Overview Great emphasis was placed on the use of lightweight materials in the design and construction of the FI 2 bodyshell. This is achieved with the intelligent application of higher-strength multi-phase steels and super-strength hot-formed steels. The FI 2 sees an increase in the average strength of its body materials of 29 % compared with the E64. The use of lightweight materials in conjunction with a rigid bodyshell design results in the enhance¬ ment of the following areas: • Driving dynamics • Reducing fuel consumption • Reducing CO 2 emissions • Passive safety. 4 FI 2 Introduction 2. Body Special features • Die-cast aluminium suspension-strut mountings • High proportion of multi-phase steels (16 % of the bodyshell weight) • High proportion of hot-formed steels (6 % of the bodyshell weight). The die-cast aluminium spring strut towers stiffen the front end and thereby improve the driving dy¬ namics. The use of aluminium in the front end also contributes to uniform axle-load distribution. This in conjunction with the strut brace mounted between the front panel, spring strut towers and bulkhead, provides for a homogeneous distribution of stiffness which facilitates the absorption and dissipation of all the vertical, longitudinal and lateral forces in the event of a collision. The higher-strength multi-phase steels and super-strength hot-formed steels ensure maximum strength of the safety occupant cell (passenger compartment) with low weight, thus making a huge contribution to passive safety. Along with hot-formed steels, an innovative new development, passive corrosion-proofing, is used. In the past, there were no suitable hot-formed sheet metal materials with galvanized corrosion-proofing available on the market. However, with the development of press-hardening technology there is now a process of manufacturing galvanized hot-formed components that is capable of application in volume production. It involves initially cold-forming galvanized sheet steel and then heating it to approx. 900 °C/1252 °F. Immediately afterwards it is cooled directly in the moulding die with integrated water cooling within just a few seconds down to approximately 70 °C/158 °F and thereby hardened. That process gives the components a minimum yield strength of well over 1000 MPa. The parts produced in that way can be used in areas exposed to moisture without suffering corrosion of the basic material. The advantage with type of steel is that it does not require any additional corro¬ sion-proofing measures. 2.1.2. Materials A modern vehicle body must meet a great many requirements. Despite small outer dimensions, it should provide an interior that is a large as possible while providing the highest level of protection in the event of an accident. The torque that is generated also means that the engine and transmis¬ sion, rely on the body for support. Furthermore, the body must have high static and above all dynamic strength in order to guarantee the outstanding driving characteristics that are typical of BMW. Last but not least, the supporting structure of the vehicle must be highly durable and, in the event of an accident, it must be possible for repairs to be carried out at a reasonable cost and without an excessive amount of work. In order to meet all these requirements in the optimum way, BMW pursues the strategy of manufactur¬ ing each component from the material that best suits its function. The two expressions aluminium and steel are merely generic terms for the large number of alloys with very different properties that are deployed. 5 FI 2 Introduction 2.

Higher-strength multi-phase steels with a yield strength R p0 .2 of 300 to 600 MPa are, for example, dual-phase steels or TRIP steels. Super-strength multi-phase steels with a yield strength R p0 .2 in excess of 600 MPa are, for example, complex-phase steels or martensitic-phase steels. Hot-formed manganese-boron steels are super-strength steels with a yield strength R p0 .2 in excess of 900 MPa. Weight proportions In order to reduce the vehicle weight and still ensure maximum strength of the bodyshell, the propor¬ tion of higher/super-strength multi-phase steels, super-strength hot-formed steels and aluminium used is growing. 12 FI 2 Introduction 2.

