It is an independent model variant that supplements the BMW 5 Series. The N63 power- plant in the 550i Gran Turismo is combined with a new 8 speed automatic transmission and the incorporation of Brake Energy Regeneration, this is the first BMW vehicle of its kind ever introduced to the US market. It is the modern reinterpretation of a stylish, clas¬ sical Gran Turismo - with the characteristic features of a sedan, a flexible touring wagon and of a versatile SUV. Gran Turismo (Italian for “Grand Touring”) refers to powerful touring sedans which, in contrast to pure sports cars, used to feature more comfort, a larger interior and greater suitability for daily use on long journeys. The expectations with regard to a modern Gran Turismo for long and comfortable jour¬ neys are exceeded with the generously and luxuriously equipped interior. Worldwide, there is no other vehicle that is so perfectly suited for the business world, leisure and sport in equal measure. The seat position has been raised noticeably; the main advantage of this for all passen¬ gers is that it is very easy to get in and out of the vehicle. This seat position also provides the driver with a better view of traffic conditions, and thus a feeling of greater confidence on the road. The clever luggage compartment lid of the BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo uses a double opening mode design that splits the tail gate into two parts. Depending on the cargo requirements, either the large luggage compartment lid can be opened to load large, bulky objects or for smaller items just the small luggage compartment lid below the rear window can be opened. 5 F07 Complete Vehicle Index Explanation a Vehicle height, empty (1559 mm/61.37 in) b Front track width (550i Gran Turismo: 1621 mm/63.81 in, 535i Gran Turismo 1611 mm/63.42 in) c Overhang at front (838 mm/32.99 in) d Wheelbase (3070 mml 20.86 in) e Overhang at rear (1090 mm/42.91 in) f Rear track width (550i Gran Turismo: 1636 mm/ 64.40 in, 535i Gran Turismo 1654 mm 65.11 in) g Vehicle length (4998 mm/196.77 in) h Vehicle width (1901 mm/74.84 in) 6 F07 Complete Vehicle Comparison of dimensions F07 550i Gran Turismo F01 750i xDrive E71 X6 xDrive50i Vehicle height, empty 1559 mm 1479 mm 1690 mm Front track width 1621 mm 1611 mm 1644 mm Front overhang 838 mm 864 mm 858 mm Wheelbase 3070 mm 3070 mm 2933 mm Rear overhang 1090 mm 1138 mm 1086 mm Rear track width 1636 mm 1650 mm 1706 mm Vehicle length 4998 mm 5072 mm 4877 mm Vehicle width without exterior mirrors 1901 mm 1902 mm 1983 mm Turning circle diameter 12.2 m 12.5 m 12.8 m Shoulder room, front 1506 mm 1503 mm 1521 mm Shoulder room, rear 1466 mm 1458 mm 1448 mm Elbow room, front 1538 mm 1541 mm 1551 mm Elbow room, rear 1526 mm 1540 mm 1513 mm Maximum headroom, front 1051 mm 1032 mm 973 mm Maximum headroom, rear 991 mm 978 mm 946 mm Luggage compartment volume 440/590/1700 liters 15.53/20.83/60 cubic feet 500 liters 17.65 cubic feet 570/1450 liters 20.12/51.20 cubic feet 7 F07 Complete Vehicle F07 Silhouette Comparison Silhouette comparison 7 Series Saloon with 5 Series Gran Turismo 0 Index Explanation 1 F01 2 F07 Silhouette comparison X6 with 5 Series Gran Turismo © Index Explanation 1 E71 2 F07 8 F07 Complete Vehicle Silhouette comparison 5 Series Touring with 5 Series Gran Turismo © © Index Explanation 1 E61 2 F07 Seat Heights Seat height comparison 7 Series Saloon with 5 Series Gran Turismo Index Explanation 1 F01 2 F07 a Seat height F01 508 mm/19.99 in b Seat height F07 574 mm/22.59 in 9 F07 Complete Vehicle With regard to the arrangement of the seat height, the F07 is between the F01 and the E71.

