Munich. BMW will also be injecting many of the models
not affected by its ongoing model offensive with added variety and
appeal during the summer of 2019. Following the successful launch of
the new BMW 3 Series Sedan, its choice of power units has now been
expanded. New engines are also fitted in the BMW 8 Series Coupe, BMW 8
Series Convertible and BMW 5 Series Sedan. Elsewhere, the BMW Z4
sDrive20i (fuel consumption combined: 6.9 – 6.8 l/100 km [40.9 – 41.5
mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined: 157 – 155 g/km) will also be
available with a six-speed manual gearbox from July 2019.
The portfolio of plug-in hybrid models is also set to grow in summer

electric power consumption combined: 15.4 – 15.0 kWh/100 km; CO2

All plug-in hybrid models will now come with new battery cell
technology to boost their electric range and will also feature
acoustic protection for pedestrians as standard. The BMW X2 will come
with LED headlights and LED foglamps as standard from July 2019. Last
but not least, new optional extras, exterior paint finishes, leather

customisation in many model ranges.
BMW 3 Series Sedan: additional power units, new body colours
and options.
The new BMW 3 Series Sedan will serve up its distinctive brand of
driving pleasure in a number of new formats from July 2019, when an
ultra-sporty representative with a straight-six petrol engine and BMW
xDrive, another three all-wheel-drive variants and a plug-in hybrid
model are added to the line-up. As a result, customers will now have a
choice of three petrol and three diesel engines, as well as a plug-in
hybrid drive system. Five of the power units will combine with
all-wheel drive, either as standard or optionally.
Spearheading the model range is the new BMW M340i xDrive Sedan (fuel
consumption combined: 7.5 l/100 km [37.7 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions

bespoke chassis technology combine to keep the engine’s exceptional
power planted firmly on the road and deliver a supremely assured and
exhilarating drive. The likewise standard sports exhaust system
produces a soundtrack to match. The new BMW M340i xDrive Sedan sprints
from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.4 seconds.
From July 2019, intelligent all-wheel drive will be available in
combination with another three engines. The trio of models benefiting

km [148.7 – 176.6 mpg imp]; electric power consumption combined: 15.4
– 14.8 kWh/100 km; CO2 emissions combined: 43 – 37 g/km) delivers a
particularly appealing blend of driving pleasure and efficiency. The
plug-in hybrid model’s four-cylinder petrol engine and electric drive
unit join forces to generate system output of up to 215 kW/292 hp when
the newly developed XtraBoost mode is engaged. This enables the BMW
330e Sedan to reach 100 km/h (62 mph) from rest in 6.0 seconds. At the
same time, it is capable of a maximum electric range from 59 to 66
kilometres (37 – 41 miles) courtesy of state-of-the-art battery technology.

Plug-in hybrid models with new battery cell technology and
acoustic protection for pedestrians.
From summer 2019, the new BMW 330e Sedan, new BMW 530e Sedan, new BMW
530e xDrive Sedan and new BMW X5 xDrive45e will be joined in the
line-up of plug-in hybrid models boasting the very latest battery cell
technology by the new BMW 225xe Active Tourer (petrol consumption
combined: 2.1 – 1.9 l/100 km [134.5 – 148.7 mpg imp]; electric power
consumption combined: 14.2 – 13.5 kWh/100 km; CO2 emissions combined:
47 – 42 g/km) and the BMW 7 Series luxury sedan models with
electrified powertrains. The newly developed high-voltage batteries
further increase efficiency at the same time as boosting the electric range.
From summer 2019, all plug-in hybrid models will be equipped with
acoustic protection for pedestrians as standard. When driving on
electric power, an unmistakable sound specially created for
electrified BMW models is generated using a system of speakers. The
sound produced at low speeds has been designed to announce the car’s
presence acoustically without affecting acoustic comfort for its occupants.
New optional extra: BMW Drive Recorder.
The BMW Drive Recorder is another new addition to the options list.
It can be ordered in conjunction with Parking Assistant Plus and is
available for the new BMW 3 Series Sedan, BMW 7 Series, BMW 8 Series,
new BMW X5 and new BMW X7. The BMW Drive Recorder uses the cameras of
the various driver assistance systems to record video footage from
different points around the vehicle, before saving the recordings so
they can be either watched later on the Control Display when the car
is stationary or exported via the USB port.
Drivers can therefore shoot videos while driving through spectacular
scenery, for example, or performing impressive manoeuvres on the race
track, and then send them to their mobile device and share them.
Recordings can be up to 40 seconds in length, comprising the 20
seconds of video saved immediately prior to the Drive Recorder being
activated and the next 20 seconds. The Drive Recorder can be started
at any time from the iDrive menu. Another benefit of the system is
that, in the event of a collision, the 20 seconds before the accident
and the 20 seconds following it are automatically recorded and saved,
so they can be referred back to in any subsequent reconstruction of
the incident.