Corrosion protection and leak resistance Primarily galvanized sheet iron and aluminium sheets are used in the FI 2 body to optimize corrosion protection. Welding, bonding and riveting processes are used as joining methods. The overlaps of the metal plates are designed in such a way that the join surfaces are minimized. This prevents bondline corrosion. Water is prevented from entering the body structure by means of con¬ structive bonding and sealing of the join surfaces. In particularly critical areas, expansion foam parts are used to seal the body cavities against moisture. Double-sheet panels in wet areas are double-sealed and, if necessary, also cavity-filled with wax. 13 FI 2 Introduction 2. Body Where required, the overlaps of the metal plates in dry chambers are sealed off to prevent dust from entering. Risks of corrosion are avoided by using optimum processes. Coating process In the painting process in the immersion cleaning unit, the bodyshell • is cleaned by alkali • is phosphated (roughing of the surface for better adhesion) • is coated in the immersion process using cathodic dip-painting (anticorrosive paint which coats all the body cavities from both the inside and the outside) The organic coat is then baked at up to 200 °C/392 °F Furthermore, the body is sealed with PVC and protected by filler, top coat and clear varnish on the out¬ er skin. The objectives are: • No visible corrosion in the outer skin area for five years • No visible corrosion in the underbody area for three years • No rust penetration for twelve years • High leak-tightness against water and dust. 2.1.4. Side frame FI 2 Separation points for repair The separation points shown above must be used for repair. The rear side panel is bonded and riveted in the repair. 14 TK10-15S FI 2 Introduction 2. Body 2.1.5. Rear trim panel The rear trim panel is welded at the factory to the bodyshell. The rear trim panel is bonded and riveted in the repair. F12 Rear trim panel 2.2. Rollover protection system The rollover protection system is installed as standard behind the rear head restraints and is used for passive safety purposes. In the event of the car rolling over, two rollover bars extend from the module within fractions of a sec¬ ond and lock positively. This, together with the reinforced windshield frame, secures the cabin space for the occupants. If an accident situation that is critical to the car's occupants is identified by the electrical system's sen¬ sor system and signalled to the Crash Safety Module (ACSM). The module outputs a signal for activat¬ ing the two pyrotechnical actuators in the rollover protection system. The actuators release the spring-loaded rollover bars. The two rollover bars extend and lock in their end position by means of pawl/gear strip. 15 FI 2 Introduction 2. Body Special features • Increased passive safety • Structure-orientated modular construction • Reduced weight compared with rollover protection system with fixed-bodyshell partition wall • Load-bearing parts made from lightweight, high-strength aluminium • Supported vehicle rigidity. For further information on the rollover protection system, please refer to the product information FI 2 Passive Safety System. FI 2 Rollover protection system and brace concept 2.3. Pedestrian protection Several pedestrian protection features have been incorporated in the FI 2 front section. An impact ab¬ sorber is installed between the bumper support and the bumper trim to cushion leg impact. The hood is made from aluminium and is fitted with deformation elements. These design measures are intended to produce a defined reduction of energy in the event of an accident. 2.4. Doors Frame less doors with sheet aluminium shell design are installed in the FI 2. 16 FI 2 Introduction 2. Body FI 2 Door Large sheet metal braces that transfer force in the door area ensure high rigidity and component qual¬ ity with the smallest tolerances. The implementation of high draw depths and a new component sep¬ aration (hinge reinforcement and inner door panel) have enable a sophisticated design / contour in the exterior. Advantages of these design features are: Reduced CO 2 emissions and increased driving dynamics thanks to reduced weight (approx. 14 kg/30 lbs per vehicle in relation to a comparable steel variant) The highest form stability of individual parts as a result of one-part inner door panels Lowest possible number of components for the door structure Laser welding and structural adhesive bonding as methods of joining the door structure Aluminium door structures have already featured frequently in BMWs in the past, e.g. in the E52, E63, E64 and E36 M3. Aluminium doors have been manufactured for vehicles in high quantities since the F01. The aim of developing the door structure was to implement a door concept of sheet aluminium shell design which can also be manufactured in higher quantities at acceptable costs. However, from a production engineering point of view the manufacture of sheet aluminium shell parts is more demanding than steel, especially at high draw depths, due to the fact that aluminium is hard¬ er to work. By developing a new structural concept with large shells capable of transmitting force, pro¬ duction capability could be ensured without having to depart from the proven sheet-metal shell design The FI 2 is the first Convertible to feature a drop-type rear side window with anti-trap mechanism. 17 FI 2 Introduction 2. Body 2.5. Front fenders In the FI 2 the front fenders are made of thermoplastic. FI 2 Front fenders Special features Reduced CO 2 emissions and increased driving dynamics thanks to reduced weight (-2 kg/4.4 lbs per vehicle compared with a comparable steel variant) Increased customer value thanks to inexpensive integration of design elements and design features Resistance to minor damage thanks to high elasticity of the material No corrosion Positive environmental footprint thanks to the use of up to 30 % recycled material 18 FI 2 Introduction 2.