This is achieved with the intelligent application of higher-strength, multi-phase steels and super¬ strength, press hardened steels. The construction with lightweight materials makes a decisive contribution to reducing the vehicle weight. In conjunction with a rigid design of the body shell, it makes a significant contribution to the following: • Driving dynamics • Reducing fuel consumption • Reducing C02 emissions • Passive safety. Weight reduction features include: • Spring strut towers made of die-cast aluminum (2% of the body shell weight) • High proportion of multi-phase steels (20% of the bodyshell weight) • High proportion of press hardened steels (12% of the body shell weight). In the case of the press hardened steels, an innovative corrosion protection process is used. This means that additional corrosion protection measures are no longer required for this steel. The spring strut towers made of die-cast aluminum make the front end more rigid and are designed to meet the high load requirements. Compared with conventional steel shell construction method, the compact construction method has greatly reduced the installa¬ tion space required and reduced the weight in the front section of the vehicle. Among other things, this leads to even axle-load distribution. The higher-strength multi-phase steels and super-strength press hardened steels ensure maximum strength of the safety occupant cell with low weight, thus making a huge con¬ tribution to passive safety. 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. In the event of an acci¬ dent, the passengers must be protected against injury as well as possible. The torque that is generated also means that all units, e.g. the engine and transmission, rely heavily on the body structure 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. 11 F07 Complete Vehicle Last but not least, the supporting structure of the vehicle must be durable over the long term and, in the event of an accident, it must be possible for repairs to be carried out at a reasonable cost and with a minimum amount of effort. In order to meet all of these requirements, BMW pursues the strategy of creating each component from the material best suited for its function. The two expressions aluminum and steel are merely generic terms for the large number of alloys with very different properties that are deployed. F07 material qualities for body shell Index Explanation 1 Multi-phase steels (> 300 MPa) 2 Press hardened steels (> 900 MPa) 3 Aluminum 4 Other steels (< 300 MPa) Note: Rockers, doors, hood and deck lid of the F07 are made from aluminum. 12 F07 Complete Vehicle Multi-phase steels are steels where the structure consists of a number of phases. Higher- strength multi-phase steels with a limit of elasticity Rp0.2 of 300 to 600 MPa are e.g. dual-phase steels or TRIP steels. Higher-strength multi-phase steels with a limit of elas¬ ticity Rp 0.2 above 600 MPa are e.g. complex- phase steels or martensitic-phase steels. The press hardened manganese-boron steels are super-strength steels with a limit of elasticity Rp 0.2 above 900 MPa. Dual Phase (DP) Steels Dual-phase steel (DPA) is a high-strength steel that has a ferrite and martensitic microstructure. DPA starts as a low or medium carbon steel and is quenched from a pre¬ determined temperature on a continuous cooling transformation diagram. This results in a microstructure consisting of a soft ferrite matrix containing islands of martensite as the secondary phase (martensite increases the tensile strength). Transformation-Induced Plasticity (TRIP) Steel TRIP steel is a high-strength steel typically used in the automotive industry. TRIP stands for “transformation induced plasticity.” TRIP steel has a triple phase microstructure con¬ sisting of ferrite, bainite, and retained austenite. During deformation and straining, the metastable austenite phase is transformed into martensite. This transformation allows for enhanced strength and ductility. Complex Phase (CP) Steels CP steels typify the transition to steel with very high ultimate tensile strengths. The microstructure of CP steels contains small amounts of martensite, retained austenite and pearlite within the ferrite/bainite matrix. Martensitic (MS) Steels To create MS steels, the austenite that exists during hot-rolling or annealing is trans¬ formed almost entirely to martensite during quenching on the run-out table or in the cool¬ ing section of the continuous annealing line. The martensite is formed by rapid cooling (quenching) of austenite which traps carbon atoms that do not have time to diffuse out of the crystal structure. Note: Megapascal (MPa) is a metric unit of pressure or stress equal to one mil¬ lion pascals or one newton per square millimeter used to measure ten¬ sile strength. 13 F07 Complete Vehicle Weight proportions In order to reduce the vehicle weight and still ensure maximum strength of the body shell, the proportion of higher-strength multi-phase steels, super-strength press hardened steels and aluminum used is growing. F07 bodyshell, distribution of the material quality Index Explanation 1 Multi-phase steels (> 300 MPa) - 20% 2 Press hardened steels (> 900 MPa) - 12% 3 Aluminum - 2% 4 Other steels (< 300 MPa) - 66% 14 F07 Complete Vehicle Corrosion protection and leak-resistance In order to optimize corrosion protection, mainly galvanized steel plates and sheet aluminum plates are used on the body of the F07. The joining technologies used are welding, bonding and riveting. The overlaps of the metal plates are designed in such a way that the join surfaces are minimized. This prevents bond- line corrosion. Water is prevented from entering the body structure by means of constructive bonding and sealing of the join surfaces. In particularly critical areas, expansion foam parts are used to seal the body cavities against moisture. Sheet doubling point in wet chambers are sealed off and, if required, additionally preserved with wax. Where required, the overlaps of the metal plates in dry chambers are sealed off to prevent dust from entering. Material pairings that could be critical with regard to corrosion are avoided. The combina¬ tion of material substrates and joining methods is carefully co-ordinated to eliminate the risk of corrosion. Coating process In the painting process in the immersion cleaning unit, the bodyshell is: • cleaned by alkali, • phosphated (roughing of the surface for better adhesion) and • coated in the immersion process with KTL (corrosion protection paint that coats all the body cavities from the inside). The organic layer of paint is then heat treated (baked). Furthermore, the body is sealed with PVC and protected by filler, top coat and clear varnish on the outer skin. On the F07, particularly critical body areas are given cavity sealing. The objectives are: • No visible corrosion at all for 3 years • No rust damage for 12 years • High leak-tightness against water and dust. 15 F07 Complete Vehicle Front Section For the repair of the front section, there are no new aspects in comparison with the F01.

Luggage Compartment Lid in Lid A luggage compartment lid system with two full luggage compartment lids that can be opened independently of one another is fitted for the first time in the F07. This enables the F07 to provide all the benefits of a classical saloon and of a wagon. There has never before been a system of this kind at BMW. Index Explanation A Small luggage compartment lid opened B Large luggage compartment lid opened 19 F07 Complete Vehicle Depending on requirements, the small or large luggage compartment lid can opened for loading. • For loading small objects (e.g. pocket, jacket, coats, etc.), the small luggage com¬ partment lid can be opened. In contrast to a wagon or SUV, when the luggage compartment partition wall is locked the passengers are protected against outside influences such as wind and weather while loading. • For loading large objects (e.g. bicycles, skis, golf bags, carrying cases, etc.), the large luggage compartment lid can be opened. On vehicles with a rearview camera system (SA 3AG is part of ZCE Camera Package), the rearview camera is integrated in the handle strip of the luggage compartment lid. Structure, concept The centerpiece of the luggage compartment lid system in the F07 is the supporting frame made of die-cast aluminum. Until now, a die-cast component of this size and dimensional accuracy has never been manufactured. F07 supporting frame Among other things, the purpose of the supporting frame is to accommodate the small luggage compartment lid, the rear window and many trim panel components. In the event of repairs, the supporting frame must be subjected to a visual inspection to identify cracks or deformations; if necessary, it must be replaced. Note: The supporting frame structure must not be repaired if necessary it must be replaced as a unit. 20 F07 Complete Vehicle F07 structure of luggage compartment lid Index Explanation 1 Top cover (spoiler) 2 Rear window (firmly bonded) 3 Hinge for large luggage compartment lid (rotating outwards) 4 Supporting frame 5 Hinge for small luggage compartment lid (rotating outwards) 6 Small luggage compartment lid (body shell) 7 Handle strip with chrome panel 8 Trim for luggage compartment lid 21 F07 Complete Vehicle Operating and control concept The small luggage compartment lid can be opened with the following: • Middle button on the luggage compartment lid • Remote control • Button in the vehicle on the A-pillar. The large luggage compartment lid can be opened with the following: • Right-hand button on the luggage compartment lid (the lock unlocks and the luggage compartment lid has to be opened by hand or it opens automatically on vehicles with Power Tailgate SA 316) • Remote control Press and hold the diamond button on the remote to operate the large tailgate automatically (only on vehicles with power tailgate (SA 316) F07 opening height of the large luggage compartment lid On vehicles with automatic rear lid actuation (SA 316 Power tailgate), the opening height of the large luggage compartment lid can be adjusted using the controller. A button on the luggage compartment lid activates the continued movement function. Here, the lug¬ gage compartment lid continues to move as long as the button is pressed or until the maximum opening of approximately 2290 mm (to the lower edge of luggage compart¬ ment lid) is reached. 22 F07 Complete Vehicle Assembly position The emergency release can be used to open both luggage compartment lids simultane¬ ously for vehicle assembly or repair (e.g. for removing and fitting the top and bottom load edge trim). For customer operation, the lids are electrically locked against one another. F07 assembly position of luggage compartment lids Note: When opening the luggage compartment lids, make sure there is sufficient space available, as otherwise damage can occur. The altered position of the center of gravity of the small luggage compartment lid increases the opening speed of the large luggage compartment lid. This can damage the gas pressure springs or spindle drives (with SA 316, Power Tailgate). This is why the large luggage compartment lid must be braked on opening in this case.

