Style. Space. Surprising versatility.
Introducing the Series Gran Turismo.
It is in the imagination of BMW engineers and designers where advanced new vehicle concepts
first take shape. When they become reality, they then reshape the entire automotive industry.
Enter the Series Gran Turismo, created to address an audience seeking an entirely new kind
of vehicle – one that embodies the elegance of a sedan, the performance of a coupe, and the
versatility of a Sports Activity Vehicle.® Offering visionary driving technologies and unparalleled
levels of luxury, even storage convenience is raised to all-new levels. It’s time to reimagine firstclass travel – and the Series Gran Turismo is your vehicle of change.
Exterior
Totally different. Yet totally BMW.
As the first vehicle of its kind, the Series Gran Turismo has its share of expectations to fulfill. A classic coupe roofline and dynamic front end both
reveal its sporty personality – an attitude enhanced by the aggressive stance and large wheels. Yet unlike a sports car, the Series Gran Turismo
displays an impressive, elongated silhouette more in keeping with the finest luxury sedans. Then there is the extensive interior space and dualaccess tailgate for improved storage capabilities and easier loading. As a result, the exterior borrows from all three categories – coupe, sedan, SAV®
– yet still defies classification. All of which make the Series Gran Turismo the type of vehicle BMW has always created: an industry leader.
|
Exterior
The measure of any BMW is its ability to inspire joy – not only for drivers but for passengers, as well. In this respect, the Series Gran Turismo excels.
With an elongated platform that hearkens to BMW’s most luxurious, class-leading sedans, you’ll find no shortage of legroom throughout the cabin.
Likewise, headroom is generous, the comfort amplified by the two-piece Panoramic moonroof that opens up to offer an invigorating dose of fresh air
and sunlight while driving. And for maximum traveling flexibility, multiple rear-seat folding and sliding combinations give you new levels of convenience
when it comes to both passengers and cargo.
|
Exterior
An open invitation to escape mediocrity.
|
The exterior of the Series Gran Turismo is an outstanding interpretation of BMW styling, from its muscular contours
to the freely interpreted L-shaped rear taillight clusters. The phrase “gran turismo” denotes a high-performance vehicle
with far more interior space than a pure-bred sports car. Adhering to this concept, the Series Gran Turismo balances
its impressive performance with an emphasis on passenger comfort – especially luxurious appointments, roominess
and flexibility of space. When you enter the cabin, you encounter a world of choice leather upholstery, exquisite trims
and the plentiful natural light of a Panoramic moonroof as well as large frameless rear windows – a BMW design first.

Second row. First class.
A world away from conventional rear-seat passenger space, the Series
Gran Turismo rear cabin brings unparalleled luxury to a place where it’s
rarely seen. Split-folding rear seats fit three adults, or can be folded for a
flexible combination of passengers and cargo. The backrests can recline
as much as degrees, and the already copious amount of legroom is
further boosted by up to ." of fore-to-aft adjustment. The Rear-seat
entertainment feature lets passengers enjoy separate movies or games on
two high-resolution screens built into the front-seat backrests. When you
opt for the Luxury Rear Seating Package with two individual rear Comfort
seats, ventilation and heating, your passengers will find a level of seating
support and adjustment on a par with the front seats. The center console
extends from the front cabin through to the rear, offering rear passengers
an armrest, storage space and cupholders; four-zone climate control allows
specific, customizable levels of temperature settings. A removable partition
separates the cargo area from the rear cabin, helping to keep out road noise;
when opening the rear trunk lid, it helps protect rear passengers from outside wind, heat and cold. And when it’s time for increased cargo-carrying
capacity, the rear seats can be folded down individually at the touch of a
button, to create cu. ft. of space.
Individual comfort seats are available in the rear. Adjustable in a
myriad of different ways, these seats provide an even more relaxing
ride for rear passengers – the backrests can even be reclined as much
as degrees.
For details on the availability of standard and optional features, please refer to the
Standard equipment | Optional equipment charts at the back of this brochure.
With rear seats all the way back, passengers
enjoy the generous legroom typical of BMW’s
long-wheelbase luxury sedans, along with a
. cu. ft. cargo capacity. The seats can also
be moved forward by .", increasing cargo
compartment volume to almost cu. ft.
A separate partition wall behind the seats
insulates passengers from the luggage
compartment and any outside noise, cold or
heat when the trunk lid is opened. When the
partition wall is unlocked, its position readjusts
to align with the position of the rear seats.
Rear seats can be individually folded all the
way down at the touch of a button. With both
seats folded, cargo capacity grows to a
generous cu. ft.
Tailor the configuration to suit your cargoand passenger-carrying needs. Individual

