride. The new BMW
X is clearly raring to go wherever you want to take it.

BMW EFFICIENT DYNAMICS.
SUSTAINABILITY AS
STANDARD.
Many companies can make a car. But only BMW is capable of turning a minimal amount of
energy into a maximum amount of joy. Thats exactly what BMW EfficientDynamics stands
for. Technologies that deliver enhanced performance right alongside reduced fuel
consumption and emissions, thus not only conserving precious resources but also boosting
your driving pleasure in the new BMW X.

FOR STARTERS
BMW EFFICIENT DYNAMICS.
In nature there are no compromises. Every organism is
adapted to its environment and as efficient as possible.
A good landscape architect can follow this example,
and can develop solutions and concepts in harmony
with this principle.
At BMW, weve given this approach a name:
BMW EfficientDynamics. The multi-award-winning
technology package has everything you need to fully
enjoy your new BMW X sustainably. The new eight-
speed Steptronic automatic transmission is just one of
these innovations. With its adaptive gear shift system
the transmission can adjust to suit the drivers
individual driving style, thus maintaining an optimal
engine speed at all times. And for the first time in the
BMW X this is now combined with the Auto Start/Stop
function which switches off the engine when the
vehicle comes to a temporary standstill (e.g. at traffic
lights), to further reduce overall fuel consumption.
Brake Energy Regeneration uses the kinetic energy
generated during braking to recharge the battery. The
electrical energy produced can then be used to power
comfort features and other vehicle functions.
Meticulously calibrated technologies such as
Valvetronic, electronic power steering and enhanced
aerodynamics contribute to a reduction in fuel
consumption and simultaneously increase
performance. With BMW EfficientDynamics and the
new BMW X you can experience the technologies of
tomorrow, today.


BMW EfficientDynamics
Less emissions. More driving pleasure.
TECHNOLOGY, NOT MAGIC.
Rewriting the laws of physics may seem like magic. For BMW engineers, its simply the result of their
newest innovations. Like for example the optional Performance Control: a BMW technology that
distributes the optimal amount of torque to each rear wheel through targeted interventions into the
engine and brake management, to achieve even greater driving dynamics. Or the optionally available
Dynamic Damper Control: the dampers emit electronic data four hundred times a second so that the
suspension is always exactly tuned to suit the current driving conditions. This technology enables the
driver to choose between a normal, sporty or particularly dynamic ride (Sport Plus) via the Driving
Dynamics Control button and enjoy navigating even the most unfavourable roads.