The luggage compartment lock and the SCA for the large luggage compartment lid are secured underneath the load edge. The luggage compartment lock and the SCA for the small luggage compartment lid are located directly on the small luggage compartment lid. The strikers are each located on the supporting frame. Gas pressure springs, small luggage compartment lid Index Explanation 1 Glass pressure springs When removing and installing the gas pressure springs, follow proper repair instruction procedure: • Open the small luggage compartment lid and secure in the open position. • Unclip the gas pressure springs from the ball pin on the hinge • Remove the interior trim • Unscrew the ball pin on the supporting frame. 25 F07 Complete Vehicle Gas pressure springs or spindle drive on large luggage compartment lid Index Explanation 1 Gas pressure springs or spindle drive on vehicles with automatic luggage compartment lid actuation (SA 316) When removing and installing the gas pressure springs, follow proper repair instruction procedure: • Open the large luggage compartment lid and secure against falling closed. • Unclip the ball pins in the water gutter and on the supporting frame. • On vehicles with Power Tailgate (SA 316) unplug the connector for the spindle drive (under roofliner in the dry chamber). 26 F07 Complete Vehicle Front End The front end section of the F07 can be removed as a complete unit, it consists of the bumper, the lights, a number of sensors and trim panels.

It can absorb low-speed loads (at least 4 km/h) without body damage. The bumper system is designed to meet consumer protection requirements. The con¬ sumer protection requirements in the US by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Specifically designed deforming elements lead to low repair costs. Doors For the first time on a four-door BMW, all the doors are frameless. This detail is a clever concept on the part of the BMW designers that emphasizes the sporty coupe styling. It creates an even flatter, more dynamic contour of the elongated, coupe-style roof line. This is a decisive design feature that follows the tradition of a Gran Turismo. 28 F07 Complete Vehicle F07 frameless doors at front and rear Index Explanation 1 Fixed trim panel, B-pillar 2 Fixed side window on rear door 3 Fixed side windows on body Frameless doors design features are listed below: • Frameless aluminum doors, steel-plate shell construction method, front and rear • Automatic side window lowering • Roller sunblind in the rear doors (option) • Crash Pad (foam re-enforcement inside door cavity) The mirrors, the bridges of the side windows and the trim panels of the B pillar and C pillar are designed in high-quality “high gloss black”. With SA 760 (BMW Individual high gloss Shadow Line), the trim strips on the side frame and the recess covers are also designed in “high gloss black”. 29 F07 Complete Vehicle F07 sheet metal shells of the door body Large sheet metal door shell structures transfer force to the body and ensure high rigidity and component quality despite the low tolerances used. The implementation of very deep stamping in the fabrication of the inner door panel structure and the clever use of a hinge reinforcement have enable a sophisticated design/contour of the exterior. Advantages of the door design: • Reduced C02 emissions and increase in the driving dynamics as a result of weight saving (28 kg/61.7 lb per vehicle in relation to a comparable steel design) • Interior impression alows for an improved sense of space • Increase in the light incidence inside the vehicle • High form stability of individual parts as a result of one-part construction of the inner door panel stamping. • Lowest possible number of components for the door structure • Laser welding and structure bonding are used in the assembly of the door structure. There have been many aluminum door structures at BMW in the past, e.g. on the E52, E63, E64. However, they have only been produced in high volumes since the launch of the F01. The aim of the development of the door structure for the F07 was therefore to implement an aluminum door concept that could also be manufactured in greater volume at acceptable costs. However, it is considerably difficult to manufacture aluminum stamped parts, in particular when the material requires deep stamping to form the component, due to the lower plasticity of aluminum. With the development of a new structure concept with deep stamped sections that are used to transfer force, manufacturing feasibility was ensured without having to forego the proven metal plate component construction methods. 30 F07 Complete Vehicle Roller Sunblind Roller sunblinds (SA 416 Rear Sunshades) are available in the rear doors as options for the F07. For the first time, an electrically activated roller sunblind is installed for frameless doors. The roller sunblind has a horizontal bar at the top end. The horizontal bar is attached to a telescopic bar that can be extended and retracted by means of an electric motor. F07 roller sunblind, rear door Panoramic Glass Sunroof A two-part panoramic glass sunroof with contour is a standard on the F07. The design, the materials used and the variability set new standards in this vehicle class. The F07 is currently the only vehicle on the market on which the large glass sunroof system makes a significant contribution to the overall vehicle rigidity. Index Explanation 1 Glass panel 2 Fixed glass element 3 Roller sunblind 4 Frame 5 Wind deflector 31 F07 Complete Vehicle The front glass panel in the color “Venus grey” has an opening and lifting function; the rear fixed glass element is fixed in the structure. The panoramic glass sunroof is a slide / tilt sunroof that runs inwards. The glass panel and wind deflector can be moved and are controlled according to the usual BMW slide/ tilt sunroof operating logic by means of a switch in the roof function center (FZD): • To open the roof: Press the switch backwards • To close the roof: Press the switch forwards • Roof in ventilation setting: Press the switch upwards The operating logic to open the roller sunblind is implemented in the same way as for the BMW panoramic glass sunroof. The operating logic corresponds to the direction of movement of the components and is thus easy for customers to understand. To exclude the risk of possible injury, an anti-trap mechanism is implemented for the complete travel path of the glass panel. Comparison of panoramic glass sunroof F07 and E61 Index Explanation A F07 B E61 Despite a significantly smaller body roof area, the panoramic glass sunroof of the F07 is 10% longer and wider than the panoramic glass sunroof of the E61. The F07 is the first vehicle in which a panoramic glass sunroof of this size could be integrated into a coupe-style roof line. The F07 panoramic glass sunroof can be opened to a length of up to 440mm/17.3 inches. This innovative sliding roof system is made possible by the newly developed roller sunblind which takes up very little space in the roofliner when rolled up. 32 F07 Complete Vehicle Only the F07 currently offers a side roller sunblind that completely seals off light and prevents anyone looking in. This achieves the maximum possible headroom and viewing surface. The roller sunblind can be opened together with the front glass panel or opened sepa¬ rately. It is covered with “Rokona Tokyo” fabric and in different color variants depending on the roofliner color. Common Part Concept The common part concept means that the highest demands can be met at acceptable costs. For example, components that are completely identical or components that have been only slightly modified are used.