Good things come in groundbreaking packages.
Judging by the Series Gran Turismo’s stunning exterior, you’d expect nothing less than BMW’s most advanced engineering. One of our latest
technologies to be found on board is Brake Energy Regeneration, available on BMWs in the U.S. for the very first time. To save energy and reduce
fuel consumption, an electronically controlled clutch engages and disengages the alternator, allowing it to charge the battery only when the
vehicle is decelerating or braking. Otherwise, it freewheels, drawing virtually no power from the engine. Other advances include a self-leveling
rear suspension that automatically detects changes in ride height at the rear, and uses an electrically powered air compressor to rebalance the
vehicle. And a new multi-link front suspension keeps the handling tight and sporty, letting you tackle each joyful mile with precision and grace.

Versatility
The Series Gran Turismo provides closure
to the space-versus-sportiness debate.

Versatility
As a driver, your needs vary from day to day – especially when it comes to hauling varying
amounts of passengers and cargo. You need to be ready to handle either. The Series
Gran Turismo was designed to accommodate both, with an innovative dual-access tailgate.
In the trunk lid mode, access to a smaller trunk area is provided at the touch of a button, while
a rear partition keeps rear-seat passengers separated from any items in the trunk.
With maximum legroom and locked partition
wall, the BMW Series Gran Turismo has a
storage capacity of . cu. ft.
When the rear seats are moved forward and
the partition wall is unlocked, the capacity
increases to . cu. ft.

Versatility
The striking contours of the new BMW Series Gran Turismo are equalled only by its
impressive capacity. Under its dynamic, elegant silhouette is a massive storage space with
variably adjustable rear seats and backrests, a movable partition wall between the luggage
compartment and rear seats, and numerous fastening and storage options. When it’s time
to use the Series Gran Turismo for its maximum hauling capacity, you’re just the press of
a button away: the tailgate opens up to the rear cargo area, which provides additional room
when the rear seats are folded down. You can vary which seats fold, along with the partition;
numerous fastening options make it easier to stow virtually any object. The rear cargo area
functions as both a trunk and a tailgate, addressing all your needs perfectly.
Never compromise on comfort – even with
three passengers on board. Both the rear
backrests and the partition wall can be folded
forward in a -- split.

Introduction
Discover an automobile that’s driven by ideas and innovations.
A new class of vehicle created from seemingly disparate objectives, BMW’s Series Gran Turismo does what few other vehicles can do. From
under the hood to beneath the tailgate, it delivers many of BMW’s most inspired technologies. Yet with all its exciting features, every part of this
vehicle is a product of the BMW EfficientDynamics philosophy. The idea is simple: combine maximum output with maximum efficiency. It’s respect
for the driver – and responsibility to the environment. BMW’s execution of this concept has led to major advancements throughout the automotive
industry. It’s the pursuit of this idea that serves as the catalyst for every vehicle we make. It’s how we fuel our passion. And yours.