A REAL TEAM PLAYER.
Great teams work like clockwork. Just like the new BMW X, where every element
links up to form a harmonious whole. The typical BMW X rear light design including
light strips (in conjunction with Xenon headlights) is perfectly integrated into the
tailgate of the largest luggage compartment in its class and adds to the elegant
overall appearance of the new BMW X. The deep-set windows and raised seating
afford even rear passengers a commanding view. The rear seat backrests fold down
in a : : split, for even greater variability.
JOY IS BEING PREPARED
FOR ANYTHING AND
ALWAYS HAVING YOUR
EYE ON THE BALL.
A SELF-ASSURED APPEARANCE
ELEGANTLY DESIGNED.
All BMW Xmodels unite durable agility and elegance. The BMW X is no exception. This stunning vehicles new look
was designed by Erik Goplen, automotive designer at BMW Group Designworks USA in California.
Mr Goplen, for the last three years you
have worked on the exterior design of the
new BMW X now we can all see the
fruits of your labour. What kind of
impression do you hope to make with this
design?
We had two main aims: the new BMW X
needed to be instantly recognisable, rstly as a
member of the BMW Xfamily and secondly, as
the successor of the previous BMW X. Every
BMW X vehicle represents powerful agility and a
very sturdy presence on the road. We generate
this impression through the use of typical X
proportions like the upright kidney grilles,
shortened bonnet and steeply slanted rear
window. We also wanted to make the BMW X
appear more adult, more mature.
In demand 18 19
What tells the observer that theyre
looking at the new BMW X?
First of all, the size. Then of course the typical
BMW X characteristics, as well as similarities
the new BMW X shares with its predecessor.
The classic three-eyed face of the BMW X
family is very distinctive the double round
headlights and the fog lights, which are
situated particularly high up and towards the
edges of the vehicles front end. From the side,
you can see that the Hofmeister kink is
positioned higher than it is on other models,
which lends the windows a special X aesthetic.
The rear lights are still T-shaped, and together
with the optional Xenon headlights theyre very
much in keeping with classic BMW style.
BMWs are famous for their carefully
crafted details. Which parts are you
particularly fond of?
Oh, there are so many. One particularly striking
design element of the new BMW X is its clear
side contours, which curve upwards sharply
after the front wheel arch and carry on through
to the rear lights. An additional contour runs
along the rear wheel arch to further emphasise
the vehicles powerful agility. Details such as the
side indicators have also been rened in this
case through integration in specially moulded
casings.
I found the unusual contours on the
bonnet particularly eye-catching. Whats
your take on it?
Yes, the bonnet is a real work of art, as far as
modern metal working techniques are
concerned. It makes a really strong statement,
you could just about hang it on your wall at
home! The strongly dened lines really bring out
the sporty and robust appearance of the front
end theyre a distinguishing feature of all BMW
X vehicles.
What other distinguishing BMW features
does the new BMW X have?
Well, take for example the typical double round
headlights. They feature a clear and simplied
design and are topped off by distinctive
chrome-coloured eyebrows. They give the
vehicle a more determined look. Plus of course
there are the classic convex-concave surfaces
which create a shimmering interplay between
light and shadow.

Vision becomes reality: BMWVision EfcientDynamics. In BMWplans to present a + sports
car made in Germany that will feature ground-breaking plug-in-hybrid technology combining sports-car
performance with compact-class consumption. Highlighting BMWs position as the worlds leading
manufacturer of exceptionally sporty yet incomparably efcient vehicles. The BMWVision EfcientDynamics
test model has a latest-generation fully hybrid system with an output of kW. A three-cylinder turbo diesel
( kW, Nm torque) as well as a hybrid synchronous engine on the front axle ( Nm), and fully hybrid
drive system on the rear axle ( Nm), give the vehicle a range of up to kilometres This sports cars
dynamism to fuel consumption is quite simply without equal.
www.bmw.com/EfcientDynamics
BMW was one of the rst manufacturers to pursue the goal of efcient driving technologies, as part of our
multiple award-winning sustainability strategy. BMW EfcientDynamics represents the most comprehensive
package of innovative technologies for reducing fuel consumption and emissions while simultaneously
increasing driving dynamics that is currently in standard production. With it, BMW has been able to reduce
the CO

emissions of its entire eet by approximately percent since . models produce less than
g of CO

per kilometre, and BMW has already rolled out more than two million vehicles equipped with
EfcientDynamics. BMW intends to achieve a further % reduction by .

Auto Start/Stop function (for eight-speed automatic transmission
Steptronic). The Auto Start/Stop function switches off the engine when
the vehicle comes to a temporary standstill (e.g. at trafc lights) to further
reduce overall fuel consumption. A signal (Start Stop) in the display indicates
that the function is active. For the rst time in its class, the Auto Start/Stop
function is now available for an automatic transmissions.
Eight-speed automatic transmission Steptronic. The particularly
smooth gear shifts of the new eight-speed automatic transmission
produce greater engine efciency at every speed. The result: a reduction
in fuel consumption and more comfortable gear changes. The new eight-
speed automatic transmission is one of the rst to be combined with the
Auto Start/Stop function.
In short: a supremely comfortable drive underscored by signicantly
reduced fuel consumption and emissions.
Direct fuel injection. In a BMW, the injectors are located directly above
the spark plugs. They inject fuel with extreme precision and pressure to
ensure particularly efcient combustion.
Electric Power Steering. In comparison with conventional, hydraulic
steering systems, the electric power steering support only uses energy
during actual steering. When driving straight ahead the electronic motor
is inactive.