In-mould Coating (IMC) is the term used to describe the technology used to make the spray-on skin from polyurethane. First, a parting agent is poured into a mould. The layer of paint in colors is then applied. A 1 mm thick layer of polyurethane is then applied. The upper part is available in black or with a bright interior color. The interior color is continued in the bottom section of the dashboard. This area below the decorative strip is available in the following colors: • Black • Everest grey • Venetian beige • Ivory white • Cinnamon brown F07 Dashboard 39 F07 Complete Vehicle For the decorative strips, galvanized accentuating strips represent a significant upgrade. The central information display (CID) is also highlighted by accentuating strips at its side. The decorative strips are available in matt satin silver as well as in different wood variants, including one with open pores. The ambient light under the accentuating strips on the decorative strips creates a floating effect. In addition, the visual effect of the fresh air grille is enhanced by galvanized frames and a clasp inserted in the control knob. For better operation at night, the knurled wheels at the center fresh air grille have lighting on the F07. Additional lighting for the knurled wheels of the side grilles is included with the SA 4NB (4 zone automatic climate control system). F07 one-part foamed dashboard with hard rubber support Center Console In contrast to the F01, a two-part center console is installed in the F07. This consists of the center console support and the gear selector switch function carrier (GWS). Explanation Center console support Gear selector switch function carrier 40 F07 Complete Vehicle Depending on the climate control system that is fitted (2 zones or 4 zones), different cen¬ ter console supports are installed. Note: The F07 comes with driver and passenger knee airbags. Storage Options Additional storage space has been created within the immediate reach of the driver. A folding compartment on the driver's side as well as a storage compartment in the center of the dashboard. The front surface of the storage compartment is designed with the same visual appearance as the dashboard and has a galvanized button with a black frame. Storage Options at Front The DVD changer (SA 696) has been positioned in the glove box in a folding unit. This means that the capacity of the glove box is unchanged in vehicles with a DVD changer. There is a USB interface on the right side inside of the glove box to import data from and export data to a USB stick (e.g. Personal Profile or music collection).

Its versatility and the materials set new standards in this vehicle class. The vehicle interior can be separated from the luggage compartment (comfort position). To increase the capacity, the luggage compartment can be placed in the cargo position or the rear-seat backrests can be folded down. In the luggage compartment, the carpet surface “satin velour” available in 4 colors. Versatility The seating comfort in the rear and the luggage compartment capacity can always be adapted to individual needs. F07 has as much legroom as in the F01 and the headroom and a maximum luggage compartment capacity (with the rear seat bench completely folded down) is comparable to the E70. F07 luggage compartment variability Index Explanation A Maximum comfort position B Luggage compartment partition wall, vertical (cargo position) C Rear seats and luggage compartment partition wall folded down 43 F07 Complete Vehicle F07 rear seats in normal position and with center armrest folded down, as well as right-hand rear seat in the front backrest position In the comfort position, the rear-seat backrests can be tilted by up to 33 degrees (40 degrees with SA 460, comfort seat in the rear, electrical). The luggage compartment capacity is 440 liters (15.53 cubic feet). The vehicle interior is separated from the luggage compartment by the luggage compartment partition wall behind the seats in every set¬ ting. If the luggage compartment partition wall is released, it adapts to the setting of the seats, enlarging the luggage compartment capacity. If both seats are shifted forwards by a maxi¬ mum of 100 mm, the luggage compartment capacity is 590 liters (20.83 cubic feet); legroom is then at the comfortable level of the E60. The luggage compartment now has sufficient space for e.g. four golf bags (46"), a baby stroller or four pairs of skis (through- loading option between the rear seats). F07 rear seat with center armrest and luggage compartment partition wall folded down on left and both rear seat backrests and the luggage compartment partition wall folded down. 44 F07 Complete Vehicle Folding down the rear seats creates a load volume of 1,700 liters (60 cubic feet). This enables transport of large or bulky objects, e.g. washing machines, TVs etc., two short surfboards, two mountain bikes standing or three mountain bikes lying down. Intermediate combinations can also be set. The seat cushion, backrests and luggage compartment partition wall are split and can be adjusted individually. Depending on requirements, the small or large luggage compartment lid can opened for loading. Separation of Vehicle Interior and Luggage Compartment Index Explanation 1 Rear window shelf 2 Luggage compartment partition wall The luggage compartment can be separated from the vehicle interior using the luggage compartment partition wall and the rear window shelf (comfort position). Even if the small luggage compartment lid is opened or the backrest angle of the rear seats is changed, in the same way as in the sedan neither cold nor noise nor smells from the luggage compartment can reach the passengers. 45 F07 Complete Vehicle Rear Window Shelf The rear window shelf is designed in the same quality and color (“Everest grey” or “Oyster”) as the roofliner (continuation of design for roofliner and pillar trim). Design measures have been used to protect the critical areas against damage and soiling. F07 rear window shelf 0 © ® © Index Explanation 1 Rear window shelf 2 Ventilation grille 3 Rear cover 4 Side mount 5 Mounting pin 6 Handle recess To remove the rear window shelf, raise at the back and take out towards the rear. There are two handle recesses on the underside to ensure easy and safe handling. Subsequently, the rear window shelf can be stowed under the rear floor panel in the luggage compartment. 46 F07 Complete Vehicle Luggage compartment partition wall F07 luggage compartment partition wall and operating lever Index Explanation 1 Right-hand segment 2 Middle segment 3 Left-hand segment 4 Release for middle segment 5 Release for right-hand segment 6 Release for left-hand segment When locked in place, the luggage compartment partition wall behind the seats sepa¬ rates the vehicle interior from the luggage compartment. On the passenger side, it has a trim panel with the same design as the door trim panels and lower side panels of the C- pillar. 47 F07 Complete Vehicle If the luggage compartment partition wall has been released, a spring mechanism moves it as far forwards as the setting of the seats permits. Shifting the seats in a longitudinal direction and changing the backrest angle enables an increase in the luggage compart¬ ment capacity. Seating comfort remains very high; legroom is in the front seat position is still at the level of the E60. The luggage compartment partition wall is split into three segments. The width of each of the two outer segments corresponds to 40% of the overall width; the width of the middle segment accounts for 20%. The following variations are possible when folding down: • Only right-hand segment • Only middle segment • Left-hand and middle segment • All segments. The two outer segments are released by means of operating levers on each of the side trim panels in the luggage compartment. The middle segment is released by means of an operating lever on the back of the middle segment.

