Carbon sheets are delivered on rollers and layered one atop the other (right). Robots transport the pre-formed roof (far right) to the large press for injection of the resin (below). T H E E D G E O F L I G H T: A N A D VA N C E D N E W LIGHT WEIGHT CARBON FIBER ROOF GIVES THE BMW M COUPE AN ATHLETIC ADVANTAGE. Black material: optimizing lightweight construction in all the right places. A -ton steel press dominates the floor of the BMW Landshut works. This colossus conceals one of the best-kept secrets in the automotive industry: the highly automated production of carbon components – in this case, the roof of the BMW M Coupe. Carbon is a key technology in the future of lightweight engineering. A resin-coated carbon weave, made of microscopic carbon fibers, is half the weight of steel. Using it to lighten the highest part of the M Coupe – the roof – lowers the center of gravity and enhances driving dynamics. As a result, the BMW M can corner with greater speed and precision. The huge press at the heart of the Landshut production facility houses the central process: high-pressure injection of epoxy resin into the pre-formed roof, with its millions of carbon fiber filaments. For the roof to achieve a flawless surface and extraordinary resilience, the liquid resin must flow with absolute precision around every single fiber, down to the last micrometer. But before undergoing this critical process, the roof must first pass through other important steps in the workshop. The raw material, delivered in large bales, is automatically unrolled, stacked five layers deep, and cut to size. According to the load requirements of the component being formed, the fibers of the individual woven layers run lengthwise, laterally or diagonally. The top layer serves as a visible endpoint. The roof is pre-formed in a heated press, with the help of a fast-melting powder. This keeps the fabric layers from slipping, allowing the roof to achieve the correct curvature. In the next stage, the pre-formed roof is combined with the resin in the large press described above. The stacked carbon roofs are then put into a large oven for further hardening. After four hours at  degrees Fahrenheit, the roofs are ready for final processing. The carbon surface is given a transparent layer of varnish to protect against ultraviolet light. Finally, the roofs are packed for transport to the nearby Dingolfing plant. There they are glued into the painted bodyshells of the BMW M. The large number of carbon roofs in production is a testament to the handling skills of the Landshut professionals. Thanks to their expertise, BMW is positioned to manufacture entire body shells from carbon – one of the most important vehicle manufacturing materials of the future. IMAGINATIVE PATHWAYS TO M POWER AND EFFICIENCY. Typical of BMW M vehicles are engines that deliver optimal power with minimal fuel consumption. With a -horsepower engine, this is no mean feat. To achieve this, the M TwinPower Turbo V- in the BMW M Coupe and Convertible applies advanced technologies. First is our patented exhaust delivery to the turbocharger, described below, coupled with our proven intelligent intake control technologies. Double-VANOS continuously variable camshaft timing and High Precision Direct Injection play in concert with Valvetronic individual intake valve control that eliminates the need for a less-efficient throttle plate. The result is another M characteristic: linear delivery of a massive  lb-ft of torque over an exceptionally broad rpm range, from idle to high revs. This results in - mph acceleration of . seconds for the Coupe and . seconds for the Convertible. Naturally, the by-product of power is heat. So we’ve added two large intercoolers to cool the engine, intake air, and even engine electronics. Next we added BMW EfficientDynamics technologies. The energy-saving Auto Start-Stop function turns off the engine while stopped and restarts it automatically when you take your foot off the brake. Brake Energy Regeneration recovers energy output from the car’s braking and then recycles it to help power the vehicle. The result is exceptionally good highway fuel mileage for an ultra-high-power car – nearly one-third less fuel consumption than its predecessor. And the potent sound emanating from the exhaust pipes is seductive to any driving enthusiast. Channeling this extraordinary power for maximum efficiency and driving fun is the racing-derived -speed M Double Clutch Transmission (M DCT) with Drivelogic. This dynamic transmission can be personalized to match a wide range of preferences, from comfort to extreme sport, and operated in either fully automatic or automated manual mode. Shift like a Grand Prix driver by flicking paddles just behind the steering wheel. Experience Launch Control, which provides the BMW M with just the right amount of power to the rear wheels for the best acceleration from a standing start to top speed. What you get is the power to apply power like never before.   BMW AG test results with M Double Clutch Transmission. BMW urges you to obey all posted speed laws and always wear safety belts. Based on EPA-estimated figures. M TwinScroll turbocharging for faster throttle response. Turbochargers recycle exhaust pressure to drive a turbine that feeds high pressure air to the engine. It’s a clever and effective technology with one drawback: it takes time under acceleration to build exhaust pressure to spin the turbo. BMW M TwinScroll Turbo technology slashes this “turbo lag” by timing the exhaust pulses. Exhaust flows into the turbos from each of two cylinder paths with a -degree firing interval. This minimizes interference between exhaust pulses, optimizing energy transfer. What you feel is incredibly crisp throttle response. 24 25 Engine and transmission M COMPETITION PACKAGE: THE FEEL OF RACING POWER. The characteristics of the Dynamic Damper Control system have been adapted to handle the increased dynamics, with M Dynamic Mode (MDM) settings further defined. Steering is even more direct while providing authentic feedback from the road; the steering ratio, revised by  percent, ensures exceptionally sharp response to every movement The potent output of the M TwinPower Turbo V- engine has been increased to  hp for the ultimate adrenaline kick – and, in the M Coupe, of the wheel.

OR JUST AROUND THE CORNER. The BMW M Coupe and Convertible don’t conform to traditional rules. Instead, they are born of the free-spirited and innovative engineering philosophy of BMW M. This ensures a driving experience that can be configured for the track or even an easy drive to the supermarket. The precision-built M high-performance chassis you see on the facing page has been redeveloped from scratch and tuned to perfection on the famous and demanding Northern Loop of Germany’s Nürburgring, the Nordschleife. You begin to experience the effect of M when you settle into the cockpit and see the M Drive buttons on the steering wheel. These buttons connect you to pre-programmed configurations for either a sporty or a comfortable drive. One of these is M Dynamic Mode, which helps you push the performance envelope of the M by raising the threshold of when Dynamic Stability Control intervenes. This works in concert with the Active M Differential that improves traction on even the most demanding corners. Result? You can explore the limits with more confidence. Also adding to your enjoyment is Dynamic Damper Control. This feature allows you to adjust the shock absorbers to your preference in one of three modes: COMFORT, SPORT, and SPORT+. It’s one more way the racing souls of BMW M engineers put a smile on your face with every drive.

BMW is a strong proponent of the environment and social responsibility. We launched BMW EfficientDynamics back in 2000 – the philosophy of providing greater power with increased efficiency and fewer emissions. This has resulted in significant benefits today – for our customers, the climate and the environment. That year, ecological sustainability was also declared one of BMW’s core strategic principles; it is now firmly anchored in our entire production chain. It starts with the development of fuel-saving and alternative vehicle concepts, continues with environmentally friendly production processes, and ends with innovative recycling methods. This effort has been recognized worldwide; in 1999, BMW AG – the parent company of BMW of North America and BMW Manufacturing Co. in Spartanburg, SC – was the first automotive company to be represented on the Dow Jones Sustainability Group Index. It has remained on the Index ever since; moreover, since 2005, BMW has been voted the world’s most sustainable automobile manufacturer. At BMW, we strive for and achieve high performance in all we do. BMW M recommends 4 11 015 290 25 2 2013 BB. Printed in Germany 2014. The Ultimate Driving Machine®