Body FI 2 Comparison of lightweight construction grade and static torsional rigidity of the bodyshell with BMW 6 Series Convertible E64 Index Explanation c T Static torsional rigidity L Lightweight construction grade 1 E64 model year 2004 2 FI 2 model year 2011 Static torsional rigidity refers to the distortions of the body about an axis when subjected to a torque. Because there is a conflict of objectives between lightweight construction and rigidity, static torsional rigidity is never considered on its own; instead, the lightweight construction grade is also considered. The lightweight construction grade describes the static torsional rigidity value in relation to the contact area (toe x wheelbase) and to the weight of the bodyshell (without doors and compartment lids). It is a measure of what rigidity has been achieved with what small amount of mass for a given contact area. In the FI 2 it has been possible to achieve a lightweight construction grade of 3.6 through intelligent geometrical layout of the load paths in conjunction with lightweight material construction. 22 FI 2 Introduction 3. Exterior and Interior Equipment 3.1. Exterior equipment 3.1.1. Front section The front section of the FI 2 body can be removed completely. It consists of the bumper, the lights, a number of sensors and trim panels. A It is imperative that the repair instructions are followed when removing and refitting the front end.

Underbody design The virtually smooth underbody throughout reduces drag and lift forces. Strategically placed air inlets provide for optimum component cooling. The underbody panelling improves acoustics and protects lines and other components against stone chipping and dirt contamination. This offers the best body and components protection against corrosion. 23 FI 2 Introduction 3. Exterior and Interior Equipment A Modifications to the underbody or the omission of trim panels will result in an altered air flow along the underbody. This can influence road grip. 3.2. Interior equipment 3.2.1. Dashboard The FI 2 is equipped with a multi-part dashboard. FI 2 Passenger compartment, dashboard The basic version of the dashboard is covered with flexible soft skin and finished with single-lapped seams. The upper and lower sections on the driver's side are always black, regardless of the trim color. The glove box is, depending on the trim color, available in the four colors: black, ivory white, cinnamon brown and vermilion red. The dashboard is available with a full Nappa leather surface with double-lapped seams. In conjunction with the leather-lined dashboard a contrast stitching of the decorative seams is, de¬ pending on the trim color, available in the colors: grey, oyster, red-orange or tannin red. The air vents for defrosting the side windows are located not in the dashboard, but in the doors. Air is routed into the doors through an air vent in the side cover of the dashboard. Special features • Improved driver controls facing towards driver on dashboard center • Enhancement of decorative strips and air vent grilles by accentuation strips • Free-standing central information display (CID) • Integrated, fixed storage compartment in the glove box The high-resolution central information display (CID).. A display of 10.25" is installed. 24 FI 2 Introduction 3. Exterior and Interior Equipment The superior-quality decorative strip geometry is further enhanced by galvanized accentuation strips. In addition, the visual appearance of the fresh-air grille is enhanced by a chrome link on the adjusting lever for altering the airflow direction and by galvanized outer fins. 3.2.2. Center console F12 center console The FI 2 is equipped with a two-piece center console. It consists of the center console carrier and the corresponding function carrier, depending on the gearbox installed (manual gearbox or automatic transmission). The function carrier is welded to the center console carrier. The surfaces and decorative seams of the side section on the passenger side, the center armrest and the rear center console trim are of the same design as the dashboard. The decorative surfaces of the dashboard are repeated in the generous center console decorative trim. Depending on the trim color selected, the concealed side trims come in black, ivory white, cinnamon brown or vermilion red, and the carpet