The back of the seat reaches up to the side of the seat. This is referred to as a “surrounding seat wall”. Triggering of the airbag pushes up the side slightly, enabling the airbag to open and perform its protective function. The front seats are equipped with seat occupation detection and seat belt ten¬ sioners. Unlike the F01/F02, seat belts with elec¬ tric motor driven reel are not offered on the F07. Note: F07 ACSM system is similar to F01 as it incorporates driver/passenger front, side and knee airbags as well as left and right curtain airbags as standard equipment. Index Explanation 1 Comfort positioning 2 Crash positioning A Basic seat B Comfort seat Crash-active Head Restraint The front seats are equipped with crash-active head restraints. On the fully electric seats, the head restraint has a button that can be used to set the distance to the head. On the comfort seat, the distance can be set using the backrest upper section adjust¬ ment. 53 F07 Complete Vehicle Passenger Airbag Deactivation An automatic deactivation of the airbag is provided in compliance with the regulations of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NHTSA. The child seat listed in the regulation (for an approximately one-year old child on the front passenger seat) must lead to the deactivation of the airbag. The seat occupancy mat is used to classify the occu¬ pants for this function. The F07 uses a CIS (Capacitive Interior Sensing mat) instead of the Occupant Classification 3 mat OC3 used in previous vehicles. The CIS was first introduced to the US market with the E89 Z4. The CIS mat consists of two elements, a sensor wire, which runs parallel to the seat heating in the seat cushion, and an evaluation unit. The CIS mat measures the capacity and the ohmic resistance between the sensor wire (anode) and the ground of the vehicle (katode) at a frequency of 120 kHz. The CIS mat uses changes in the capacity and the resistance to determine whether an adult or a child is in the front passenger seat. F07 Measuring procedure of the CIS mat The deactivation of the front passenger airbag, side airbag and knee airbag on the front passenger side is signalled by the indicator light for the front passenger airbag deactiva¬ tion. The indicator light for front passenger airbag deactivation in the roof function center is lit when a small child is detected in the passenger seat or when the passenger seat is unoccupied. The brightness of the display is regulated by the automatic regulation of the display lighting. 54 F07 Complete Vehicle Rear Seats The rear seats in the F07 are independent seats with comprehensive adjustment options. The forward/back seat adjustment can be used to create a cargo position for bulky items in the luggage compartment. The seats can still be used by the rear-seat passengers with adequate legroom. Rear seat features: • High flexibility in seat adjustment • Very generous amount of space available, in particular knee room • Very large thigh support (fatigue-free travel) • Distinctive individual seat appearance • Comprehensive comfort features (heater, climate, comfort head restraint) • Spatial feeling of a sedan with the functionality of a wagon. As standard, the F07 is available as a 5-seater or optionally as a 4-seater with two individual comfort seats (option): • Standard rear seats • Rear Comfort seats (SA 460) Seat heating can be ordered as special equipment (SA 496). For the rear comfort seat, additional active rear seat ventilation (SA 454) is available as part of the ZLU Luxury Rear Seating Package. Rear Seat Equipment Rear monitors With the options Rear Seat Entertainment (SA 6FG), a swivelling display is fitted in the backrest head of each of the front seats. The display sizes are 8".

F07 switch block in luggage compartment (comfort seat) Index Explanation 1 Switch block 2 Button for backrest angle adjustment 3 Button for forward/back seat adjustment 4 Button for reset function Rear Seat Ventilation For the rear comfort seat (SA 460), active seat ventilation (SA 454) is available as part of ZLU Luxury Rear Seating Package. The new climate control concept is temperature-controlled, similar to the heating. Depending on the surface temperature that is reached, the fan speed - and thus the power output of the seat climate control - is regulated. With active seat ventilation, the air in the seat is specifically distributed. This is done by means of fan mats perforated at defined positions to guide the cool air to the body. The cooled air is taken in from the interior in the area of the lower B-pillar. Two central fans are installed per seat. These fans draw in cooled interior air through a shared box. 59 F07 Complete Vehicle Climate Control There are a total of 2 variations of the integrated automatic heating/air-conditioning system (IHKA) for the F07. • IHKA 2 Zone • IHKA 4 Zone The following table gives an overview of the systems: IHKA 2 Zone IHKA 4 Zone Temperature left/right Front: left/right Back: left/right Air volume left/right Front: left/right Back: together Air distribution left/right Front: left/right Back: together IHKA 2 Zone IHKA 2 Zones is standard equipment (SA 534). IHKA 2 Zones can control the air volume and air distribution separately for the left and right side. With the IHKA 2 Zones, the current settings of the driver for temperature, air volume and air distribu¬ tion can be transferred to the passenger side with the ALL button. In addition, the IHKA 2 Zones is equipped with the Automatic Recirculation Control (AUC). With this, the fresh air is cut-off if there are odors or pollutants. The interior air is then recirculated. IHKA 4 Zone The IHKA 4 Zone is available as optional equipment (SA 4NB) in the F07. In the front section of the vehicle, the IHKA 4 Zone has the same control panel as the IHKA 2 Zone. In addition, the IHKA 4 Zone has a control panel in the rear. With it, the rear pas¬ sengers can control the temperature sepa¬ rately for the left and right. Index Explanation 1 Front Control 2 Rear Control 60 F07 Complete Vehicle The air distribution and the air volume can be controlled together for the rear. With the IHKA 4 Zone, the current settings of the driver for temperature, air volume and air distribution can be transferred to the passenger side and the rear with the ALL button.

Changes to the MOST bus There is no SDARS or IBOC control units because the CIC now incorporates the SDARS (satellite radio) as well as IBOC (digital radio). AMPT is now in the place of the Top HiFi but this is mainly a change in terminology. Changes to the PT-CAN EMA LI and EMA RE control units are not present because the F07 does not have seat belts with electric motor reel. Changes to the K-CAN HiFi Amp is now referred to as AMPH but this is just a change in terminology. 62 F07 Complete Vehicle K-CAN2 F07 Bus Overview 63 F07 Complete Vehicle F07 Bus Overview Legend Index Explanation ACSM Advanced Crash Safety Module AL Active steering AMPH HiFi amplifier CAS Car Access System (CAS 4) CIC Car Information Computer CID Central information display CON Controller DME Digital Motor Electronics DSC Dynamic Stability Control DVD Digital video disc EDCSHL Electronic damper control, satellite rear left EDCSHR Electronic damper control, satellite rear right EDC SVL Electronic damper control, satellite front left EDC SVR Electronic damper control, satellite front right EGS Electronic transmission control EHC Electronic height control EKPS Electrical fuel pump EMF Electromechanical parking brake FD Rear display FD2 Rear display 2 FKA Rear compartment heating/air conditioning FLA High-beam assistant FRM Footwell module FZD Roof functions center GWS Gear selector lever HKL Trunk lid lift HSR Rear-axle drift angle control (Rear steering control module) HUD Head-up Display ICM Integrated Chassis Management IHKA Integrated heating and air conditioning JB Junction box electronics KAFAS Camera assisted driver assistance systems KOMBI Instrument cluster NVE Night Vision electronics PDC Park Distance Control OBD On board diagnostic connector 64 F07 Complete Vehicle F07 Bus Overview Legend (Cont.)