BMW EfficientDynamics
This is how much has gone in.
And this is what comes out.
At BMW, we create dynamic vehicles that thrill you with quick acceleration, predictable handling and unshakable control. We are also busy finding ways to sustain this level of performance while
incorporating innovative fuels and technologies to help preserve the environment. This is what we refer to as “EfficientDynamics.” This goal has led to the visionary CleanEnergy hydrogen-powered
engine, which is currently used in the emission-free BMW Hydrogen Sedan. BMW Advanced Diesel with BluePerformance, which offers diesel power with quick acceleration, increased fuel efficiency
and reduced emissions, was introduced to the U.S. in select models in . In fact, every BMW on the road today comes standard with technology that boosts performance while simultaneously
reducing fuel consumption and CO emissions.
High Precision Injection
Turbocharging is traditionally known for
boosting power at the expense of fuel efficiency.
BMW Advanced Turbo engines with piezo direct
fuel injection, however, inject gasoline at high
pressure and with extreme precision into each
cylinder. And, thanks to BMW’s fast and flexible
electronic control system, both the timing and
quantity of the fuel injections can be precisely
adjusted to driving conditions. As a result, BMW
vehicles achieve greater power with excellent
fuel efficiency.
Advanced Turbo engines
Benefiting from BMW’s Advanced Turbo technology,
both 5 Series Gran Turismo engines deliver quick
acceleration while virtually eliminating turbo lag.
Fuel economy is strong, as well, thanks to precise
piezo direct fuel injection.
-speed automatic transmission
The particularly smooth gear shifts of the new -speed
automatic transmission produce greater engine efficiency
at every engine speed. The result: a reduction in fuel
consumption and more comfortable gear changes.
Lightweight construction
Our engineers use lightweight aluminum
throughout our vehicles – in the front section,
for example, or for the suspension. BMW’s
inline six-cylinder and V-8 Advanced Turbo
engines are all aluminum. Taken together,
these weight savings lead to lower fuel
consumption and better axle load distribution
for more agility – especially in curves.
BMW models have low CO emissions today.
But that’s just for starters. We’re carrying on
our research in the quest to bring you greater
driving pleasure, with fewer emissions and
decreased fuel consumption.
Double-VANOS
VANOS is BMW’s valve timing system that can
“steplessly” vary the points in the combustion cycle
when valves open and close. Double-VANOS refers
to the fact that it operates on both the intake and
exhaust camshafts. Electronically controlled in
response to engine speed, load and temperature,
VANOS reduces emissions, and enhances low- to
medium-speed torque, as well as fuel efficiency.
Aerodynamics
The more smoothly that air flows over a vehicle,
the more efficiently it can operate. All BMWs are
designed for a low coefficient of aerodynamic drag,
which translates into quicker acceleration, more
stable handling, quieter operation and greater fuel
efficiency. A BMW’s integrated front spoilers reduce
the amount of air flowing underneath, minimizing
front-end lift. This allows a BMW to hug the road
at higher speeds for excellent stability.
Brake Energy Regeneration
To supply a battery with electrical energy, the generator
(alternator) is usually driven using engine power, which
requires fuel. With Brake Energy Regeneration, the
generator produces electricity when the driver brakes
or takes a foot off the accelerator. Kinetic energy that
was previously unharnessed is transformed into electrical
energy, then fed into the battery. In this way, electricity
is generated without consuming fuel.
BMW EfficientDynamics
Less emissions. More driving pleasure.

Torque (lb-ft)
Engine speed (rpm)
The Advanced Turbo V- engine in the i Gran Turismo
develops breathtaking torque early on, and a power curve that
grows all the way to rpm. Along with smooth and quiet
running in any rev range, it delivers total comfort and control.
High performance is the product of higher standards.
The V- Advanced Turbo engine in
the i Gran Turismo makes full
use of its hp and lb-ft of
torque for astonishingly quick yet
silky-smooth acceleration.
BMW EfficientDynamics
Less emissions. More driving pleasure.
At BMW, just as there’s no such thing as striving for second place, there’s also no room for
less-than-inspiring power. Take, for example, the powerplant under the hood of the i Gran
Turismo. Designed for reliably smooth and quick acceleration, this Advanced Turbo V- serves
up hp of pure exhilaration, with a wide power band and truly inspiring top speed. The lb-ft
of maximum torque is available over an extremely broad range – from to rpm. With a
standstill to time of . seconds, it’s just the kind of track-inspired muscle that built BMW’s
formidable reputation.
No less impressive is the -hp inline six-cylinder Advanced Turbo engine in the i Gran
Turismo. With lb-ft of torque that kicks in at just rpm, hit the throttle and in just .
seconds you’re sailing past mph. Yet, like the V- engine in the i Gran Turismo, it’s also
one of the most fuel-efficient turbocharged powerplants available.
For details on the availability of standard and optional features, please refer to the
Standard equipment | Optional equipment charts at the back of this brochure.
What makes these engines so revolutionary is BMW’s EfficientDynamics mandate. For all its
daunting power, the i Gran Turismo’s V- is incredibly fuel efficient, owing to its unique
turbocharger construction and placement. Another contributing factor: the High Precision
direct injection regulates fuel usage so precisely, it actually lowers the vehicle’s emissions
by up to percent, meeting U.S. Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV) limits.
Both engines are paired with a groundbreaking new -speed automatic transmission.
Smooth-shifting and sporty, this transmission features taller cruising gears and a unique
gear arrangement for an unusually high efficiency of percent in all eight gears. A faster
shift time also improves fuel efficiency – that’s BMW’s EfficientDynamics in action.