trims come in black or oyster to match the floor trim. 3.2.3. Storage options The FI 2 features the following storage options: • A door pocket in both the driver's and passenger doors • Glove box • Storage net in the passenger footwell 25 FI 2 Introduction 3. Exterior and Interior Equipment • Two cup holders in front of the gear selector lever, or an oddments tray or ashtray in front of the gearshift lever (depending on the vehicle equipment specification) • Cup holder, oddments tray or ashtray behind the controller (depending on the vehicle equip¬ ment specification) • Center armrest storage compartment (with cup holder for manual gearbox). The latch for the center armrest is linked to the central locking system. 3.2.4. Front seats Lightweight front seats with integrated belts are used in the FI 2. They are low in height, thereby facili¬ tating a low seat position. This has made it possible to deliver among other things a flat roof line in the F12. The use of higher-strength steels has reduced the wall thicknesses of the seat structure and with it re¬ duced the weight of the seats. This has made the front seats much narrower, especially in the back¬ rests. Omitting the belt height adjusters has also helped to reduce the weight. The backrests of the front seats are no longer fitted with conventional rear panels; instead they have bag-type covers, flanked on either side by a plastic trim. FI 2 Front seat Unlike the E63/E64, the FI 2 uses the same front seats as the FI 3 Coupe. The front seats of FI 2 offer the same functionality as those of the F01. 26 FI 2 Introduction 3. Exterior and Interior Equipment The following front seat variant is standard: • Multi-contour seat Seat equipment Multi-contour seat Seat memory Standard Seat heating for driver/front passenger SA 248 included in ZCW Cold weather package Lumbar support, driver/front passenger Standard Active seat for driver / front passenger SA 455 included in ZLS Luxury seating package Active seat ventilation, front SA 453 included in ZLS Luxury seating package Crash-active head restraint 1 Standard Comfort head restraint Standard 1 For further information on the crash-active head restraint, please refer to the product information FI 2 Passive Safety System.

The front seats also have a rear easy-entry facility by means of forward/back seat adjustment and a mechanical backrest tilt-forward facility. FI 2 Rear easy-entry facility Index Explanation 1 Backrest tilt-forward facility 2 Rear easy-entry facility button A _ Before driving off, tilt the backrest back and lock in place, otherwise there is a risk of accident due to unexpected seat movement. The handle for tilting the backrest forwards is, unlike its predecessor, mounted directly on the seat belt guide loop. It does not have to be operated to tilt the backrest back. Depending on the seat position, the seat and/or the head restraint are adjusted downwards when the backrest is tilted forwards. If the backrest fails to engage correctly when it is tilted back, a Check Control message is displayed in the instrument panel. 30 FI 2 Introduction 3. Exterior and Interior Equipment The seat can be moved into the desired position by pressing the rear easy-entry facility button. Re¬ leasing the button stops the seat's movement. If the seat is adjusted towards the rear, it returns to its original position. If the rear easy-entry facility button is only briefly pressed, the seat moves to its respective end posi¬ tion. Pressure the button again stops the seat's movement. Seat heating The buttons for operating seat heating are located in the integrated automatic heating/air conditioning system control panel.

The front seats are equipped with belt tensioners, and the front passenger seat is additionally equipped with a seat occupancy detector. 3.2.5. Wind deflector A wind deflector can be ordered for the FI 2. When installed, the wind deflector deflects the air turbulence generated by the air flow away from the passenger compartment. This provides for a comfortable drive with the soft top open, particularly at higher speeds. The upper frame of the wind deflector can where necessary be manually folded down or placed in the upright position again. When not being used, the wind deflector is kept in the supplied storage pouch in the luggage compartment to save space. 33 FI 2 Introduction 3.