Thus the integration of the complete range of functions of Comfort Access in the Car Access System. The F07 also comes with Passive Go (drive authorization system) as standard equip¬ ment. The Passive Go drive authorization allows the customer to start the engine without active use of the ID transmitter. Due to the Passive Go drive authorization, the vehicle does not need an insertion slot. To start the engine, it is adequate if an ID transmitter is somewhere in the passenger compartment. The ID transmitter is equipped with a battery. The battery lasts about four years. Up to eight ID transmitters can be used with the vehicle.

This provides energy for the elec¬ trical system without having to use engine power thus saving fuel. In contrast with conventional power management systems, the battery must not be fully charged at all times but rather should maintain a charge level that is within certain limits. A fully charged battery cannot accept more charge, therefore that condition is avoided by the IGR. The Brake Energy Regeneration function reguires an intelligent sensor on the negative terminal of the battery and a communication interface on the alternator. Vehicles with BER must use only AGM gel batteries that withstand the large number of charge cycles. When servicing it is important to ensure that the correct type of battery is fitted. Brake Energy Regeneration No fuel is drawn from the tank (1) in coasting mode or while braking (in other words, when the driver’s foot is not on the accelerator). The injectors in the fuel injection system (2) are shut off. The engine (3) is driven by the kinetic energy from the wheels. The alternator (4) generates the maximum possible electrical output and supplies the electrical equipment (5). The DME (6) is in communication with the alternator and the intelligent battery sensor (7), which detects the charge level of the battery (8), and charges the battery with the maximum possible voltage. 67 F07 Complete Vehicle Brake Energy Regeneration transforms the vehicle’s kinetic energy into electricity, and uses this power to charge the battery. As a result, the battery draws less power from the engine, and fuel consumption is reduced. F07 instrument cluster A new feature is the blue indicator in the instrument panel below the tachometer, which lights up whenever kinetic energy is converted into electricity (while coasting off the accelerator or under braking). The red section of the display below the “P” is the mile per gallon gauge. Note: This Efficient Dynamics display is also installed in the F01/F02 with Brake Energy Regeneration as of September 2009. 68 F07 Complete Vehicle Drivetrain F07 Model Variants The descriptions of the engines as well as of the 8-speed automatic transmission can be found in the following training material: • Product information, N55 engine • Product information, N63 engine • Product information, GA8HP automatic transmission 535i Gran Turismo 550i Gran Turismo Engine N55B30M0 N63B44O0 Power output [kW / hp] 225/300 300/400 Torque [Nm] 400 600 Transmission GA8HP45Z GA8HP70Z Rear axle final drive HAG 205AL HAG 225AL Final drive ratio 3.077 3.077 69 F07 Complete Vehicle N55B30M0 Engine The 535i Gran Turismo F07 will be launched to the US market in the Spring of 2010. This vehicle uses the N55 engine which is the successor to the N54 engine. Technical updates and modifications make it possible to use only one exhaust turbocharger. The technical data have remained virtually the same - with reduced costs and improved quality.

First introduced with the E71 X6, it is the first engine worldwide with an optimized package. In order to achieve the demand¬ ing performance targets with an optimal package and weight, the twin exhaust tur¬ bochargers and catalytic converters have been placed in the V chamber between the cylinder banks, which meant swapping the positions of the intake and exhaust ports. The short pipe lengths and large cross-sections mean that this arrangement enables minimization of the pressure losses on the intake and exhaust sides. Innovations of the N63 engine: • Installed in several vehicle model series (E71/E72/F01/F02/F04/F07) • Exhaust turbochargers are installed in the engines V chamber • Catalytic converters are also in the V chamber (close to the engine) • Direct fuel injection with piezo injectors • MSD85 engine management system, fluid-cooled with FlexRay connection • Indirect charge air intercooling • Diagonal torque converter bolting. 73 F07 Complete Vehicle Technical Data N62B4801 (E70, X5 xDrive48i) N63B44O0 (F07,550i Gran Turismo) Type V8 V8 Displacement [cm3] 4799 4395 Firing order 1-5-4-8-6-3-7-2 1-5-4-8-6-3-7-2 Bore / stroke [mm] 93/88.3 89/88.3 Power output at speed [kW / hp] [rpm] 270/350 (6300) 300/400 (5500 - 6400) Power output per liter [kW /1] 56.26 68.26 Torque at speed [Nm/lb-ft.](rpm) 490/350 (3400) 600/450(1750-4500) Cutoff speed [rpm] 6500 6500 Compression ratio 10.5 : 1 10.0 : 1 Distance between cylinders [mm] 98 98 Valves per cylinder 4 4 Intake valve diameter [mm] 35.0 33.0 Exhaust valve diameter [mm] 29.0 29.0 Main bearing journal diameter of the crankshaft [mm] 70 65 Connecting rod bearing journal diameter of the crankshaft [mm] 54 54 Acceleration (0 - 60 mph) 6.4 5.4 Fuel rating [RON] 98 98 Fuel type [RON] 91 -98 91 -98 Engine management system ME9.2.2 MSD85 Exhaust emission standards US ULEVII ULEVII 74 F07 Complete Vehicle Full Load Diagram In comparison with the predecessor (N62) engine, the N63 engine features significantly higher overall power output and a more rounded torque curve.

The new transmissions GA8HP45Z and GA8HP70Z will be deployed. Highlights of the new eight speed transmission: • Enhanced gearshift spontaneity • Greater driving and shifting comfort as a result of a closer gear ratio • Higher precision control of the converter lockup clutch at low engine loads • Higher power transmission of the converter lockup clutch • Reduced fuel consumption (-5% to -6%) The GA8HP45Z and GA8HP70Z are new developments and will gradually replace the established 6-speed automatic transmissions GA6HP19Z TU and GA6HP26Z TU. The overall gear ratio has been increased from 6.04 to 7.07; the gear to gear ratios have are now closer, thus also reducing the differences in speed when shifting gear. The weight of the transmission has been reduced significantly using a plastic oil pan and other light weight components. The Electronic Transmission Control (EGS) control unit is integrated in the control unit framework of the electronic immobilizer EWS. This provides better protection against theft. Operation is now exclusively via the electronic gear selector switch (GWS). 78 F07 Complete Vehicle Mechanical torsional vibration clampers of the second generation are deployed in the torque converter: • Turbine torsional vibration damper, TTD • Dual-damper torque converter, ZDW. (used on diesel models) The function and structure of the torque converter are described in the “E70 Automatic transmission” training material available on TIS and ICR The vibration isolation reduces the proportion of slip on the converter lockup clutch and enables a larger operating range with the converter lockup clutch closed. This reduces the fuel consumption by 5% to 6% in the consumption cycle (KV01) compared to the TU 6-speed automatic transmission used until now.