Brake Energy Regeneration. Brake Energy Regeneration means that
the generator (alternator) usually only generates electricity when the driver
takes their foot off either the accelerator or brakes previously unused
kinetic energy is transformed in coasting mode into electrical energy
before being fed into the battery.
BMW EFFICIENT DYNAMICS
TAKES SO LITTLE, YET GIVES SO MUCH.
Different paths to the same destination: unmistakable BMW driving pleasure. Under the auspices of the BMW EfcientDynamics project, BMW is
continuously developing innovative systems that will bring us nearer to the goal of emission-free mobility in the long term. Driving pleasure has not,
of course, been forgotten. Its being pursued in four different ways at once. The optimisation of models with conventional diesel and petrol engines
continues apace. Meanwhile the BMW Hydrogen has impressively demonstrated just how much potential there is in the combination of a
hydrogen drive and combustion engine. In early BMW launched its rst production models with hybrid drive: the BMW ActiveHybrid and the
BMW ActiveHybrid X. Both models offer exemplary efciency and dynamism to an unequalled degree. Based on the BMW Concept ActiveE with
its innovative % electric drive system, a whole new form of dynamism is set to be launched in spring a model that will pave the way for
the emission-free mobility of the future. And nally, a completely new vehicle concept targeted at meeting the need for sustainable mobility in fast-
growing urban societies could soon become reality in the shape of the Megacity Vehicle (MCV), specially developed as part of project i.