Suspension | Driving technology
Integral Active Steering. With Integral Active
Steering, at speeds up to mph, a small turn
of the steering wheel yields a greater turn of
the front wheels for more direct response. It
also steers the rear wheels up to three degrees
in the opposite direction, giving the effect
of a shortened wheelbase for enhanced
maneuverability. When changing lanes at
speeds over mph, both front and rear
wheels turn in the same direction, giving the
feel of an extended wheelbase. While you
experience greater responsiveness and
directional stability, your passengers enjoy
greater ride comfort from reduced body roll.
Designed to deliver one overriding sensation:
driving pleasure.
When BMW engineers develop the suspension and steering systems of any new vehicle, they
pursue two seemingly contradictory goals: the driver must be able to feel a direct contact with
the road, while passengers are buffered from rough road surfaces. It’s this delicate balance that
produces the unparalleled BMW driving feel, and why we use proven design concepts, such as
rear-wheel drive and near-perfect / weight distribution. All-new suspension technology in
the Series Gran Turismo adds to both its exceptional level of ride comfort and its uniquely agile
handling for a luxury vehicle. In front, multi-link, double-pivot spring-strut technology reduces
damaging longitudinal and lateral forces, while simultaneously increasing contact with the road.
The integral, multi-link self-leveling rear suspension uses air pressure to maintain a comfortable
ride whenever sensors recognize changes in vehicle load or ride height, or if one of the rear tires
suffers a loss of pressure.
Adaptive Drive. Adaptive Drive combines
performance-elevating Active Roll Stabilization
(ARS) and ride-enhancing Dynamic Damping
Control (DDC). The vehicle’s body tends to
roll in corners, affecting handling. ARS twists
special two-piece anti-roll bars to generate
stronger resistance to body roll, keeping the
vehicle more level and providing maximum
stability and agility. DDC, on the other hand,
instantly adjusts shock absorbers from the
softest to the firmest settings. The result is
exceptional ride comfort and fluid handling at
all times – during changes in vehicle speed,
load or road and driving conditions.
Driving Dynamics Control. Give the Series
Gran Turismo a handling and performance
attitude adjustment at the push of a button
on the console. Choose from three settings,
NORMAL, SPORT and SPORT+, to adjust shockabsorber firmness, engine-throttle response,
transmission shift characteristics and powersteering assist. In addition, the traction control
feature can be disengaged when driving on
sand, gravel, or deep or packed snow. When
equipped with Adaptive Drive, the damper
settings can also be individually selected, for
total comfort on longer journeys.