The emer¬ gency release is located above the gear selector switch, below the right-hand beverage holder. Rear Differential As in the F01, the new rear differentials HAG 205AL and HAG 225AL with aluminum housing will be fitted in the F07. 80 F07 Complete Vehicle Highlights of the rear differential: • Lower weight • Greater power transmission • Better efficiency. The following table shows an overview of the rear differentials that are used: Model Rear differential Gear ratio Weight in kg (incl. oil) 535i Gran Turismo HAG 205AL 3.077 25.2 550i Gran Turismo HAG 225AL 3.077 29.7 Driveshaft and Axle Shafts Driveshaft Each engine-transmission configuration uses a steel driveshaft that is specially adapted to the individual torque requirement. The main focal points in the design of the driveshaft of the F07 were the torque transfer and comfort requirements with minimal acoustics and vibrations. The joints, shaft divisions and shaft diameters have been specified in such a way that they do not pass on any disruptive noises or vibrations to the connection points at the body. On the F07, the driveshafts are connected to the automatic transmission and rear differ¬ entials exclusively by means of flexible discs. This minimizes the high-frequency tooth meshing noises on the rear differential. 81 F07 Complete Vehicle F07 Driveshaft Index Explanation 1 Flexible disc (on automatic transmission) 2 Center bearing 3 Slide connection 4 Universal joint 5 Flexible disc (on rear differential) 6 Plug connection The driveshaft is divided into two shaft tubes connected at the center mount with a slide connection and a universal joint. In the event of a frontal impact, the driveshaft absorbs a portion of the crash energy. The crash function properties which are integrated in the front drive shaft tube, have been optimized. The spring force which specifically deforms the front driveshaft tube has been reduced once again. The capability to transfer torque has remained unchanged. 82 F07 Complete Vehicle Axle Shafts The F07 has axle shafts inserted on the wheel and axle differential side. Depending on the acoustic and dynamics requirements, different drive shafts are used. Model Engine Transmission Axle shaft 535i Gran Turismo N55B3000 GA8HP45Z Torsionally rigid hollow shafts 550i Gran Turismo N63B44O0 GA8HP70Z Solid shafts The journal version towards the rear differential depends on the size of the rear differential. The journal to the wheel hub is designed in only one size. The positioning of the rear differential means the left-hand and right-hand output shafts have different overall lengths. 83 F07 Complete Vehicle 84 F07 Complete Vehicle Chassis and Suspension The chassis of the F07 is based on that of the F01, which has set new standards for driving dynamics and comfort. The chassis of the F07 was adapted to these standards. Innovations such as Integral Active Steering, Integrated Chassis Management, Dynamic Drive and Electronic Damper Control, which are features of the F01, are also integrated in the F07.

Conventional shock absorbers are the standard damping. EDC is included in the optional equipment Adaptive Drive (SA2VA) as part of the Sport Package. The EDC is the same Vertical Dynamic Control introduced with the E70/E71 and F01/F02. The EDC is a sub-function of the Vertical Dynamic Management VDM. The actuator of the shock absorbers and the sensors on the shock absorbers, referred to a satellites, are connected by means of FlexRay with the VDM control unit. The dynamic drive control switch in the center console allows the selection of the damper characteristic, which is stored in the VDM control unit. The air suspension of the rear axle is also controlled, as in the F01, by the electronic ride height control EHC. Note: The EDC (VDC) and EHC system are described in the ,, F01/F02" Vertical Dynamics Systems training information available on TIS and ICP. 89 F07 Complete Vehicle System Components Front Axle The double-wishbone front axle introduced with the E70/E71 is used in a further improved design in the F01 and F07.

Lightweight brake discs with riveted aluminum pads are installed in all engine versions of the F07. Aluminum brake calipers are used on the front and rear axle. The familiar brake pad wear monitoring continues to be used for the Condition Based Service Display. The brake discs are internally ventilated on both the front and rear axle. The brake dimensions of the two engine versions are listed in the following table. This can deviate depending on model and eguipment variant.

It is operated via the parking brake button in the center console. As in the F01, the parking brake button in the F07 can be used to initiate a DSC controlled braking, as well as to engage and release of the parking brake as normal.

Servotronic,i.e. a speed dependent steering servo, is installed as standard in the F07. The servotronic valve on the steering box is controlled by the Integrated Chassis Management. The ICM also controls the electronic volumetric flow adjustment. This adjusts the volumetric flow of the power steering pump to the actual requirement. This, in turn, leads to a reduction of the fuel consumption and accordingly to a reduction of the C02 emissions. With the optional equipment Integral Active Steering, the steering gear of the front axle is supplemented by a planetary gearbox with override function, which supports a speed dependent steering gear ratio. The rear axle is equipped with Integral Active Steering, increasing the comfort and the driving dynamics. For detailed information how the Integral Active Steering operates, refer to the “F01/F02 Lateral dynamics systems” train¬ ing material. The components of Integral Active Steering: Active steering in front and rear axle slip angle control cannot be ordered separately, but are only available in a package as Integral Active Steering (SA 2VH as part of ZSP Sport Package). Note: Run-flat tires are standard equipment on the F07. Driving Stability Control Systems The driving stability control systems can be distinguished by the direction in which they act. DSC systems can act both in and around an axle of the vehicle-specific coordinates system X, Y and Z. Direction of action Longitudinal Pitch Transverse Yaw Vertical Roll DSC • • Integral Active Steering • • VDM • • DCC • Dynamic Drive • 102 F07 Complete Vehicle Dynamic Stability Control DSC DSC prevents the drive wheels from spinning when the vehicle accelerates and drives off. DSC also detects unstable driving states such as oversteer or understeer. DSC helps to keep the vehicle on a safe course within the limits of physics by reducing the engine power and by applying brake interventions on individual wheels. Note: The driving style always remains the responsibility of the driver. Even DSC is not able to change the laws of physics. The numerous individual functions that make up DSC are listed in the following table. Function Sub-function Designation ABS Antilock Brake System EBV Electronic brake force distribution CBC Cornering Brake Control DBC Dynamic Brake Control ASC Automatic Stability Control MMR Engine torque control MSR Engine drag torque control BMR Brake torque control DSC Dynamic Stability Control GMR Yaw torque control SDR Shear differential control DTC Dynamic Traction Control As on all previous BMW vehicles DSC can be operated in three modes: • Standard mode • Dynamic Traction Control DTC • DSC OFF 103 F07 Complete Vehicle Integral Active Steering F07 steering components Index Explanation 1 Servotronic valve 2 Rear axle slip angle control actuator 3 Steering wheel 4 Steering column 5 Actuator active steering 6 Steering box 104 F07 Complete Vehicle The Integral Active Steering (SA 2VH) increases the dynamic performance of the vehicle as well as ride comfort. The variable steering gear ratio of the active steering unit reduces the steering effort to approximately two turns of the steering wheel to bring the front wheels from stop to stop. In a low speed range of around 60 km/h (40mph) the variable steering gear ratio on the front axle is coupled with a counter steering angle on the rear axle. This makes the vehicle more manoeuverable. With increased speed, the steering angle support is delayed. The steering gear ratio becomes less direct. At the same time, the steering strategy of the integral active steer¬ ing changes. Whereas the steering is counter to the direction of the front axle at low speeds, the steering angle is increasingly in the same direction as the front axle at high speeds. This has a stabilizing effect on the vehicle. 105 F07 Complete Vehicle Electronic Damper Control (EDC) With F07, the Vertical Dynamics Management (VDM) is used with the integrated function EDC (Electronic Damper Control). In the F01/F02, EDC has also been called VDC (Vertical Dynamics Management). The VDC introduced with the E70/E71, was improved for the F01/F02 and now further improved for the F07. The actuator of the shock absorbers and the sensors on the shock absorbers, i.e. satellites, are connected by means of FlexRay with the VDM control unit. EDC / VDC is included in the Adaptive Drive package (SA 2VA).