I STAY COOL, NO MATTER WHAT
COMES MY WAY.
Unadulterated joy is being able to drive along the most challenging roads without compromising on safety. In
the new BMWX, this is made possible largely by innovative suspension technologies. At BMW, weve given
our all so that you can enjoy even the most dynamic drives in comfort.
THE FEELING YOU GET DRIVING THE NEW BMW X IS
INDESCRIBABLE. READ ON TO FIND OUT HOW ITS
PRODUCED.
A weight distribution of nearly : between the front and rear axles keeps the new BMW X right on track. Its neutral self-steering properties,
directional stability and excellent traction culminate in a driving experience of unparalleled intensity. In addition, its new five-arm rear axle further
improves the responsiveness of the dampers to provide a supremely comfortable ride. And thats not all
xDrive. Slippery leaves on wet roads, snow and ice regardless of the
road surface quality, the intelligent xDrive four-wheel drive system and
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) ensure that your BMW always delivers
directional stability and outstanding traction. Using data such as the
steering angle or wheel rotation speeds, xDrive reacts immediately upon
detecting a tendency to over- or understeer, and employs an electronically
controlled multi-plate clutch to exibly distribute drive power between
the axles in only fractions of a second, ensuring optimum road adhesion.
Driving Dynamics Control. The new BMW X can full your every
wish at the push of a button. Choose between the settings Normal, Sport
and Sport Plus to change the responsiveness of the accelerator and the
power steering, for example (available in conjunction with variable sports
steering, Dynamic Damper Control or eight-speed sports automatic
transmission Steptronic).
Variable sports steering. The steering ratio is constantly adjusted
depending on the steering movement, so you can enjoy increased agility
on winding roads, more safety at higher speeds, and great exibility when
parking. Plus with the help of Servotronic, this optional system continuously
adjusts the steering ratio and steering force to suit the driving situation.
Performance Control. This optional system works together with xDrive,
BMWs intelligent four-wheel drive system, to improve handling in bends
by dynamically intervening in specic engine and braking processes.
Performance Control optimises the management of engine power during
turns by applying the brake slightly to the inside wheel while simultaneously
increasing drive to the outside wheel. This results in increased dynamism
on winding roads and sensational traction.
Dynamic Damper Control. This optionally available system adjusts the
damper characteristics to suit the driving conditions and road quality. It
guarantees constant controllability and safety.
THE LATEST BMW TECHNOLOGIES
UNPARALLELED SAFETY.
The new BMW X surrounds you with cutting-edge technologies for every eventuality. Superb handling and intelligent, networked suspension control
systems such as DSC with the innovative xDrive four-wheel drive system are standard. Drivers benefit from the very latest technologies that provide
optimal support at all times. Youll feel safe and protected no matter where your journey takes you.
Chassis and safety 34 35
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC). Highly acute sensors constantly
assess the vehicles movements in real time and optimise directional
stability and traction, if necessary, by intervening in the engine and brake
management systems. In addition, the BMW X features the Hill-Start
assist, which acts to stop the vehicle rolling downhill for one-and-a-half
seconds after the foot brake is released. Consequently the vehicle is
easier to control in tricky situations, and thus safer and that much more
fun to drive.
Hill Descent Control (HDC) lets the new BMW X negotiate the
steepest downhill runs automatically and safely at just about walking
pace, without the driver having to brake. HDC comes standard and can
be controlled via the multifunction steering wheel.
Dynamic Traction Control (DTC). This sub-function of the Dynamic
Stability Control offers unsurpassed traction in sporty driving situations.
With one-touch activation, traction mode allows an increased amount of
controlled wheel slip, and improves acceleration on loose snow or sand
as the wheels spin lightly. DTC delays the intervention of Dynamic Stability
Control even on asphalt, so you get to enjoy controlled drifts and a more
intensive driving experience.
Adaptive headlights with variable light distribution, incl. turning
lights. These illuminate bends by optimally adjusting the swivelling headlights
as soon as the driver turns the steering wheel. The turning light in the fog
lights is automatically activated by the steering angle or when the indicator
is switched on, even when the vehicle is at a standstill.
Standard equipment Optional equipment
Airbags and the rest of the passive safety elements in your BMW all
make up one perfectly coordinated system. Six airbags are installed for
precise protection: one each for the driver and front passenger, continuous
head airbags in the front and rear, and side airbags in the front. The integrated
rollover sensor provides additional passenger protection, while the passive
bonnet improves pedestrian safety.
BMW restraint system for the driver and front passenger, comprises
-point safety belts combined with integral tensioners and force limiters
as well as active headrests. So in the event of a collision, passengers are
held safely in their seats and the risk of whiplash is reduced.
Passenger cell. The system of members and node connections in
the functionally constructed body structure combined with the strategic
deployment of high-strength materials delivers maximum passive safety
in front, side or rear impacts. Defined deformation zones mean that the
body structure can absorb impact energy, increasing passenger
protection.
Runflat tyres. Reinforced side walls prevent the tyres from completely
collapsing or loosening from the rim if the air pressure drops. The Tyre
Puncture Warning System (TPWS) notifies the driver of any tyre
problems. A minor loss in pressure is signalled by a light in the instrument
cluster, while any greater loss is additionally signalled with an acoustic
warning.
I USED TO NEVER LEAVE THE OFFICE ON TIME.
NOW THE OFFICE LEAVES WITH ME.
Im on the road all the time, either for work or with my family. So I have to be really well organised to make the
best use of my time otherwise I simply cant get round to everything. In the new BMW X I can save time
and get a lot done: from having my emails read out aloud to planning the route for my next trip.