Safety
|
A BMW helps you extend your senses – and your defenses.
At BMW, there are two types of safety engineering. There are active safety features, like a BMW’s quick acceleration, agile handling and massive fade-resistant brakes, which help you avoid
accidents. Driving aids, such as Night Vision with Pedestrian Detection, and Active Blind Spot Detection, also help alert you to potential dangers that you might not otherwise see. BMWs also
offer passive safety features, like safety belts, airbags and Active Head Restraints, which help protect you in case an accident cannot be avoided. And it’s reassuring to know that, should an
impact occur, your BMW can even summon assistance and provide easy access to emergency aid workers. At BMW, safety engineering also comes under the category of “high performance.”
Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go.
BMW Night Vision with Pedestrian
Detection.
Confidence is an integral ingredient in driving enjoyment. That’s why BMW offers an impressive
array of driving aids designed to help reduce the strain of driving – helping to keep you informed
without distracting you from the job at hand. Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go uses radar
measurements to automatically maintain a preset speed and distance between your vehicle and
the one ahead – even in heavy rush-hour traffic. Lane Departure Warning uses a camera near
the rear-view mirror to monitor road lane markings. If you begin to change lanes without first using
the turn signal – a possible indicator of drowsiness – the steering wheel discreetly vibrates as a
reminder. Active Blind Spot Detection uses radar sensors at the rear to monitor traffic in adjacent
lanes, covering an area from your blind spot rearward for nearly feet. If you activate the turn
signal when there is another vehicle in that lane, the LED blinks and the steering wheel vibrates
as a warning not to change lanes. Head-up Display is designed to give you important driving
information at a glance. Projected clearly onto the windshield in your line of sight are important
travel data, such as speed, Check Control warnings, directional arrows from the Navigation system
and cruise control information. BMW Night Vision with Pedestrian Recognition provides an
increased margin of safety at night. An infrared camera in the front bumper scans up to feet
ahead, detecting people as well as the direction of their movement up to feet away. This is
displayed on the iDrive screen – and, if so equipped, on the Head-up Display.
Active Head Restraints.
Head-up Display.
In case of an accident, the Series Gran
Turismo is equipped with a comprehensive
passive safety system. First and foremost
is the passenger cell: a highly rigid hybrid
construction of high-strength steel and
aluminum. In a high-speed collision, it is
designed to direct crash forces around the
passenger cabin, while deforming in a
predetermined pattern. In a fraction of a second,
a sophisticated network of sensors throughout
the vehicle determines the type of accident,
and is designed to trigger the appropriate
safety feature(s). These may include safety
belt pretensioners, front-seat Active Head
Restraints, dual-stage front airbags, seatmounted side-impact airbags, and curtain-type,
front-to-rear Head Protection System.
BMW’s attention to passenger safety doesn’t
end after an accident has occurred. Hazard
lights are automatically activated, interior lights
turned on, and doors unlocked to facilitate
rescue operations. The fuel pump and battery
are disconnected. In addition, the BMW Assist™
system will automatically transmit your vehicle’s
location and crash information, such as airbag
deployment, seat occupation or the side of
impact, to a response specialist, who will then
speak to you to determine if you are alright.
Even if you cannot respond to their call, a
second response specialist will request
dispatch of appropriate emergency services
to your location.
Cruise Control is not a substitute for the driver’s own responsibility in adjusting speed and otherwise controlling the vehicle.
After evaluating the road, traffic and visibility conditions, the driver must decide whether and how the system is used.
Requires clearly definable lane markings that are not obscured by rain, snow, etc. Lane Departure Warning feature is not a
substitute for the driver’s own responsibility in maintaining control of the vehicle.
Under optimal road conditions. Night Vision performance is also limited by rain, fog, humidity and other weather conditions.

approaching at high speed in the passing lane.
If a vehicle is detected, it warns the driver by
sending a mild vibration through the steering
wheel and displaying a visible signal in the
side-view mirror.

when side visibility is limited, such as exiting a
parking garage. One camera is located on each
front fender, just ahead of the wheel arches.
BMW EfficientDynamics in action: each
time you take your foot off the gas pedal, Brake
Energy Regeneration transforms the vehicle’s
kinetic energy into electricity, which is used
to charge the battery. As a result, the battery
draws less power from the engine, effectively
reducing fuel consumption. Whenever this
happens, a blue indicator in the tachometer
lights up.

BMW and the environment.
BMW is a strong proponent of the environment and social responsibility. It is important to manage the earth’s
resources responsibly, and not jeopardize the needs of future generations. That is why BMW makes vehicles
that minimize adverse environmental impact, from production (pollution prevention and waste minimization
at the plant) through owner use (low emissions) to eventual disposal (easy drainability of all fluid-related
components and easy neutralization of all pyrotechnic devices).
This effort has been recognized worldwide and, as a result, we are pleased to have received numerous
environmental honors. In the U.S., for example, the Environmental Protection Agency accepted BMW’s
Spartanburg, SC production and manufacturing facility as a charter member of the agency’s National
Environmental Performance Track. Internationally, BMW AG – the parent company of both BMW of
North America and BMW Manufacturing Co., Spartanburg, SC – was the first automotive company to
be represented on the Dow Jones Sustainability Group Index, and has remained on the Index ever since.