Only one version of the VDM control unit is therefore used in the F07. For more information regarding Adaptive Drive see F01/F02 training material. 106 F07 Complete Vehicle Dynamic Drive Dynamic Drive was first introduced in the E65/E66. It is available in the F07 as Adaptive Drive (SA 2VA) and like the EDC (VDC), is mapped as function in the VDM control unit.

The operating principle is the same as in the F01. Four levels are available in vehicles with Adaptive Drive (SA 2VA). In vehicles without Adaptive Drive (SA 2VA) there is no “Comfort” level, i.e. three levels are available. The dynamic drive control switch is then labelled “Normal”. Three different modes of DSC can also be set. The Sport mode can be adjusted with the controller. 5 SPORT mode Sport-oriented drivetrain and chassis settings 3:42 pm FM 100,3 V Drivetrain & Chassis Chassis F07 Sport mode adjustment It can be specified whether the Sport mode should be activated only for the chassis and suspension, only for the drive, or for both together.

This fur¬ ther development of the Car Communication Computer CCC will now also be used in the F07. The head unit facilitates a multitude of new possibilities due to its data storage on a large 80 gigabyte hard disk. This device also makes it possible to incorporate a personalized music collection. Music files can be converted (ripped) or copied for the music collection on the hard disk. Once stored on the CIC's own hard disk, fast access to these music files is possible at any time. It is possible to choose from 3700 music files (12 gigabytes). In the radio system, the tuner/decoder for the digital radio (IBOC), and the satellite tuner (SDARS) are now integrated in the CIC. By changing the base plate, the more advanced connection of the music player (SA 6NF) was realized. This guarantees the connection and playing of the music from the music player in a mobile telephone. It is now easy to access the music stored on the mobile telephone. Easy menu navigation and playing of this music can now be controlled using the iDrive system.

It has a resolution of 1280 x 480 pixels. Note: Navigation (SA609) is standard equipment on the F07 for the US market. 114 F07 Complete Vehicle Audio Systems The speaker systems in the F07 are offered in two quality levels: • Hi-Fi system = Hi-Fi speaker system (SA 676) • Top Hi-Fi System = Premium Hi-Fi System (SA 677) The Hi-Fi system is the standard equipment. An eight channel amplifier with digital equalizing is integrated in the hi-fi system. However, only seven of the eight channels are used in the hi-fi system. The woofers are located under the front seats. They are each coupled with the side sill. This increases the resonance volume that is necessary for bass response. The CIC unit can be combined with all amplifier/speaker systems. With the Hi-Fi system and Top Hi-Fi system, separate speakers are installed for the high and mid-frequency range. Even though the speaker of the Hi-Fi system and “Premium” Top Hi-Fi system have the same diameter, there are differences in the performance of the speakers. This is achieved by using different materials for the membranes, coils and magnets. The Top Hi-Fi system supports playing multichannel formats. It is possible to play multi¬ channel audio formats via the drive of the CIC or via the 6 X DVD changer. The Hi-Fi system consists of twelve speakers; the Top Hi-Fi system has 16 speakers, each with different booster amplifiers. HiFi System The speakers and the amplifier of the Hi-Fi system can be seen in the following picture. The tweeters have a diameter of 25 mm. The mid-frequency speakers of the Hi-Fi sys¬ tem have a diameter of 100mm. The woofers have a diameter of 217 mm. The speakers are driven with an output of 5 x 25 watts for the mid-frequency speakers and tweeters and 2 x 40 watts for the woofers. 115 F07 Complete Vehicle F07 Hi-Fi System Index Explanation 1 Tweeters, front center 2 Mid-frequency speaker, front center 3 Tweeter in front right door 4 Mid-frequency speaker in front right door 5 Woofer under front right seat 6 Mid-frequency speaker in back right door 7 Tweeter in back right door 8 Hi-Fi amplifier 9 Tweeter in back left door 10 Mid-frequency speaker in back left door 11 Woofer under front left seat 12 Mid-frequency speaker in front left door 13 Tweeter in front left door 116 F07 Complete Vehicle Top HiFi System The speakers and the amplifier of the “Premium” Top Hi-Fi system can be seen in the following picture. The tweeters have a diameter of 25 mm. The mid-frequency speakers of the Top Hi-Fi system have a diameter of 100 mm. The woofers have a diameter of 217 mm. The speakers are driven with an output of 7 x 25 watts for the mid-frequency speak¬ ers and tweeters and 2x125 watts for the woofers. The amplifier of the Top Hi-Fi system in the F07 is equipped with load-logic separation. Here the electronics of the amplifier are supplied by and connected to a separate (stable) power supply. This is specifically designed to prevent loosing the electronics in the event of a voltage dip.

The control unit is installed with the 6FL iPod/USB Audio adapter. The Telematic Control Unit (TCU), which is known from the E70, is installed to perform the telephone functions (SA 639) as well as BMW ASSIST (SA 633) functions. A pairing assistant is also integrated in the F07 to help customers to pair their mobile phones. You can find more information on the telephone systems and their functions in the “F01/F02Telephone Systems” and “Car Information Computer” Training Information available on TIS and ICR Note: The specified range of functions can only be achieved with Bluetooth- compatible mobile phones recommended by BMW. A list of the current recommended Bluetooth-compatible mobile phones can be retrieved using the Aftersales Assistance Portal (ASAP) or at http://www.bmw.com/bluetooth/.