Infotainment. The infotainment package encompasses services with a technological or media orientation such as the USB interface with
extended functionality, that supplies drivers with the same level of information and entertainment that you would find at home or in the office.
Head-Up Display. The Head-Up Display is optionally available, to help
you keep your eye on the surrounding trafc. Relevant driving information
is projected directly in the drivers eld of vision via a multi-coloured TFT
display, showing you for example the vehicles speed or navigational
directions.
High-beam assist. Avoid dazzling other road users the optional high-
beam assistant detects sources of light in the vehicles vicinity and
switches between high and low beam as trafc allows. When the system
is active an image sensor behind the rear-view mirror monitors trafc and
light conditions. The function then uses these sensor images to decide
whether or not the high-beam lights can be switched on. The high-beam
is switched to low anytime trafc is detected ahead, and when ambient
light is sufcient.
Safety. These BMW ConnectedDrive services are safety technologies that make a significant contribution to reducing the risks that road traffic
poses to BMW drivers and their passengers such as the Head-Up Display.
Eight-speed automatic transmission Steptronic 40 41
AN INGENIOUS
COMBINATION.
Engineer Jan Kretschmer
has been head of BMWs
automatic transmission
department since 2008.
He started at BMW back
in 1994 and has been
responsible for projects
such as the Sequential
Manual Gearbox (SMG).
Seldom has a new transmission received
such high praise as the new BMW eight-
speed automatic transmission Steptronic.
A thoroughly radical concept delivers a
new dimension of comfort and efciency.
In the new BMW X this innovative
transmission even includes the Auto
Start/Stop function.
About four years ago, a group of BMWengineers
achieved a major breakthrough with an ingenious
number combination. They worked out the one
optimal conguration out of ten million possible
variations. Each new BMW X with the new
eight-speed automatic transmission benets
from their discovery. Globally, the transmission
will save fuel thanks to a whole new level of
efciency. For the rst time, the BMW X with
automatic transmission now consumes the
same or even less fuel than the equivalent
model with a manual transmission regardless
of the engine type. Jan Kretschmer heads
up BMWs development team for automatic
transmissions and is of course intimately familiar
with the magic combination: It is the only
possible conguration of four gear sets and ve
shift elements for an eight-speed transmission
with this high degree of efciency.
Revolution not evolution: in planning and
developing this transmission our engineers were
given more scope to bring in new ideas at every
stage than ever before. Where once there was
only a blank page, now there is a superlative
gear train in shining metal. Planetary gears and
shift elements are packed together as in the
most intricate clockwork. But although it has
a higher number of gears and a host of new
functions, this new transmission does not take
up any more room than preceding models.
And although it is tougher, it is not heavier. For
drivers, the most signicant new feature is the
addition of the Auto Start/Stop function. The
engine switches off the moment it has braked
to a standstill (or when the Auto Hold function is
activated) and stays off, as long as the drivers
foot is still on the pedal. As soon as the driver
releases the brake, the engine immediately
restarts and they can continue driving. Nothing
remarkable for drivers, but for engineers this is a
complicated development task. In order to start
up fast, the transmission needs sufcient oil
pressure which in turn is usually generated
by the running of the engine. So for the Auto
Start/Stop function, the engineers equipped
the transmission with a compact pressure
accumulator. The power stored there rapidly
connects or separates the clutch plates needed
for the car to start up. Its a clever development
for maximum efciency: in conjunction with the
transmissions high degree of efciency and
broad spread of transmission ratios, the Auto
Start/Stop function saves around seven to eight
percent fuel. But the new eight-speed automatic
is not only more efcient than other transmissions
in its class one of its main characteristics is
the almost unsurpassable level of comfort it
provides. All new BMW X models are equipped
with the same automatic transmission that can
be found in the BMW Series Saloon, albeit
with slightly different dimensions.
Gear shifts in the new BMW X are incredibly
soft and discreet. Just as any experienced driver
would, the transmission stays in a low gear
ahead of bends so as to best accelerate out
of them. And on long downhill stretches, gears
are carefully changed down so as to make use
of the engines braking force. These sorts of
capabilities result from the work put in by Jan
Kretschmer and his team. Using the vehicle
sensors, they analysed every on-road set of
circumstances and dened the appropriate
gear, an exacting process of calibration that
the BMW engineers have carried out for each
new BMW X engine version individually.
Comfortable and efcient, the new eight-speed
automatic transmission is also exceptionally
dynamic. When needed it can switch gears
faster than a racing driver does, and can jump
right over as many gears as necessary. It can
even switch directly from eighth right down
to second gear. This level of precision and
efciency is the constant companion of
everyone who drives the new BMW X.
